Along the road to tyranny

Tyranny is all about forcing people to live the way you want them to. The reduction of choice is one of the tools used to achieve it.

Bill DeBlasio doesn’t allow New York City citizens to buy large size bottles of soda. That’s tyranny because it eliminates choices that people want to make.

Elizabeth Warren wants to establish Medicare For All. That might not be tyranny if people could choose whether to use it or not. But she also wants to disallow other forms of health care choice, e.g., private health care insurance. That’s tyranny because it eliminates choices that people want to make.

The “Medicare For All and No Private Health Insurance” crowd wants tyranny. You can easily spot a lot of other people who advocate similar examples of tyranny. None of them are the kind of people you want in Government.
