January through about early March, I work to pay for necessary and worthwhile government functions; March through June I work to pay for government waste, "entitlements" for whiners, education for non-citizen illegal aliens, and a distinguished list of additional things to long to list here; July and August (approximately) I work to pay for the socialized medicine subsidies built into the med insurance premiums I pay for family coverage; September through December I pretty much work for myself, although my kids manage to grab a fair bit of it. :-) |

Let's see, free health care for all, free college for all, free drugs for all, subsidized or free housing for all -- hell, we won't have to work for anything, it'll all be free! I can't wait.

I recall talking to a few engineers with whom I worked in Norway back in the mid 70s. Now granted, that was 30 years ago, and the Scandinavian countries have had to back off their socialist utopia to some degree, but the basic principles remain valid. While nominally employed in the private sector, these guys had had all their ambition and incentive driven into the ground by the tax structure necessary to support the government babysitting. What they told me at that time was that in order to double their after-tax income, they would have to at least quadruple the pre-tax figure. The horrendous thing is that now, thirty years later, we're almost there. |

That's about as socialized as it gets. -- Email sent to is never read. |
