"New Orleans is a microcosm of Europe"
The American Thinker has a terrific piece on the failures of the welfare state in Louisiana. It draws an insightful analogy on the failures in Europe:
"If anybody is going to be stuck in the mud, everybody has to be!" Doesn't that quote say it all regarding liberalism (read, socialism)?
The left never tries to raise the level of the poor; the leftist goal is to bring everyone else down to the lowest common denominator. Who wants to live in that world?
What a sick ideology leftism is. Not only do they not want their constituents to rise above the enslaved poverty level, they hope to enslave even more of the unenlightened so that the leftist elites may remain in power so that they may provide "all the needs of the downtrodden."
Everyone knows this. Even some still living on the plantation may realize this, but, as slaves, they feel helpless and dependent on their leftist master...Master Welfare, so they are browbeaten into thinking that maybe it will get better if they continue to vote their masters back into elected office.
But it never gets better for them. Forty years and trillions of dollars later, they are still poor and dependent on effete leftist demagogues. When will they wake up? And when will the leftist master be put down once and for all by a true emancipator?
European voters also believe they can't live without the constant care of the state. France voted against the EU Constitution, not because it would deprive it of the rights of free citizens, but because French voters were afraid it might bring in Polish plumbers who would work at lower wages. And just to drive the sense of personal impotence home, Germany makes it nearly impossible to start a business. The bureaucracy demands some $50,000 to start a corporation, with months of forms to fill out, endless approvals to get, hoops to jump through. In comparison, in Britain it takes six pounds and a one day wait to get incorporated. As a result, ambitious young Germans go to the UK to start their businesses. But that is obviously unfair to Germany, and the European Union is bound and determined to force Britain to adopt the German model. If anybody is going to be stuck in the mud, everybody has to be! Call it the New Orleans model of economic development.
