The only thing the nasty ol' government has any business doing is -- national defense, law enforcement, and protecting property rights. He thinks the only reason we're a wealthy nation is because of property rights written into law. Evidently education, access to libraries, transportation infrastructure, investment in basic & applied research, and the ability to walk into an emergency room & get treatment if your life's in danger has absolutely nothing to do with our standard of living.

Whatta maroon. Whattan ignoranimus. Whatta nincompoop.
