When the government mindset is the “nail” of nationalizing everything, then all that they do is viewed as the “hammer” of morphing to a single-payer employer. In this case, turn the screws (to metaphor switch slightly) on small business... the employees therein will eventually all work for bigger businesses.
I realize you are stating that we will all be govenment employees eventually, but I am not sure how many are going to be willing to work at a car wash and if they did, they would slack off just like at the Post Office and nothing gets done in a timely manner. Now how will Obama pay all those generous Union benefits once we are all under his command and control??
