In offering their opinions on just about every issue imaginable, all media pundits — repeat, ALL — totally ignore the F Factor: FORCE. Mao had it right about the underlying source of all political power — the barrel of a gun — but the normalcy bias lulls naïve Americans into believing it could never happen here.
Worth thinking about:
“What if doctors refuse to treat Medicare or Medicaid patients?” No problem. The government can simply force them to treat such patients.
“What if companies decide to lay off employees if the minimum wage goes to $10? “ No problem. The government can simply force them to keep minimum-wage employees on at $10 per hour.
“What if a company throws in the towel and announces it’s moving its operations to another country in order to survive?” No problem. The government can simply force it to stay.
Far-fetched, right? Hmm … but isn’t this the same government that forces people to buy health insurance, forces people to do things that are against their religious beliefs, and forces people to pay others not to work?
Buy, hey … what do I know?
