The quasi communist Kagan (and she's not only communist but arrogant and superficial) has no notion of liberty or even of basic right. The only value for her is, "what are you getting"? And if you're getting a lot of money from the government, which the government has expropriated from other people (or even from yourself), then you happily give the government complete control over your existence and you have no complaints. In Kagan's book, you are "free," because the government is supporting you. And this has always been the communist definition of freedom. The Communists said that Americans were not free, because all of our needs weren't taken care of. But now, as Pelosi says, we are truly free for the first time, we are finally putting the Declaration of Independence truly into effect, because now people can pursue their dreams and desires--quit work, be an artist--without having to worry about losing their health insurance.
Also, this shows how liberals-leftists believe that once you get any support from the government, no matter how small, they already own you, and you have no right to object to any further expansion of government power. Once you receive, say, Social Security, you have no right to object to the government taking over the entire health insurance industry, and then the entire economy. In the leftists' book, if you receive any government benefit, and you object to Obamacare, or to totally subsidized birth control and sterilization, or to sex change operations for criminal illegal aliens, you are a hypocrite.
Our Republic is in great peril. God save us.
