Sorry, I’m still not seeing the RESTORATION of Freedom and Liberty. This is GOPe Fascism.
Why do biz/employers still have all the ‘perks’?
Why are Joe/Jane six-pack still not ‘allowed’ to deduct h-care costs from their taxes?
Why cannot Joe/Jane six-pack mix-match their requirements the same way they might do for car insurance.
Where did the health-savings-accounts go? (Oh, that’s right, since it was OUR $$ we could take/use...).
Where is the smack-down on SCOTUS re: taxing an INACTION?? Congress HAS the authority....
I still have not seen any Amendment passed that gives Congress ANY authority to assist in the ‘healthcare’ of We the People; let alone stealing from one to give to another (Commerce clause is used left and right, what about the Takings clause?????).
Hear. Hear.
Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole with their common aim of legal plunder constitute socialism.
Now, since under this definition socialism is a body of doctrine, what attack can be made against it other than a war of doctrine? If you find this socialistic doctrine to be false, absurd, and evil, then refute it. And the more false, the more absurd, and the more evil it is, the easier it will be to refute. Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task.
Frederic Bastiat, the Law, 1850
“God has given to men all that is necessary for them to accomplish their destinies. He has provided a social form as well as a human form. And these social organs of persons are so constituted that they will develop themselves harmoniously in the clean air of Liberty. Away, then with quacks and organizers! Away with their rings, chains, hooks, and pincers! Away with the whims of governmental administrators, their socialized projects, their centralization, their tariffs, their governmental schools, their state religions, their free credit, their bank monopolies, their restrictions, their equalization by taxation, and their pious moralizations! And now that the legislator and do-gooders have so futiley inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works.”
