Right now, in a time when we are seeing a resurgence of socialism in the Democrat party., I have to ask the question, is it in human nature to want to be free?
Sigmund Freud, said "Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility."
The Old Testament would appear to bear this out. When God Himself freed the Israelites from generations of slavery, "...the Israelites themselves began moaning, "We don't have any meat! In Egypt we could eat all the fish we wanted, and there were cucumbers, melons, onions, and garlic. But we're starving out here, and the only food we have is this manna."
We see the attitude once again from the currently front running Democrat candidate for the POTUS:
Bernie Sanders:
1. "People are not truly free when they can't afford health care, prescription drugs, or a place to live. People are not free when they cannot retire with dignity or feed their families."
2. "Are you truly free if you graduate hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt? Are you free if you cannot pursue your dream because you don't make enough to cover your student loan payments?"
3. "Are you free if you can't afford to see a doctor? Are you free if you must work 80 hours a week to buy food? Are you free if you can't pay for insulin you need to survive? There is no freedom without economic freedom"
