Vicente Fox & Government

The guest lecturer just finished his speech here at UT Tyler. I certainly wish I would've realized the thrills of academia before my senior semester.

It was wonderful to sit and listen to the former president of Mexico--as a former president, as a fellow human, as someone of a different culture, as someone who has risen from little to achieve great goals.

I don't see the benefit of a large government, of high taxes & much social intervention, because a free market & democracy have proven themselves over and over again. I do, however, believe in social responsibility--who doesn't?

So where is the elusive happy-medium? Should governments be held responsible for the welfare of it's citizen's? I can't foresee any policy that says otherwise.
