I have often remarked in recent years that the American people now blissfully put up with far, far, FAR more taxation and oppression than we rebelled over in 1776. Frankly, we owe King George an apology.

Collectivism is defined as the practice or principle of giving a group (the collective) priority over individual members. Individualism is belief in the primary importance of the individual and in the virtues of self-reliance and personal independence for society to succeed. The terms social justice, fairness and equal rights are also a part of collectivism. Collectivism believes that society is some type of super-organism that exists over and above the individual members and must be considered the primary unit of reality and standard of value.

When Social Security was enacted in the 1930’s it seemed like a good idea. Everyone working would pay a small tax and those revenues could be used to pay a retirement stipend to retirees. But then there were 45 Americans working for every retiree. Because of longer life spans and shrinking families, this ratio is down to three to one today. This makes it impossible for this system to work. CBO projects that in 20 years there will be no funds to pay one third of the benefits of retirees.

President Obama just fired/accepted the resignation of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Eric Shinseki in the hopes of quelling the budding political problem he faces over the VA health scandal, but the truth is that the real scandal is that denial of health services is actually government policy, not administrative incompetence.

Dr. Ben Carson recently appeared on The View. Carson condemned our current system of entitlement, and Whoopie Goldberg responded by proudly stating that she too was at one time a welfare recipient and that, “very few people want to be on welfare.” Did she know she validated Dr. Carson’s position?

The British Daily Mail reports more than a million students have stopped buying school lunches because of First Lady Michelle Obama’s “food police” approach to pushing her version of “nutritious” food on them.
