taxpayer money. However, five percent is much better than 100%,

which is the upfront cost of a direct loan by the government. They
have taken money out of the ripple in the economic pond. The

purpose of confiscating these programs from the private capitalist
economy is purely socialist control.

When you cannot confiscate a person’s freedom, you take their
money and then you control them. That is how communism worked

– it took freedom through the economy. Communism does not
work because at some point the finite money is gone. A capitalist

economy is perpetual – it is a self-winding watch if given the right
movement, and perpetual is infinite, until that movement stops. A

socialist or communist economy is finite – it is a battery operated
watch, and the battery has a limited resource of energy. When the

battery dies, the watch is useless. Moreover, a battery’s limited
energy can be extended or diminished by the amount of use – less is

more, and more is less. The ripples in the economic pond will only
continue as long as people continue to skip rocks across it, feeding

the economic ripples.
