Letters to the editor: Shrinking government is an idea that sounds good only on paper... Do you want clean air and water, or should factory owners be free to pollute with impunity? Do you want meatpacking plants inspected for cleanliness? Should we shutter the national parks? Of course not. Americans want and need a stable, functioning government. Throughout my working life, I toiled away with the understanding that I had a social compact with my leaders. I would pay my taxes and, in return, Id have good schools, roads, jobs and pensions. But for the last 30 years, Ive been told that I should keep paying my taxes — but get little for it. I dont want to live in this wrecked world the GOP has given us. Ill take the big government any day of the week.
