I started out as a toned down version of Goldwater. What happened?
I went to university and watched people make stupid decisions* that will drastically affect their well being for years after. This lead me to believe that the government should take a strong role in discouraging poor decisions and encouraging good ones.
*My personal favourite was someone putting a Mediterranean cruise on their student line of credit.
How can we expect to improve as a people if the weak and stupid aren't allowed to weed themselves out?
We help them to become less weak and less stupid. Or at the very least, a functional version of their weak and stupid selves.
