How Have Liberals Gained Control of the Hoi Polloi for So Many Years?
Obviously, the great unwashed have not been the recipients of slush funds -- as have Liberal friends and advertising agencies -- so why have Liberals and leftists been able to maintain their control for so long? One can fault the opposition, but also, there have been other ways to keep people in line. It is insidious and pervasive. Every time you as a citizen allow government to provide for even one aspect of your life, you lose control in that area -- whether it be health, education, receiving the doled out business grants, incentives -- all that vast panoply of initiatives so dear to Liberal/leftists' hearts. Think about the following.
In the service of feminism, gays and assorted "special" groups, governments diminish the traditional family. They remove the supports for marriage such as special tax concessions in support of families with children and give tax concessions to all. They recognize any live-in relationship and call any two-person coupling marriage--whether it produces new citizens or not. They start to fund daycare and encourage women to leave home and go out to work -- partly because without the tax concessions they cannot afford not to. If governments do enough of these kinds of things, they have created the perfect situation for central control--that is, government control.
Our Liberal and leftish previous governments have touted daycare and government handouts -- as though anything were free -- ensnaring adults with promises, young adults with loans/high university debt, and the children in daycares, kindergartens and schools where their minds can be shaped -- that is, they are socialized to politically correct speak and belief. They grow up not knowing there is another way -- and all paid for by advertising with Canadians' tax dollars -- which, incidentally makes the friends of governments wealthy.
Citizens are fed just enough free or apparently free programs to keep them loyal enough to vote for the party of the handouts and hopeful of more. They provide a mediocre education system where the range of debate is sharply curtailed -- only Liberal/leftist ideas allowed -- and they've trained and got voters for the forseeable future. Simple.
