You’re In Bad Hands With Nanny State

You’re In Bad Hands With Nanny State - Guest - Sep 08, 07: “Thomas Jefferson wrote in his autobiography that, ‘Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.’ And boy was he ever right on that. Because since the time he wrote those words we have seen what happens when governments dictate to the people how to ’sow’ and when to ‘reap’. What’s that? You want a list? Ok, how about any number of the currently floundering European style socialist states, Cuba, North Korea, Iran and the former Soviet Union for starters.

But despite all these examples, today talk of expanding government here in American into realms reserved by the people as their own to control dominates society. Whether it is whispers of socialized healthcare where citizens will be required to regiment their doctors visits based on what a lonely bureaucrat in Washington decides or questions about what the government will do to bail out people with poor credit, shoddy finances and living beyond their means after they take out loans they could not afford to pay back, there is a continuing push to expand the umbrella of the Nanny State over each and everyone of us. Yes, that push is to encompass even those of us that are able to function in a civilized society and interact with other people independent of this control. Because without us in that latter category being onboard, those that would benefit from such policies would not be able to have them.

We’re the producers. We’re the ones from which the money to fund such failed ideas flows. We are the new slave class.”
