Trans Fats Ban One More Step Towards Total Tyranny

     Picture for a moment a capitalist America where no individual is denied one's individual rights, no market is forcibly sacrificed, one can buy any food one can earn, and one can pay anyone in exchange for medical advice or attention.  What arguments would the government have to support a state ban on organic substances such as the present attack on trans fats?  Are unhealthy foods costing government funders money?  No.

Now refocus and look at contemporary America with the ignition of the tyranny of Obamacare; and ask, "In today's socialized medicine structure, are trans fats costing the taxpayers too much money?"  Technically, the answer is, "Yes!".

There are two divergent philosophies one can take in regard to the issue of government in medicine.  In the first case, one can recognize that maintaining a status quo of freedom reserves responsibility to the individual who has one's rights respected.  The alternative is to take steps down a despotic road in which government steals from one individual and gives a fraction of what is taken to another individual, and then panics because it realizes that it is running out of money.

In Capitalism the government solution is to remain laissez-faire.  In socialism the solution is to transform to Capitalism.  The worst course one can take, in regard to the medical market, is to go from socialized medicine to total Government Health Care, which is where the malice of Obama seeks to send us today.
