The more society expands the state, the more it diminishes the individual. Personal opportunity and liberty shrink while despair and unhappiness rise. Expanded government regulation of the individual, group, economy, and civil society means, by definition, more tyranny.
The more the state provides its citizenry with products, services, programs, benefits, and free things, the more the funding-individual is robbed via taxation, and coerced generally. Socialist “free” or subsidized education, health care, housing, transportation, energy, day care, food, etc. is always low in quality and high in cost. The damage to quality of life and the culture is tremendous. But capitalist education, health care, housing, transportation, energy, day care, food, etc. is always high in quality and low in cost. The quality of life and culture soars under social and economic freedom.
It’s the job and natural function of society to provide the important values listed above, and it generally does so quickly and easily. The state has no such job or natural function, and thus it can only provide these things with great difficulty and via tyranny.
In order to do all these welfare statist and “helpful” things, the government must rob its citizenry and strip them of opportunity and liberty. The result of this expanded state is expanded slavery, coercion, pain, suffering, and misery.
