Albertans have decided to be less economically free
Monday, May 17th, 2010Albertans and Canada have decided by majority vote to be less economically free. Government bureaucrats have free rein to force public healthcare which, in turn, forces thousands of other restrictions on Albertans. Government bureaucrats are given the power to pick and choose favorites at their leisure. This means they control business decisions (an early stage of fascism). This also means that money will be diverted from the most productive uses to less productive uses. As as result, Albertans have more complexity with a lower standard of prosperity and freedom than they otherwise would enjoy.
Democracy should not have the power to advantage or disadvantage anyone by allowing the majority to vote away the natural rights of people.
