I've had one. I've had one non stop since I was 14. And I think I agree with most of what Dalamon is saying.
But I think we need to address the "larger government could solve" situation. Being an ambiguous statement in general, I think it's safe to say that most of the immediate hate will be from Propaganda and half truths that we in the US(and many other countries like us) have instilled in us. Buzz words socialism and communism were just as bad for older generations as Terrorism is today.
But forget all that... check it at the door. Lets move on to the meat and potatoes. Let's prove that big government always fails it's people. Example; The United States. We give our government up to 30% of every dollar earned(more if you are the sole proprietor of a business) to do what? Foul up everything from social security, to medicaid, to our national defense(how many people were killed during training in a war we were deceived into?), and all the way up to paying a group of people to make laws that can't manage to make the right, healthy choice for America because someone in their party might lose their seat.
Using the US as a guide, Big Government is an utter failure.
But are we the only big government out there?
It's awesome when you play the exercise of "who in the world pays the most on health-care?" vs. "Which countries give their citizens free health care?".
No nation on this planet does big government worse than the states-- maybe non-free countries like North Korea & China?
