Re: Would You Rather Be Free?
If ever the terms "government" and "expansion" ever fall into the same phrase or conversation, BEWARE and pray...
The more the government spends, the less freedom we eventually have in some form or fashion.

Absolutely.
Quote:
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

We'd have to go back to early December 1913 for me.

Would the lone "No. I like freedom but I can't see living in a society without all of the government programs." voter like to share some thoughts as to why they feel that way?

When we depend on the government for everything be assured the government will become our master....

It was a Houghton Mifflin textbook from my History class. That's all I remember about it. HS was a long time ago for me.

Amen. This reminds me of the following quote...
