Reality in lala land

Reality in lala land is simple.  Ignore objective reality.  Ignore basic economics of supply and demand.  Ignore the definitions of simple words like “insurance“.  Then crow about “this is what change looks like”.

Human nature is such that people don’t want to forgo or give up those things that they believe to be “theirs” and/or “a right”.  The Demoncrats and their collectivist ilk know this.  They play specifically to this baser nature of human behavior and perception.  Freedom is hard (difficult) while dependency is easy.  By this the socialistic hope to maintain power by ensuring that the takers outnumber the givers (those confiscated from).

There are no “rights” that impose obligation on others other than non-interference.  There are no “rights” to money, housing, health care, education services, cars or other “stuff”.  Many if not most don’t understand this.  This is by design.  Playing on the emotions and general good nature of people to fooling them that such entitlements should be “given” to everyone….FREE.  Folks often remain ignorant that there are costs and labor associated with anything “given”.  Just because it is free to you doesn’t mean that it is free to produce.  Making it free to you harms those who produce it.  Is that right?

Economic realities mean nothing to those who wish to “give things” to those they deem “deserving”.  You can legislate to create new demand by entitling people to services.  That does nothing to increase the supply however.  Therefore, simple economic reality is that costs will rise.  No, no you say, we’ll just cap those costs.  Capping those costs means reducing the amount people make providing the service causing them to leave the business.  This further reduces supply.  Since costs can’t rise (artificially) ALL the consumers are faced with rationing and other artificial controls on their freedom.

Unfortunately collectivists don’t understand these things.  Collectivist politicians don’t care because they insulate themselves from any social or economic reality.

The road to serfdom is paved with sloth, entitlement mentalities and collectivists living in a lala land of their emotion driven fantasies.
