Is Socialism "Cannibalism Lite"?

A Modern Day "Modest Proposal"

With each new Trillion dollar bailout and public give-away, lots of us taxpayers are getting uncomfortable. We used to see ourselves as productive citizens; now we wonder if we are being looked at as mere monetary food. Someone has to pay off this massive debt!

This is what cannibalism is at its core: societal self-consumption. In this case, national self-consumption. Very soon, tax-suckers will outnumber tax payers. What's worse, those on the dole have a powerful entitlement mindset about your wallet. It's stealing with a muscular middleman. Imagine a FEMA pamphlet from the future that illustrates this concept. And oh, by the way, it seems that life sometimes reflects art!

Bon appetit! -- Hugh Farnham
