Eutopia

In tonight's speech our Beloved Leader promised us Eutopia if we follow his lead on Health Care. I sincerely hope that everyone who agrees with and supports our Beloved Leader's message is still happy when the velvet gloved but iron fist of government crushes our liberty and freedom.

    I have to steal my response from a fantastic book called the 5000 Year Leap, 7th Principle-The responsible role of government is to protect equal rights-not provide equal things.

    The Founders recognized that the people cannot delegate to their government the power to do anything except that which they have the lawful right to do themselves. For example, every person is entitled to protection of his life and property. Therefore it is perfectly legitimate to delegate to the government the task of setting up a police force to protect the lives and property of all the people.
    But suppose a kind-hearted man saw that one of his neighbors had two cars while another neighbor had none. What would happen if, in a spirit of benevolence, the kind man went over and took one of the cars from his prosperous neighbor and generously gave it to the neighbor in need? Obviously, he would be arrested for car theft. No matter how kind his intentions, he is guilty of flagrantly violating the natural rights of his prosperous neighbor, who is entitled to be protected in his property.

    Of course, the two-car neighbor who could donate a car to his poor neighbor, if he liked, but that is his decision and not the prerogative of the kind hearted neighbor who wants to play Robin Hood.

    But suppose the kind-hearted man decided to ask the mayor and city council to force the man with two cars to give one to his pedestrian neighbor. Does that make it more legitimate? Obviously, this makes it even worse because if the mayor and city council do it in the name of the law, the man who has lost his car has not only lost the rights to his property, but (since it is the "law")he has lost all right to appeal for help in protecting his property.

    The American Founders recognized that the moment the government is authorized to start leveling the material possessions of the rich in order to have an "equal distribution of goods," the government thereafter has the power to deprive ANY of the people of their "equal" rights to enjoy their lives, liberties, and property.

    This pretty much sums up what our government is trying to do with Health Care. It is a denial of liberty, under the color of law, for the purpose of redistribution of wealth. It is why our current government is extremely dangerous. This is just the beginning of tyranny.
