While Washington D.C. digs out from the effects of global warming, Ben Nelson is caving in. This is scary: “All Americans would be required to have health insurance, or eventually face fines.” When government forces us to buy something under threat of fines and prison, it has total power over our lives. Replace “health insurance…” in the previous sentence with anything big brother thinks is good for us, and you get the idea.
Examples: “All Americans would be required to have VEGETERIAN DIETS or eventually face fines.” Or “All Americans would be required to have BICYCLES INSTEAD OF GAS GUZZLING AUTOS or eventually face fines.” Or “All Americans would be required to have FEWER THAN THREE CHILDREN or eventually face fines.”
We are picking up speed on the road to serfdom.
