I’ve always been partial to these dependency cartoons produced by a former Cato intern, but these two are well worth sharing.
If you want to see more of Chuck Asay’s great cartoons, click here, here, here, and here.
On a related theme, here’s a cartoon from Lisa Benson.
The good news, as shown in this polling data, is that a majority of Americans still believe in individual responsibility. Let’s hope that spirit of self reliance lasts long enough for us to roll back the welfare state.
No matter who is in power, which party rules, or what you have or have not done in your life, the piper will be paid. The inevitability of consequences is a certainty. The rock can never be unthrown. We and our leaders continue to deceive each other. From the lowly ward moderator to heads of state, there is no accountability. We have let this happen. Our greed, sloth, short-sightedness, complacency and inability to work as a united nation has brought us here. “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” The simple solution is truth.

To the trolls that want everyone to believe the astronomical corruption of the democrats can also be applied to republicans and everyone else… I could use stronger words but you are nothing but propagandists either getting paid for it or just plain stupid. The democrats work hard a slinging shit, enough to get all over everyone and everything but you morons still keep them in power. YOU are the problem. Now go hide your head in shame and stay away from the polls.

Nothing personal.
It’s just money.

And control.

If fear the power of human nature has overcome the principles of liberty. We love to think liberty is in our DNA, but true liberty makes one responsible for that liberty, and there in lies the human nature rub.
