It was C.S. Lewis who, in his unforgettable Screwtape Letters, wrote: “The greatest evil is not done now in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint. It is not even done in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their.”
So this weekend, listen to those quiet men and women who “do not need to raise their voice” as they lay upon the united states economy the a new bondage of entitlement. They will feel so good, and warm and pleased with their actions whose results will choke the oxygen out of our economy, crowd out investment, money for your child’s education, and make us all poorer.
