Armed Carts

It's a free ride when you've already paid
--Alanis Morissette

Cato's Dan Mitchell correctly observes that the situation in Europe brings this satirical cartoon to life. However, the cartoon is not completely accurate. It is missing guns pointed at the heads of those pulling the cart.

Among the most supreme ironies is that many (most) proponents of the welfare state claim to be proponents of peace as well.

The planner is a potential dictator who wants to deprive all other people of the power to plan and act according to their own plans. He aims at one thing only: the exclusive absolute preeminence of his own plan.
