A Story of Marx And Helath Care : Freedom Lost by Acquiescence

An excellent story of progressive socialist liberalism's graphically examined and explained how it works to eliminate our individual freedom and how it is currently ''transforming'' our country.

Goodness, what appears to be just another government program to help the disadvantaged among us like OgbjmaCare, one has to understand how this little story of how losing freedom a little at a time is so true and the best example especially is our health care system. 

Never forget, ''Freedom means having nothing else to lose''.

But when the gate swings shut, and it will beyond any doubt, as OgbjmCare's designers final and original intent was to transition to government run ''single payer'' health care when the old system collapsed and it is, the public will accept anything to be covered by free health care. 

The ultimate destruction of individual freedom to chose is upon us as congress struggles to find a way out  of this mess. But the cry will be short lived if all attempts fail, free stuff is hard to over come. As the mass population will then be busily making the necessary preparations to acquiesces to the new demands brought by goveneement officials that will be running the new system of health care, all things accepted as individual freedom will cast aside.

Many will be too busy to take a stand to protest something as mundane as individual freedom? Maybe, but maybe not. In other words, the nation will be happen on it's knees until many among us will be dying without any organized health care run by a government that can't run anything without total corruption and failure. 

Only chaos will remain from the government bureaucrats. Think how the entire health care system of the United States will function when the Veterans Affairs administration and the abomination that has occurred there.

A thought to remember, Marx said, "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."

There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class.  One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.   The professor asked the young man what was the matter.

The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting Communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime.

 In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question.
He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.
The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free food.

When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America & Canada. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.
One should always remember two truths:  There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America & Canada, take some kind of action to inform others before the gate swings shut as it is at our colleges and universities.
BUT, God help us all when the gate slams shut!
