Earl Pearson: Collectivism is a nice idea that simply doesn't work - Monday, Jan. 28, 2008

Any government big enough to give you everything you need, is big enough to take it all away, right Earl? Quote below from Earl Pearson's article speaking out against the danger of collectivism...


Union Leader - Earl Pearson: Collectivism is a nice idea that simply doesn't work - Monday, Jan. 28, 2008: "ECENTLY THERE was a political ad on TV in which a number of children appear consecutively pleading for politicians to tell the truth and not to make promises they cannot keep. The final battle cry was, 'Health care and financial security for all.'
'Financial security for all' sounds great -- if you know nothing about the consequences. What would happen to the incentive to work, to productivity, creativity, competition and all the other factors necessary to support a thriving economy and a decent standard of living if we all had financial security provided by the government?"
