Are the Death Panels Real?
Watch this video and decide for yourself. Whenever a Government is in charge of a program for the “greater good” of society i.e. Health Care, they imperatively must make decisions on the basis of where must these dollars be spent so that they benefit the public as a whole and not the individual. Despite the government’s naive spending practices, there is not an infinite amount of money lying around. Whenever a populace is viewed as a collective this is what happens. When the individual is no longer in charge of their own well being their existence becomes viewed as a benefit or a detriment to the collective. That is why we as Conservatives put so much stock into the rights and freedoms of the individual. Come on folks this isn’t Theoretical Physics.

It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
