Ask Your Country?
I found this gem over at Principled Discovery. I warn you, this is going to make you sick. At least it SHOULD make you sick. Anyone who loves and believes in freedom will have trouble keeping your breakfast down:
Ask not what your country can do for you... Actually, go ahead, Ask.
It's an advertisement for socialism. And the ad is paid for and produced by the United States government. It is wrong on so many levels. In case you're not getting it, the advertisement points you to a government web site where you can learn how to leech off others. It's a site that teaches you how to be a lazy bastard so you don't have to work -- instead, you can live off the backs of those who do work. I went to the site. I threw up. Then I read more on the site. Two of the top links on the site entice you to get government jobs. As if we don't already have way, way too many people being paid for doing nothing as government employees, they're trying to hire more! We should cut the government workforce by about 90% and we might see an improvement. But, of course, the very first link in the list of links is "Benefits and Grants." If you follow that link, it takes you to a whole list of things that the government will give you because someone else worked, produced, and earned it. Government benefits, free insurance, free cash, free bill payments, free food, free housing, free legal assistance, free medicine, free "native american" cash, free training -- and you can do it fast, online! What a horrible country we have created. As Dana noted:
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. --attributed to Benjamin Disraeli, unverified
I'm not sure if we're in the dependence stage, or if we've just gone all the way to bondage already.
