The Fed gov has been enslaving the people for yrs (think IRS, and entitlement programs). As the article pointed out the ideals and education of the enslavement of the people starts in our "PUBLIC" school system, it has for yrs.
The biggest issue for the people now is the pace at which the current adminstration is moving to 'finalize" the cradle to grave let the gov take care of you mentality that more and more libs and entitlement mentality groups feel is the way...which is really the enslavement that this article talks about....

Oh, them.
Well I don't see a lot of them anymore. To be exact we don't have poor people, we don't have food shortages and we don't have an education gap. So the government must have solved these problems.
I have noticed one issue since Obama has become president, the blacks, not any other group, seem to have been slipping more and more into the abyss because of these government programs. Maybe reading an article about crime in the Hispanic communities makes me think that there is a problem in the black community at large - "... even though most of the crime in the Latino communities has been high, a majority of victims have been African-American ...". This was an article about the Arizona law and how it is shutting up the Hispanic communities.
Honestly, once upon a time we depended on each other, even in the depression. I have news articles that talk about poor people, but no where did any of them mention starving people. There are a lot of them talking about the poor and how one group or another stepped up to help, even after FDR put in programs to relieve the pressure.
BIG businesses also were involved with helping people, imagine asking for a job and actually getting it without filling out a ten page applications, providing character references, and four interviews?
Once we could barter for a job, I will do this for you for X amount of money per hour. Amazing how Right to Work actually can help all of us.
Ford had programs for their workers to help them, a lot of the automotive supplies also. Hershey, Kellogg, and a great number of food companies never laid off people.
My maternal grandparents ran a farm on mining land which they had access to 11,000 acres. The mining company allowed them to farm what ever they wanted to but with the idea of helping others which they did. They had a "garden" that was at one time 15 acres, they had cows and chickens and even a pig or two. They kept whole families fed from 1932 to 1940 while my grandfather still worked in the mines.
BUT see OVM, here is the thing, the government has put road blocks in our way to actually provide for ourselves. I used this example before - My paternal grandfather was laid off from Ford in 1927 when Henry decided to retool for the model A. He, like thousands of others had a choice, either reapply for your job or find another job, which he did returning to mining coal in PA. When the depression hit the mining company in 1931, he found ways to make money, some not legit but one was to buy produce from farmers, load it all up in his model T and then go to the city (youngstown) to sell it. He did this for several years and made enough money to survive. I wanted to do this but outside of the ten different permits I needed to buy, handle and then sell produce, I still needed township approval, Michigan Department of Ag approval and so on. This was to sell produce out of my truck, not have a store.
So the best thing for us is to get government out of the way altogether, let us decide what is best for us. If I want to load my truck up with Avocados and bring them back to Michigan to sell, I should be able to without worrying about permits or getting permission to sell them.

Chef,
It isn't that they want to have an entitlement mentality but rather a dependency mentality of all sorts at all levels. It gives politicians power that they think they deserve.
It all really comes down to greed, money is the motivating factor in all of it.
Maybe one of the few changes we need to make should be about the money for the election/re-election funding and having that money go back into a public election general fund when a public official leaves office - removing the need for double PACs, hidden corporations and so on.
The real issue isn't this stuff anyway Chef, it is how the rest of us deal with it. We can't ignore it but instead need to find the right people to fight to correct it. I think the SC primary seemed to have proven a few things, one is that a no-body like Al Greene can actually win a chance to become a congressman or senator.
