And Obamacare is No Exception

Modern liberalism or progressivism or whatever one choses to call it is nothing more than Utopian socialism. This philosophy has its roots in Plato's Republic and was later described in 1516 by Sir Thomas More in his book, Utopia, and still later it was the basis for Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. Each of these works openly admit that Utopianism must be predicated on an initial "necessary" or "benevolent" lie - the idea that, if you can just overlook the initial falsehood of the premise, the result is everything that follows will be better. Unfortunately, we have to learn time and time again that something that has an untruth as its foundation will never bring about some ultimate greater good.

Margarette Thatcher once famously said that the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. While this may be true from a purely practical sense, from a moral and logical standpoint, the "necessary" or "benevolent" lie required in order for socialism to work is its true fatal flaw.  Further, socialism is a philosophy that tries to force itself on reality as opposed to capitalism which is a philosophy that attempts to describe reality.

If one begins a mathematical proof with the false premise that 2+2 = 5, everything else that follows is doomed to failure. Regardless of the hoped for ultimate good, any program built on a lie cannot succeed and President Obama's "benevolent" lie, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your plan, etc...." and Obamacare is no exception.
