No Private Services Please, We're Citizens

No Private Services Please, We’re Citizens


Free enterprise, the only wealth generator of real dollars and provider of adequate and good service driven, by free enterprise competition, is increasingly under stresses, directly or indirectly applied form the socialist hand of government, everywhere.... except in Communist China.

The Communist government of China developed a ‘Whatever it Takes’ policy to remain in behavioural control of the masses and to just remain in power, period, earlier on when it saw Russia style communism in serious economic trouble.

Nothing says revolution like lack of money no matter whose in charge and as long as dictators or proletariats can afford to keep their pro-military fed and happy. Russia’s USSR had trouble with the latter when it had to down-size considerably and had to second-career the KGB as organized crime.

With all this in mind and the universally agreed incredible dismal track record of free world governments in providing any kind of services it’s hard to believe this kind of scenario would take place, at least satirically speaking but, in effect it does happen to us all in some manner or all.

A multi service provider sends it’s salesman to any house, anywhere, Ontario Canada.

Sales Guy: Good evening, Sir. I was wondering if I might be able to take a moment of your time and show you some of these life services we offer at incredibly low, low prices.

Occupant: Well, okay but let me bring up my personal government rep. He’s down stairs turning on the GPS system for little Johnny in the rec. room.

Sales Guy: You need a global positioning device in your basement?

Occupant: No, no that’s the Gay Porn Sensitizing system. Kids have to know what it is, ignorant adults discriminate against you know. I’ll be right back with Bob.

Sales Guy: Ooookay.

Occupant introduces, Bob the government appointed diversity expert and bi-lingual personal thinker and guardian.

Bob to Sales Guy: So what can we do for you?

Sales Guy: Well I just wanted to show this gentleman..

Gov. Bob Cuts Sales Guy Short: Got it!

Sales Guy: I didn’t even say what it was.

Bob: Doesn’t matter. We got it all!

Sales Guy: Pension?

Bob : Got it! We pay at least a hundred bucks a pay check for that sucker.

Sales Guy: Health Care?

Bob: Got it! Okay it used to be comprehensive and cheap but now its pretty selective, limited, and expensive but we’re covered all the same.

Sales Guy: Insurance in case you’re ever unemployed?

Bob: Got it!

Sales Guy: But this added insurance will boost your government paid unemployment entitlements.

Bob: Unemployment insurance is now as much as federal pension premiums. How do you expect us to have money for extras like private pensions and private unemployment insurance?

Sales Guy: Low premium day care?

Bob: We, er, well some of us are covered, and it’s not cheap for the government to do that kind of ‘necessary’ stuff you know.

Sales Guy: Private education?

Bob: Are you nuts? We’re paying high taxes for unionized education and we make the rules to have the kid come out the way they had better, anyway. Why pay more for the same finished product?

Sales Guy: Religious Education?

Bob:  That depends on a lot of things, for a lot of things including a heads up to our tax ministry. What did you have in mind?

Sales Guy: Oh never mind..... Communications?

Bob: Now, c’mon, Guy you’re not allowed to offer that unless we give you special limited licensing to do so and you give us kick backs in whatever form for all that extra money the communication industry can then charge and we make all the more in up-front taxes on. And you’re not one of those two, now are you, guy.

Sales Guy: Electricity supply?

Bob: Sorry again, Guy, there’s only one provider for that and electricity in this Province will get cheaper, only when all the debt from years and years of of our political, short sightedness, self interest, mismanagement and interference is paid back in full and we have billions to go. Though we just added a totally unrelated tax to electricity a week or so, ago. No flies on us, eh?

Sales Guy: Well how about pre-paid funerals then. You know burial plot, fancy casket, that kind of thing?

Bob: Well you got us there. What have you got that’s cheap, but you know that does give me an idea for another ‘special’ surtax. Anyone that can afford a funeral can surely pay a little extra something to the beaver and the trillium, hell they have to go in debt a little more anyway.

Sales Guy: Forget it, I’m out of here!

Bob: Nice disappointing and stumping you. Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to buckle up, not use your cell phone or smoke in that nice car eh? We have armed tax collectors for that.
