Not to be confused with Seinfeld’s “Soup Nazi”…….But damn close……I am talking about those elites with the large wallets that want to dictate what we consume……you know who they are…they are the ones yelling the loudest about calories and sugar and salt and fats on….on and on…..they are the ones that want the government to step in a control the consumption of certain items……
(Thinking……thinking…..)
Where I have heard this before?
After some careful thought…..I seem to recall back in the day in an American History class we were studying the beginning of the country…you know when Jefferson, Adams, Franklin and the boyz were trying desperately to find the right balance for the government of a new nation….I recall one of the lesser known Founders, George Mason IV, considered to be a radical as opposed to the moderate that most others were…..at the Federal convention of 1787, he moved to empower the new congress to enact sumptuary laws regulating what people could eat, drink, or wear……in order to promote frugality among the lower ranks of society…….think about it! Does that not sound a bit familiar?
We now have all these elites going on the tube telling us what we should eat and drink and in some cases what we should wear….we have governors telling us what foods are acceptable for consumption….we have mayors telling us what drinks are acceptable…all in the name of better health and most are aimed squarely at the “lower ranks of society”……
Once again the elites, those in the upper class of our society, are deciding what you should eat, drink and in some incidences wear…it was unacceptable in 1787 and it should be so in the 21st century….but you people buying the CRAP they keep selling…….at least they had enough brains to stifle that move in 1787….when less than 50% of the country could read or write…….what is your excuse?
As usual, those that are all for the government intervention are the very ones that bitch about too much government intervention……but on a side note……they will NEVER address the causes of the problem….just a solution that only effects a small group that will have to shoulder the entire situation….so damn typical of the American mentality!
