  6. Regis Bodnar If you're against against War on Drugs and mass Incarceration and against intrusive government (Patriot Act, NSA spying) and preemptive wars, I agree with you 100%. But Big Government is a right-wing buzz word, it doesn't really mean anything because it doesn't specify anything. The only thing it means that we should be all worried of Scary Big Government. Am I in favor of expanding IRS going after rich people who have tax havens in Cayman Islands. Abso-freaking-lutley. Am I in favor of expanding regulatory agencies to prevent BP spill and what happened Flint and what happened in California with gas leak. Of course. Am I in favor of expanding regulatory agencies to prevent financial fraud that caused collapse of the world economy because of subprime mortgage fraud, You bet your ass.  Am I in favor of invading foreign countries under false pretenses that cost $4 trillion(never mind all the lives lost in vain) and have a military budget of more then 12 countries combined. Absolutely not.  So it's complicated, it's not so cut and dry. On the right Big Government usually means paranoia. Like scary Muslim/socialist Obama is going to take your guns away and ban Bible and install Sharia Law and make everybody live in FEMA camps. On the right they only see everything in terms of black and white, they don't like complicated. The best answer about Big Government question was from Bernie Sanders when he said something along the lines, we need to have a government that works for all people not just a handful of millionaihas and billionaihas.
