A government big enough to give everyone “free Obamacare” is big enough to tell everyone what size BigGulp and meals that might affect their health they are allowed to have.

A government big enough to redistribute the wealth from those much richer than me is also big enough to redistribute my wealth, and with the government-encouraged flood of millions of illegals, big enough to take money from every working American to give to those poor illegal aliens and to parasitic legal residents.

A government big enough to redefine marriage nationwide, against the will of voters and even against the constitutions of many states is big enough to start telling people who to marry and how many children they are permitted/required to have.

A government big enough to compel a florist/baker/photographer to service others in violation of deeply-held religious beliefs is big enough to compel everyone to work at the jobs chosen for them by FedGov according to their abilities and for the wages allocated to each according to their needs.

I prefer freedom, which is why I reject Obama and his policies.

We have too many people who are incapable of visualizing the inevitable results of current policy. All one need do is visualize someone attempting to farm fields that have little ridges five or six feet higher than the lower areas. It is a fairly simple matter to make it all equal by bringing in machinery to knock the peaks off and level it all out. In the end it will be flat and the surface will be only slightly higher than the lowest spots were in the beginning. On the other hand, to bring the whole field up to the height of the highest ridges would require bringing in freight train loads of soil from somewhere else, necessitating that “somewhere else” is brought down to a lower level. If a person cannot understand that attempts by government to achieve equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity work the same way I don’t know how to explain it to them.
