The parable of "the safety net."

[sofia]

Think of the US economy in the form of Uncle Sam as a circus performer walking a tight rope. We the working people sit comfortably perched upon Sam's mighty shoulders.

Free and uncumbered , Sam nimbly walks back and forth across the wire without a problem.

Then the state comes along and starts adding all kinds of shit on Sam's back...taxes, regulation, litigation, debased currency, endless debt, etc.

After enough state sponsored dumping on his mighty back, Sam starts to falter and wobble a bit. A few of the little people slip off of his shoulders and smash into the ground.

The liberal statists come along and start whining "People are getting hurt. You see, free market Sam doesn't work anymore. We must act!"

So these socialists build a "safety net" to catch the falling little people and "save them." They then put the weight of the safety net's heavy cost onto -you guessed it- Sam's sore back.

And the process repeats itelf again and again until Sam himself eventually collapses, leaving us ALL not only in need of "the safety net," but actually grateful for it!

WOE UNTO THE STATESMAN WHO TRIES TO TAKE THE SAFETY NET AWAY!
