Why was my question removed : Top ten List of political lies you are told ?

Question

Only from Politics and government category and not from others categorys where it was.

all designed to make you believe that government should have more power than it already has, so that it can create more of the disasters we are accustomed to:
10. My new program will generate jobs. : only the market generates jobs on net.
9. My education program will reform schools so that they leave no child behind.
T: the public schools do not work very good for the same reason no government program can work. They exist outside the market economy.
8. My program will save industry x. Truth: industry must be part of the market or else it is not really industry at all.
7. I won't raise your taxes but I will pass lots of new programs: Truth: all programs must be paid for.
6. As president, I will pursue a humble foreign policy.
: nothing in the office of the president encourages humility.
5. This war is humanitarian and winnable.
: war is nothing but a government program on a massively destructive scale, and just as error prone.
4. My reform will bring market-based competition. Be on the lookout for this lie, which market partisans are likely to believe. There is only one kind of genuine market, and it is rooted in private property and nothing else.
3. We will secure the nation. T: government cannot provide security better than markets, any more than it can provide food or houses better than the market.
2. Government is compassionate. T: men who seek power over the lives of others are the coldest, cruelest humans of all.
1. You can't love your country and hate your government. T: A person who loves his country loves liberty first.
One hundred years from now, the great story of the latter part of the 20th century and the first part of the 21st century will be the vast improvements in life wrought by technology. Consider the web, the cell phone, the PDA, the affordable laptop computer, advances in medicine, and the spread of prosperity to all corners of the globe. What has government had to do with this? The answer is: nothing contributory. It has worked only to impede progress, and we can only be thankful that it hasn't succeeded.
Through all of human history, governments have caused frightening levels of bloodshed and horror, but in the end, what has prevailed is not power but the market economy. Even today governments can only play catch-up. This is because of the reasons that Mises outlined. Government cannot control the human mind, so it cannot, in the long run, control the choices people make. It cannot control economic forces, which are a far more powerful and permanent feature of the world than any government anyway.

Answer 1

I thoroughly agree that governments are often excessive and should not be allowed to interfere in areas where the market already offers choices to the public.

I will respectfully noted that,
It seems that your trust in "the market economy" has reached religious levels. There are many areas where the government has a bona fide role and there are areas where the market does not get involved or is too slow to protect the public.

In addition because the business of business is to make money, society needs to keep on eye on business to avoid excesses, preserve competition and protect the public.

Answer 2

Considering education, the No child left behind act was written by Ted kennedy and his people, thus it doesn't work. The president never said anything about a program "generating jobs" only Dems talk like that. At the moment we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the Free world, so the tax cuts did stimulate the economy, but thats not a Government program.
President Bush in our attack on Iraq was following a policy set in the 90s, one that made the removal of Saddam a matter of national Policy, in addition the use of Force resolution was approved by the Congress. Completely unlike what happened in the 90s when Clinton on his own and with no resolution passed decided to bomb Serbia.A Nation with no designs on us and not a particular threat outside its borders.

Answer 3

Someone does not like you so they reported you. Happens to all of us. I've been told so damned many lies by this government that I'm really not sure which is the worst. That's government, not political party. Lies from both sides

Answer 4

To correct the Political situation all you need to do is, before people are allowed to vote have them take a Bill of Rights knowledge test

Answer 5

The truth hurts, and probably some anti-Rep
person couldn't handle the truth.

You know what the scariest words are?"I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Answer 6

Right on Brother. You make more sense then the rest of the lunatics running. Go for it.

Answer 7

your god and you don't know?

not much of a god if you ask me...

or maybe this is a test? oooohhhh....

probably because some reported you to YA authorities and they removed your question... maybe because it's not really "technically" a question....

should be "What are the top 10 political lies you are told?"

I've had it happen to me, even when it's evident...

Answer 8

Please add to your list of lies:
1) The Iraq war will only last 3 months
2) The Iraq war will not cost the taxpayer's any money
3) MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Hooray!!!!
