What Obama Didn't Talk About At The George Mason University Pep Rally
It was inspiring, wasn't it, the President givin' it up for all those screaming adolescents. They were lapping it up, all those promises of free health care, and staying on Mom-and-Dad's policy until age 26. So was he. A regular love fest. What more could one desire than moments like these?
However, JDA passes on that there are things about these kids' futures that Himself didn't mention. Like how the IRS becomes every family's new best friend.
What he didn't mention, and what they evidently haven't been told yet, is that every utopian scheme, however well-intentioned, and wherever sourced in the political spectrum, always requires a massive increase in governmental control. They all end in tears, and/or poverty, tyranny, and often-times in war.
Just ask folks in the UK how well the welfare state is working. Or how well it worked in places like Poland and Hungary before they freed themselves in 1989. Or how well it worked in Gemany in the 1930's and 40's.
It's especially charming that illegal immigrants are exempted from all these requirements to conform to the law of the Brave New World. They will, however, receive health care at taxpayer expense: No te preocupa, chavo; mi casa es tu casa....
And, so at this point, OS has decided to break with his new-found commitment to civility, and post the most descriptive illustration of this legislation he has found to date:
