Part of the reason Americans love the police state is that the government made Americans dependent on the government.
The government steals money from taxpayers to give to the lazy and outlaws feeding the homeless and starting a business.
The government bans guns so Americans must rely on the Gestapo for protection.
No one dares criticize the government if they will lose their food stamps, Obamacare, Obamaphones, and Section 8.
@dcjogger OBUMMER is gone, gone, gone....
@dcjogger
Nothing to do with Americans as such.
The welfare state was dreamt up by Bismarck in Weimar, it's goal to create a dependent population in order to prevent uprisings, for the reasons you explain.
As it is anathema to a responsible population, they invented mandatory government 'schooling' as well, to poison the heads of susceptible children with the good and necessity of that state.
People around the world today believe the welfare state is there for them, instead of the other way around.
It's called statism, and it's a religion. The worst one known to mankind, as it makes its slaves believe they are free. That's the worst kind of slavery imaginable.
@dcjogger I take no issue with contributing to feeding the homeless, IF my contributions actually went to feeding them. As far as starting a business you better make certain to suck the government dick to get all the licensing, permitting and insurance to start, the government uses regulation to (by way of the lobbyists) to keep small businesses from getting a start.....
There is fuckery afoot, complete fuckery.. In ALL sections of government. As I have said before: Man is unfit to rule man.
