This post by our favourite Green is absolutely PERFECT. It’s exactly what I think (except about healthcare, which I think everyone should have access to, like schools – and apparently others feel the same way, read the comments). I did have to chime in on HSAs which are from the devil.
A quoted quote and Green’s final thought, again echoing mine:
“A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess out of public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a Dictatorship.” –Alexander Fraser Tytler
I hold this as an axiom, and fear that the largess of the Democratic party at the expense of the productive citizens presages the fall of the republic. With the republic falls all of the freedoms and environmental protections, and even the largess that poisoned the republic to begin with.
READ the whole post AND the commentary. Brilliant!! I love a good political discussion! They are so rare in a country full of sheeple such as ours.
