I read something the other day, about how they catch wild pigs in the jungle areas of South America.

First, they spread corn in a clearing in the jungle, and the pigs get used to coming to that clearing to eat the corn.

Then a fence is built along one side of the clearing. That scares the pigs away, but within a few days they come back for the corn again. Then, the fence is extended to enclose two more sides of the clearing. Again, the pigs eventually get used to it and come back.

Finally, the fence is extended around the rest of the clearing, with a gate in it that's left open. After some time, the pigs will go through the gate to eat the corn. Then while they're in there - the gate is closed.

The pigs will run around for a while trying to get out, but they finally settle down and eat the free corn. They've paid a big price for that corn - THEY'VE LOST THEIR FREEDOM.

And that's exactly what's going on in this country, with government providing so much and taking care of us all. That "free" stuff doesn't come without a BIG cost.
