Yesterday, as part of a column about the burden of regulation, I shared a couple of Christmas-themed videos, as well as a tragic story of Santa Claus getting arrested by the IRS.
During previous Christmas seasons, there’s been other topical humor.
There’s more, but let’s focus on augmenting our list with some new cartoons.
Here’s Robert Gorrell equating Christmas with the federal government.
Very amusing, but I’ll defend Christmas for the simple reason that the whole thing is voluntary. Government redistribution, by contrast, is based on coercion.
Which is sort of the theme of this Eric Allie cartoon.
Though we need to remember that sometimes the statists bribe voters with their own money, but in other cases the statists buy votes from those who don’t pay any taxes (as illustrated by this Chuck Asay cartoon).
Next we have a contribution from Glenn McCoy that I find very appealing because it focuses on the ticking time bomb of poorly designed entitlement programs.
Very similar to this Lisa Benson cartoon.
Last but not least, let’s stop with the cartoons and try to answer the age-old question of whether Santa Claus is liberal or conservative.
The person who put this together says Santa is a conservative by a 6-5 margin.
Though the anarcho-capitalists may want to claim Santa since he’s from a land with no government.
P.S. If you have had your fill of Christmas-themed humor…
Maybe the voters really are that stupid.
White rednecks are the entitled gimme class?
You’d be surprised at how many rural folk are on the EBT track. A lot of meth and theft, they know when their neighbors and kin are at work or gone somewhere.
We have land in the Boston Mountains. There was an abandoned house trailer by the road to the house. One day my wife left to go to town, an all day deal, when she came back all the aluminum had been stripped off the trailer and nobody saw a thing. They had to work hard and fast to get that done.
