N.Y.C. The Land of No

                                            
  

N.Y.C. THE LAND OF NO
How they will control you little by little, until you have no say. Under the guise of health and safety. As a result of the Affordable Health Care Act. Which turns out to be un-affordable and oppressive.

Most of you know me to be un-biased in my expression of likes and dislikes. Except when it comes to food and preparation of food. I make no apologies for that.  I like smoked BBQ and write about it often. I remain amazed as to the intricacies of producing a great food product.  I do have a problem at the thought of a local government, interfering with open and legal commerce. Along with our right to choose for ourselves.  If anyone wants to know what Obama care is really about should  take note.. 

Not Anymore

This is just the beginning of controlling the population under the guise of “ health and safety”. The rational is that the entire population pays for citizens who live unhealthy life styles. Those kinds of restrictions expand  the government’s power over the citizens. The process starts slow but continues to eat at our freedom to choose. Like a New York rat trying to get out of a card board box. It is not the big decisions that the government makes that limit your freedom. It is the small stuff that concern me most of all. They are what seem to be innocuous constraints and end up being tolerated.  

They build and build upon small, seemingly unimportant declarations,  petty criticism of  what they think is not in your best interest. They use these small regulations like bricks. Each brick eventually building a wall.  Not in front of you, not behind you. They build it around you.  Before you know it . It becomes a prison. Your prison. A prison of regulations and rules that you have not sanctioned or been asked about. It comes under a big umbrella called Obama Care. It's justification is health and safety. That, plus EPA regulations. That have pushed the envelope so far as to call water run off, toxic waste. An argument recently rejected by the courts in N.J.  It indicates the lengths they will go to control every segment of society. To advance their control over you.

New York City is a perfect example of how they exercise control of what you do in your daily lives. The mayor, a Napoleonic like power freak. Decides with the help of a city council.  What you do, where you go and what you can eat and drink.  If they can not ban it, they tax it.  Always needing more and more money for their expanding government. In order to feed the beast that enables them to control you. To continue the funding of public service union pensions and outrages salaries. That  unions then funnel back to the politicians. The insult is that we provide these tax funds to pay for bureaucracies that then monitor and control what we do, say and think.
