The choice is plain and simple. A free market and its concomitant free society will generate the wealth that begets generosity on all levels. The failed notion that economics is a zero-sum game can only survive with ever growing and more intrusive "sacrifices."

Excellent points all the way through.

The usurper does not want generosity on all levels because he can't monitor and control it. Hence the "worthy" registry is the one that gives gifts to the collective. Of course this collective just happens to be Obama's own campaign, but that's how it always works with these filthy totalitarians.

It’s getting late and I don’t know how much longer I’ll be awake, but I wanted to thank you for your excellent comments expanding on the theme of this post.

I also wanted to grab Post #50 before humblegunner wakes up.
