They don't. Google 'rich state poor state red state blue state'


The top result being a study by Gelman? I skimmed it, I don't see how it supports your point. Care to elaborate?


Amen to that. Why is it so hard for leftists to understand people voting for small government are voting in their own interest?


I didn't know the PATRIOT Act, all those porn scanners, Homeland Security, and decade-long wars were small government.

Refresh for me again under what leadership all those started?


My memory is a little cloudy as well. Maybe you can tell me who continued all those things, and even extended them.

But I thought we were talking about economics.


That's not really a counter argument. You stated republicans stand for small government, not democrats. You were given concrete examples which disprove what you stated. Arguing that the democrats are just the same is simply stating that republicans do not stand for small government.


No, I didn't say Republicans stand for small government. Some of them do. Not enough.

But certainly people interested in a small, limited government aren't going to vote for redistributive policies.
