Wage Garnishing for Freedom
Yeah, right, this is the first thing I think about when I hear the word "freedom".
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.
The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC’s "This Week," she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people’s wages, automatic enrollment."
I’m sorry, but that does not give me a warm fuzzy about what other freedoms Hillary might take away from us for "our own good".

The beloved leader-who-would-be knows best. How dare you even hint at trying to impede the glorious plans for the betterment of the people? Reactionary. Obviously you need to be reeducated, and the sooner the better.
Heh, indeed. The idea that liberals want freedom as much as conservatives rings hollow when I hear this.
