The Vicious Socialist Cycle of Spend and Tax - And the 2012 Election

TAXES are the means in which the Government collects money from citizens to pay for services that the citizen may or may not want.  Here is how this vicious cycle works:

• Politicians (Poli tic ians - many small flesh eating insects) pander to certain groups and create services that are not economical, efficient or in some instances Constitutional.  For example, since the establishment of the Department of Education, America's test scores have remained stagnant.  The Department of Energy has not produced any improvement in the delivery, cost or process of providing Energy. 
• Once a department or agency is created they need to have staff.  The staff of course is located in D.C. where they are isolated from the real citizens.
• The staff then needs to have an Office which in the case of Departments means a huge building. 
• Initially, the building is built to allow for expansion - but since there is room in the building the law of expansion kicks in.  "Services and people will expand to fill the space that is available."
• To demonstrate that they are "doing something" departments and agencies create regulations which in turn require additional staff to monitor which in turn requires - More Space.
• When it is discovered that the services are not working as envisioned the Politicians answer is to Expand the departments.  "Your can't be an Emperor unless you have an Empire".
• And so the beat goes on.  Deficit spending ensues, taxes rise and the National Debt soars.

There will be many minuscule issues that will come up in the next election.  However the paramount issue is whether or not we will continue with this Vicious Socialist Cycle that is bankrupting our country. 

The only way to stop this vicious cycle is to LIMIT THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT!
