As Eddie Chiles, the former owner of the Texas Rangers used to say, "There are three things I want the government to do for me. 1. Defend my shores, 2. Deliver my mail, and 3. Leave me alone."

Secondly, his whole rich Conservative guy attitude doesn't work for non-millionaires or, in the case of the Gulf disaster, for ANYBODY. If Obama said, "Here's your mail. No armies are invading you. You're on your own!" what would everyone say?

I would say great, thanks, dont expect any taxes...... Thats one of the big differences between conservatives and liberals:
Conservatives say "we'll ask you for help when we need it, we will pay you for the help we ask for".
Liberals say "I think you need help, it does not matter what you think, here is the bill for the help I think you need".
