"[P]eople who are infatuated with government... have no realistic idea of what an awful husband the government really is."

I said at the end of that post about how the government should pay people to stay home and cook "wholesome, healthy meals" in a program funded with a tax on "harmful foods." I'm starting a new post to highlight some of the great comments.

BDNYC said:
If your wife doesn't fuck you enough, there should be a government program, financed by taxing prostitutes and pronographers, which encourages marital sex by paying wives to have sex on a nightly basis. It will make marriages happier, which will help the economy. There will be a multiplier effect. Or something.

How do you tell the government you have a headache when it wants to fuck you?
El Pollo Raylan said:
Government is a terrible husband because:

(a) He's a polygamist: e pluribus unions are the norm: he's not looking out for you but your neighbor as well.

(b) He's a terrible lover: his IRS has an anal fetish.

(c) He's a pedophile--unabashedly interested in your kids at ever earlier ages.

(d) He can't control his own urges which means that another government will ultimately have to control him.

(e) He is a gun nut, buying and hoarding ammunition like it's going out of style.
ADDED: betamax3000 has a series of comments about "Government Husband." Here are a few:

Government Husband will Tell you What you are Making For Dinner tonight.

Government Husband looks like Harry Reid, Naked. Give Government Husband a Little Sugar.

Government Husband didn't Mean It, baby. He just gets Angry at the Middle East.

On occasion Government Husband likes to have Anonymous Sex with Foreign Governments in the Public Restrooms at Parks. Do Not question Government Husband's Needs.

Government Husband thinks it is Cute when you and your little friends play 'Democracy.'

Government is an abusive father.

GOP continues attack on state's local governments.

These proposals undermine local governments - especially in Milwaukee. And this ram-it-down-their-throats style of politics is all too typical of Walker & Co. It's a lousy way to make policy because no policy is long sustainable without broad support. Someday when the other side regains power, as is inevitable, the Republicans may finally begin to understand that.

ah garage - what a craptastic link.
BTW - I who is the author of that "opinion"?

I have relatives in WI and I know what they pay in property taxes. Ridiculously high.
As usual with the progressive left- high taxes are never high enough.

The key paragraph:

As the state has limited local governments' ability to raise property taxes to meet the challenge of rising costs for services, some of those governments have turned to user fees. So what are local governments supposed to do? Faced with rising health care costs, legacy pension costs and other costs - the same kind that businesses face - governments would be handcuffed. How does that result in anything but a loss of service? Is that what state legislators want?

We can't solve anything without tax hikes! waaaaaaa. handcuffed! waaaaaaaa.

Fees! We need fees! The democrat's secret way to tax.
Democrats exist for one reason:
Tax Hikes.
One more reason: Money waste.

Here's what's true, garage.

Forcing city employees to live in the city so that they pay city taxes is equivalent to letting them live anywhere they want and cutting their pay by the difference b/w Milwaukee and wherever they choose to live.

If it were done that way, though, I'm confident that you'd howl w/ outrage. But b/c Evil Scott Walker is on the side of city employees in this case, you're howling w/ outrage in the opposite direction.

@Chip: Acute Walker Derangement Syndrome (WDS) means opposing WI's sitting governor. His symptoms were exacerbated by the failed recall and garage now risks developing full blown chronic WDS. This includes not siding with common sense for partisan reasons. There is no known cure for chronic WDS except ridicule and treatment under Ingacare.

Bruce Hayden ayon kay ...

What is a bit scary to me is that there do seem to be a large number of women who are opting for the government as their husband, as evidenced by their overwhelming vote for Obama in the last election. And, thanks to LBJ's ill fated War on Poverty, we are into the third generation of fatherless families esp. in some of the minority communities. No wonder really that those are exactly the same communities where violence is rampant, since the males coming out of those fatherless families are never really civilized, either by a father, nor by marriage. Instead, they run in violent juvenile packs until they either die and/or end up in prison.

Making this worse though is that breeding opportunities for males have traditionally been what motivates them, along with the promise of helping to raise (and civilize) their own children. This is what has given us all those modern conveniences that have liberated women in this country, including cars, planes, dishwashers, washing machines, TVs, modern medicine, etc. But, instead, the idea seems to be for the government to take the money from the males, and give it to the females to raise their children with. But, this disconnection severs the tie between males and both breeding opportunities, and raising their own children. Maybe as a result, we now have a "slacker" generation, where young adult males are delaying, maybe into their late 30s, marriage and parenthood, and instead of making the world a better place for all, are, instead just working hard enough to support their play.

Kent ayon kay ...

Government Husband? Well, it's actually also Government Nanny, Government god, and Government Pimp. As for the last part, I remember the South Park episode "Butters Bottom Bitch" and the speech a pimp gives Butters on how to handle money. Basically, he said you have to brainwash the ho into thinking all the money is yours, and that she has to ask for money from the "bottom bitch" (the leading ho, but still a ho) who then asks the pimp, who then gives the money out. Sound familiar? Does "good for you!" and "you didn't build that" mean anything? Have you noticed how they don't say "your tax dollars at work" anymore because the words "your dollars" appear in that statement?
I also think that most atheists see the state as a mini-god that runs their lives and gives them stuff. The Christian is actually the one who believes in the separation of Church and State, because we're the ones, unlike Atheists and Islamists, who see a difference between the two.
