The conservative broadcaster and minister writes about the growth of so-called safety nets in the United States: "This dependency (leading to bondage) is encouraged today by politicians,
bureaucrats, social workers and think-tank elitists who pontificate, 'We don’t want anyone to fail, so we’re going to make sure everyone has a
safety net. It doesn’t matter whether you work hard, sacrifice and
struggle, or if you just sit on your blessed assurance and take it easy.
We want everyone to share equally. We want everyone to have everything
they want. The government will take care of you. If you don’t want to
struggle and sacrifice to succeed, that’s OK; and just to make sure the
success of other people don’t make you feel bad, we will punish the
achievers. We will take from those who have and give to those who have not.
The government will take care of you cradle-to-grave. That way nobody
fails. What could be more fair?'"
He continues his commentary: "You don’t encourage people to achieve and become productive by taking
away their incentives and sovereign responsibility and eliminating the freedom to fail. However
well-intentioned, this elitist, socialist approach to solving the
problem of poverty actually makes the situation worse. It is a horrible,
malignant and degrading thing to take away a person’s right to fail. It
is an active enslavement and an insult against a person’s sovereignty."
More: "Yes, we pledge our allegiance and our fair share of taxes to our government, but not our sovereignty, not our 'decisionability' (the power to make our own choices). Once we surrender our sovereignty to the government, government becomes our master and we deserve just what we get – or don’t get. However, when we all take responsibility for our own lives, our own success or failure, then 'We the People' become the sovereign masters, not the government."
