Kool-aid. That's certainly original. Liberals are responsible for all the "good" in civilization? The size of the modern administrative state is what they're responsible for. Are you one of the net taxpayers? One of the top quintile in American society? Or are you one of the net non-taxpayers, one of the bottom two quintiles?
The next time you encounter an employee of your state's tax agency during an audit of your personal finances, let me know how it went. Assuming you're working, of course. If not, let me know how you're visit with the local social services agency went. Either way, I paid for that. Let me know how you're last medical visit went. Did you have any choice for a physician? Did you get to even see one? Imagine a society where nobody is responsible for the conduct of their own lives. Every "privilege" you get from "Big Mom" can be taken from you if you don't behave. Government health care? Only if you quit smoking and eating butter, or meat, or doing anything that might be detrimental to your health. Good luck.
