Well first off as Pocket said already Obama campaigned on cutting taxes and that's exactly what he did with the Stim Package.
Secondly I know this is a very hard concept for Republicans to grasp but it does take money to run a country. This is not 1776 with a mostly a rural community a few dirt roads and people were expected to die in their 40's or early 50's.
In addition if cutting taxes were all that was needed Bush did that and still gave us the biggest Recession since the Great Depression. Furthermore following that logic the country would be just rockin' with no taxes at all... which anyone with half a brain knows is absolutely ludicrous. The country would be a wrecked wasteland of nothing but a few Lords & a population of Serfs.
And as far as all the "terrible government" you site that to is a false premise.
Education: Before government involvement the South was segregated Blacks couldn't even go to school with Whites and the schools in many areas were much, MUCH more pitiful than even our very worst achieving school districts now.
Healthcare: That's not something that is currently government run. We can debate whether the the government can make it better but there's no debate that as it is it sucks!
Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security: All very necessary programs for any advanced, civilized society. The whole reason for Social Security was to give the elderly some small safeguard against poverty stricken old age (read that starving & living under some bridge).
The only accurate point you've made is that "politicians" have RAIDED the funds of good well funded programs like S.S. because the money that was supposed to be there WAS THERE!
Luckily we have a new President that's cares deeply about all Americans but understands the realities on the ground. He will and is looking out for the Middle Class workers and their families as well as the American elderly population.
It's a very, VERY good thing my friend.
