Route 66, Tocqueville, and Obamacare
http://www.nationalreview.com/cr…Stretching across the 2,400 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles, there’s an America that President Obama doesn’t know and wouldn’t recognize: the America along Route 66. When one travels along “America’s Main Street,” the most striking thing is the wonderful creativity on display. In this flourishing of creativity, we see the evidence of liberty. We see the result of people being free to start, run, and patronize establishments of their own choosing, exercising their rights to do so just as the American Founders intended and fought to allow.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the president is actively promoting, and Congress is seriously considering, a plan that would curtail liberty and exercise previously unthinkable levels of control over individual Americans, doctors, insurers, small businesses, and everyone else associated with health care. The contrast between the limitations being proposed in Washington and the freedom of Route 66 could hardly be starker.
