Government is taking us a long way down the Road to Serfdom. That doesn't just mean that more of us must work for the government. It means that we are changing from independent, self-responsible people into a submissive flock. The welfare state kills the creative spirit.

F.A. Hayek, an Austrian economist living in Britain, wrote "The Road to Serfdom" in 1944 as a warning that central economic planning would extinguish freedom. The book was a hit. Reader's Digest produced a condensed version that sold 5 million copies.

Here's one of the ways to fight back: Starving the Monkeys. They're NOT going to like it.

Amen!

This is worse than serfdom, it is self styled feeder rat of sodomitic governance.

Dragging down initiative in the name of “equality” simply spreads misery around and lowers the quality of life for us all. Yet it seems that the only idea anyone in government can come up with for any problem is to do more of that. What are they trying to do to us?

This looks very interesting, I think I am going to order a copy.
