YES, THE GREEK GOVERNMENT HAS AN OFFICIAL PLAN TO RAID THE SAVINGS ACCOUNTS OF ITS SUBJECTS TO PAY FOR ITS EXTRAVAGENT SPENDING
Socialism is a curse we should wish only on our enemies. Any society that embraces it will become sick and weak. You know you are a prisoner—or a slave—when your prison administrators can reach out and rob your savings account to pay for their lavish lifestyles.

Obamacare Causing 20- to 50-Percent Annual Insurance Rate Increases.
If Americans only had the courage to do nothing, and unleash the power of capitalism on health care, prices would come quickly down so that the poorest consumers could afford quality health care.

Kuwait becomes first country to mandate government DNA registry for all subjects
The endless quest by governments to monitor, surveil and control all human life and activity continues. It went mostly unnoticed 10 years ago when the U.S. Congress enacted a “Real ID” law requiring that every state impose some form of biometric identifier in its driver-licensing.

An Example of a Society that made itself Wealthy: Singapore
Amidst all the recent news of societies foolishly impoverishing and destroying themselves with socialism, it is always good to point to societies that transformed themselves from poverty to abundance.
