Lincoln freed the slaves. Today, a new kind of slavery exists. Just as the old slave owners took care of their slaves to get the most out of them, today's Democrat Party promises to take care of its "slaves". "Vote for us and we promise to take care of you." Once more, dependent upon someone else for everything, some people VOLUNTARILY surrender their freedom and enter what amounts to a slave condition, trapped because of dependency. Getting rid of the chains now is almost as difficult as it was the first time.
There is no better feeling in the world than the one of knowing you can and are taking care of yourself and those you love without outside help. That feeling of independence and self reliance cannot be matched. On the other hand, knowing that everything you have was given to you by someone else, not because you earned it or from compassion but to control you, must be one of the most depressing, unless you are a true free-loader.
Most of us need some help sometime in our lives but we can't allow it to become a permanent condition. If you rely upon someone for everything you have, there is no way you can act against that power, no matter how bad it is, for fear of the consequences. The chances are that you cannot overcome that power unless you determine to take care of yourself and family, no matter what.
Even though the modern "plantation" cannot be compared to the state of real slavery in the same sense, the part which deprives individuals of their self respect and freedom is the same.
