Obamacare Architect Exposes Progressive Totalitarianism


Bruce S. Thornton    ... "Or to put it in other terms, this set of progressive beliefs––which we have seen acted on for the last six years by the president and practically every government agency––is totalitarian at its core. Not the brutal despotism of Italian fascism or Soviet communism or German Nazism, but Tocqueville’s “soft despotism,” the kinder, gentler Leviathan which undermines self-reliance and self-government by taking responsibility for the people’s comfort and happiness, and financing its largess by the redistribution of property. But no matter how comfortable in the short-term, such a condition is nothing other than servitude. And as Tocqueville warns, “No one will ever believe that a liberal, wise, and energetic government can spring from the suffrages of a subservient people.' ”
 
Obamacare in Cartoons: New Graphic Novel Explains Health Care Reform
Afordable Care Act Graphic Novel by Jonathon Gruber
"MIT economist Jonathan Gruber has released his much-anticipated graphic novel describing the inner workings of Obamacare, just in time for the Supreme Court’s hearing on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act of 2010. Most of us do not have the time or the ability to slog through the 900+ pages of the actual Affordable Care Act, so this comic novel is just the thing to help make all of this information more comprehensible."
