"Evil acts can be given an aura of moral legitimacy by noble-sounding socialistic expressions such as spreading the wealth, income redistribution or caring for the less fortunate. Let's think about socialism.

"Imagine there's an elderly widow down the street from you. She has neither the strength to mow her lawn nor enough money to hire someone to do it. Here's my question to you that I'm almost afraid for the answer: Would you support a government mandate that forces one of your neighbors to mow the lady's lawn each week? If he failed to follow the government orders, would you approve of some kind of punishment ranging from house arrest and fines to imprisonment? I'm hoping that the average American would condemn such a government mandate because it would be a form of slavery, the forcible use of one person to serve the purposes of another.

"Would there be the same condemnation if instead of the government forcing your neighbor to physically mow the widow's lawn, the government forced him to give the lady $40 of his weekly earnings? That way the widow could hire someone to mow her lawn. I'd say that there is little difference between the mandates. While the mandate's mechanism differs, it is nonetheless the forcible use of one person to serve the purposes of another. ... This is why socialism is evil."

When the state puts you IN jail for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but let’s criminals OUT of jail for their health and when the state tells you it’s dangerous to get treated by a doctor yet says a liquor stores essential it’s not about your health!

EVERY stinking "news story" talks about "the damage being done" or "the toll the virus is taking" on the economy. And "how can we get back to work" etc. THAT is ALL BS. The VIRUS is not doing any DAMAGE to the economy or preventing any work, the GOVT LOCKDOWNS are! STOP LYING.

I don't support the economic suicide of 2020.

The death rate in the USA from #covid19 is something like 26 per million.

"There were 33,654 fatal motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2018 in which 36,560 deaths occurred. This resulted in 11.2 deaths per 100,000 people and 1.13 deaths per 100 million miles traveled"

For those of you holding degree in gender studies trying to follow this, that's 112 people per million dying in car accidents in the USA

You're more likely to die in your car driving to work than from the #chinesevirus

As America experiments with government ownership of business, we should not forget the disaster that socialism was and still is! https://humanprogress.org/humanprogress.org/article.php … https://www.twitter.com/randpaul/status/1246211865648250881
