(decided this didn't quite fit the other thread)

I think the problem with 'who would Jesus vote for' is that some people want to see the Government AS Jesus, as god, as the savior of all.

This is not only against what Jesus taught, but also against common sense. The government has become a golden idol for some, who provides the milk and honey, or at least cheese food product, and has removed all responsibility from the individual.

I think this is a disease born of laziness, and fostered by those who wish to exploit the lazy for their own ends by buying them off with other peoples money in order to get elected.

If you support me, I will take money from HIM and give it to YOU. Despotism in its most basic form. Forced labor under penalty of incarceration. I would say its no different then any pharaoh, only that would be a lie. The Egyptians owed less to the pharaoh in labor then we currently do to pay our taxes. Only the extreme wealth of our civilization, due to our constantly improving technology and unlimited energy, has allowed us to maintain this, but sooner or later it will no longer be able to sustain itself and chaos will return.

Millions who have become accustomed gifts from the government will starve, and those who still know how to work will violently protect what is theirs.

It will of course all work out in the end, but the longer we let it go the worse will be the fall and the greater the suffering.
