Now we have more expensive booze because the legislature slapped on higher taxes. But don't think for a minute that it meant that we got rid of the state liquor board! They will be in charge of the marijuana stores that were legalized.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382050215676302342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-1354759755318232872013-06-19T18:09:08.442-04:002013-06-19T18:09:08.442-04:00This is as good an explanation I've ever seen ...This is as good an explanation I've ever seen of the intrinsic problems of socialism.

It might even spark a cottage industry: making bath soap guaranteed to remove all traces of newsprint from your rear.<br /><br />I am not a survivalist, in the context most often used today. But I am working on a plan for urban survival. I don't worry too much about shortages of newsprint. But what happens when 4 or 5 million unprepared local residents can't get food? The increasing centralization of providers of our food supply is scary all by itself. Not sure what my plan will ultimately look like, but I suspect getting out of Dodge is going to be part of it.

Or perhaps it's not that amazing. The road to socialism is always an alliance between the corrupt an the idiots, with a few fanatics thrown in. The corrupt are selling plausible salvation to the idiots. Unfortunately capitalism often leads to crony capitalism, which is really fascism, and that makes socialism an easy sell. The idiots are also easily confuse about what constitutes real education, and thus produce more idiots who ready to accept socialism. There are STILL not enough idiots in the US, evidently, because the left and the crony capitalists are ready to import more of them from Latin America. The crony capitalists are always ready to buy the rope that will be used to hang them, but what else is new?IgorRhttp://www.gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-49789634068603349362013-06-19T10:44:19.225-04:002013-06-19T10:44:19.225-04:00Excellent commentary.

It is the natural tendency in capitalism; without anti-trust laws we'd be in much deeper economic trouble, with an even greater divide. It takes some nimble and effective public effort to keep one "side" or the other from taking over. <br />JerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
