Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

February 5, 2008

In ways too numerous to count and too common for most people to notice, the government that rules us acts on assumptions derived directly from the Communist Manifesto.

Sure, we grumble occasionally about the burdens imposed by the income tax, or puzzle over the bizarre injustice of the inheritance tax, or complain about problems with the government-run school system.
But we rarely, if ever, stop to think that these and many other policies woven into our daily lives are crimson threads of the same kind used by Marx and Engels to weave their own totalitarian tapestry.

Recently, presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton casually explained that her health care plan would involve ?going after people's wages [and] automatic enrollment? in order to bring about universal insurance coverage. Garishment of wages to pay for socialized medicine would be overtly totalitarian, but it wouldn't be a significant departure from many impositions of the sort we currently endure.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
