“There is no free lunch”. Beginning in the 1850’s taverns advertised free lunches given to those who bought liquid libation at their establishment. The price of the food was paid for by naive patrons through higher prices for beer. I’d guess alcohol in the brain leads to mushy, muddled thinking to believe you’d get something for nothing. So it goes with”free handouts” or higher taxes for business, mushy heads think it is free. The catch is you pay more and you loose your freedoms.
Today, these free lunches are government entitlements and handouts to buy votes. Someone pays for overpriced union health insurance, public union membership compulsion and ensuing fees, and increased government regulation of your choices. Can you say mercury light bulbs, job killing green energy mandates and Obamacare waivers? Well guess what, you and I pay more in taxes, hidden fees, loss of economic freedoms, and loss of private property protections.
Don’t be suckered by thinking you are getting something for nothing – there’s no such thing as a free lunch. This 4th of July take some time to reflect on the cost of your liberty and freedom.
