It's manipulation and coercion pure and simple, made so much easier when people have given up their rights and the state can use their health as a bargaining chip. Look at your sentence up there. The state first makes your life vulnerable to danger (by letting the felons out), taking away your second line of security by firing the police (I say second line, because first line would be to have your own means of self-defense, but you really shouldn't be at liberty have a gun to protect yourself), your pursuit of happiness (because the state bought up all the nature, and will take away your free books). Big avenues of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness all cut down in a few strokes. Ever heard of the <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967" rel="nofollow">Cloward-Piven</a> strategy? It's probably as old as civilization itself, but adapted for modern times. “the state will now unleash the felons in your community, fire the cops, shut down the parks (because Nature was never available before you had several full time TWRA patrolmen at every location) and shutter the libraries.”
