After watching one of the great videos from Mises Media on the video page, I asked myself the question, "If I was one of the ones getting these benefits from government mandates and subsidies, would I still have the same opinion I do now that freedom from the government is the best thing for Americans?"
Sometimes it seems that the freedom movement is about the 'Have-Nots' looking over the fence and seeing the green grass of the 'Haves.'
I guess that is what makes Ron Paul and other Freedom fighters so special, because they have the ability to benefit from this transfer of wealth, but choose not too.
How would you feel if you were on the other side of the fence?

I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas. - Ron Paul

We have learned the the plaugue of consumerism only leaves us wanting more.... The minions are now afflicted with affluenza. The Haves, really don't have much do they?
I guess I'm a have not... and I have more love, light and understanding in my heart than I know what to do with. And yet I still am aware that theres so much left to learn.
If I were on the other side, If I was a "Have" I would be giving to the have-nots, My heart wouldn't change, and my core wouldn't change. So I'd have to say No I wouldn't feel differant if I were on the other side.....
Well Maybe I would feel differently, I would have that "constant craving" and My nose would burn from all the stinky shat surrounding me.
I'd rather plant seeds....
when it's covering the septic drain field. As with the neocons, it is a very smelly illusion of prosperity.
Always vote for principal, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweet reflection that your vote is never lost.
