MacIver News Minute: Cradle to Grave

Democrat Socialists are promising Americans a better way.  Free almost everything.  But is it?Increase minimum wage, and you eliminate entry-level jobs. A 32-hour week with full pay reduces hiring and increases automation. The free childcare program in New Mexico is tens of millions of dollars over budget. Free college and debt cancellation for you, inflates the cost of tuition, and burdens others who paid their own way. Free groceries and healthcare shift costs onto taxpayers and limits choice. Hillary Clinton called for these cradle-to-grave policies, and voters soundly rejected her. It all sounds good at first, but ask yourself: do these policies increase government or freedom? Please choose freedom.  America’s founding principles of natural rights and limited government conflict with Democrat Socialism.
