68% Prefer A Government With Fewer Services, Lower Taxes

House Republicans are proposing to follow their repeal of the national health care bill with billions in spending cuts,  and most voters continue to favor a government that offers fewer services and lower taxes.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of Likely Voters prefer a government with fewer services and lower taxes rather than a more active one with more services and higher taxes.  This is virtually identical to last month and consistent with findings since September.

Even a plurality of Democrats (47%) now favors a government with fewer services and lower taxes.  But that finding is dwarfed by the 90% of Republicans and 67% of voters not affiliated with either political party who feel that way.

Yeah, that group of people are called "Libertarians." Say the word. It is the party of the future. Learn about them. If they had a real voice in government, some of this stuff wouldn't be happening. We would be getting back to basics, and the bloated government bureaucracy would start to be trimmed down.
