The state has become an incompetent caretaker of the sensible human mind.
As Danish citizens, we have become used to letting the state make the decisions that will make – or break -our entire future as individuals – ignoring that our individual aspect will have enormous impact on our collective and public inheritage.
We are all accustom to this situation. Haven’t we all tried giving our entire responsibility to someone else, – letting them do the work for us – with the demoralizing result that the product of the ‘trusted person’, was so incomplete – that we just know we could have done a better job ourselves!!
Therefore I say; let’s stop having these inferiority complexes about our own reasonable minds! Let’s stop giving the responsibility to someone who will destroy our raw, uncut potential!
Sadly, the fact is that we try to let the state fix our problems on a regular daily basis!
We look the other way when we see people in our society suffering – Having in mind that the state will properly solve this person’s problems on our behalf! We all know that there are people out there who need social and financial help! But what we don’t realize is; the problems are getting bigger and bigger all the time! – Why? – Because the state is not doing a good enough job!
We all hear about huge financial crises, and how we cannot afford to support our young, elderly and disabled – But still – All we do is criticize the state for not doing a good enough job on our behalf!
The Essay on Poverty Is A State Of Mind, Part 2
Poverty is both a state of mind and an economical state. However, it is also a very individual thing, because some poor people just accept their fate and try to make the best of it, while other poor people starts to complain about everything, and starts to point fingers at the government etc. I’m not saying that we should just blindly accept the fact, that there are poor people and do nothing ...
What I’m trying to tell you is; we keep looking the other way, ignoring that without the states interference, we could achieve something better!
Let me help you understand just how, the states interference has an insufficient effect in our society:
Political power controls our country. This power is possessed by the politicians in our ‘Folketing’. These politicians will do just about anything to keep this political power. The way the politicians do so, is by letting their focus be the same as the focus of the media. (Hold this thought)
Now, when we pay our taxes as good citizens, we think we’re doing a good job, letting the state channel out our money to the ones who need them.
Now, we need to remember how politicians kept their own jobs.
These politicians will therefore spend the state treasure on things that will benefit themselves! Letting the money be used to things that the media is having their focus on at the moment.
And we can’t ignore the fact that when our tax-money go through that many instances of state institutions, the money will be spend worse at each step – since it is a fact that people handle people’s money with less respect than their own!
With the term ‘tax’ being mentioned, you must by now understand – this will not go unnoticed.
By taking up to 65% of our hard-worked salaries, the state is active in the progress of spending this amount of money for us! Making choices on our behalf, deciding what we need!
F.x. We would be forced to support public healthcare and education, even though we use the private industry and education. Furthermore, the state decides if we should smoke or not, and the state even decides what food we should eat? What is this? Communist Russia at its peak??!
Why can’t we make these decisions ourselves? Why does the state choose to undermine us by doing so?
