Change Could Usher in Extinction
CHANGE IS in the air— or so we hear. That is the mantra. All our presidential candidates, to some extent or another, are promising change. But change to what, and for whom?
Plans for additional governmental control over human activity seems to be the theme. Education and health care are major topics. Yet increasing bureaucratic involvement in these areas has resulted in poor performance, fraud and a waste of taxpayers’ dollars.
Producers of current energy supplies will be hampered by more regulations and taxed to near extinction in favor of subsidized “designer” alternative fuel companies. Damn the market, the politicians and environmentalists know what is best.
Do not question them, they are inspired and determined and not deterred by facts. Producers of goods and services will face energy shortages, government manipulation of the money supply and blatant political favoritism.
Businesses asking for handouts will be the norm. Integrity will become an antiquated notion. Stores filled with food, clothing and consumer goods will be a thing of the past. Shortages will abound, lines will form and primitive man will emerge. We may be the most prosperous nation in history to self-destruct and the last generation to enjoy what we have today.
What we eat, drink, drive and do will be controlled by our saviors. Crises will be constant and control absolute. What is left of property rights and individual liberties will finally be laid to rest. We will live in fear, unable to think beyond our own survival. As in most of the world, and throughout the history of man, life will be brutal and brief.
