Nadya Suleman is a woman who could not qualify as a foster parent, let alone an adoptive parent, and she was allowed to bring eight more children into the world, for a total of fourteen she cannot possibly care for properly. In my opinion, this is theft and child endangerment.

My heart breaks for the future of her fourteen children.

And my heart breaks for the future of America. Over half of all wage earners pay no federal income tax yet they, too, are assuming someone else is going to pay their way. In this respect, they’re like Nadya Suleman.

As Alexander Tytler allegedly wrote in 1787:

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship…The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; and then from dependence back into bondage.

As a nation we look like we’re well down that path to dependence. Clearly, we are a looking to big government to meet more and more of our needs. Let’s pray we change course before we kill the goose that lays golden eggs.
