Calling Out the Pro-Slavery ‘Unproclaiming Emancipation’ Left
A documentary I saw years ago horrified me. In Japan (and now elsewhere) the market found a creative solution to expensive mortgages: Multi-generation loans.
It’s pretty simple. Mom and dad find a house they like, and sign their names on the mortgage. Then they add little Junior’s name as well. When mom and dad are dead and gone, little Junior inherits the burden. In the case of 100 year loans, this can span several generations.
How wonderful. Mom and dad get the house they want, and little junior gets to pay the tab. He doesn’t even need to agree to the location or any of the terms of the mortgage. He just inherits the debt.
This is exactly what we are doing with our economy. Bigger government, more oversight, other bureaucrats and agencies; it all costs money. But it doesn’t cost our money, we just borrow it. The elephant in the room is that any bill left unpaid by us, is paid for by our children.
Gone are the days of parents wanting to provide their children with things they couldn’t have themselves. Our selfish generation has reversed that trend. Now they want things for themselves, even if it their own kids will have to do without. People who throw around the “war on (x)” rhetoric need to look in the mirror for their own role in this particular “War on Children.”
Our kids will be stuck paying for programs we have (but can’t pay for). They will be so busy paying off the interest for our loans, that they themselves will have to do without. Our children and grandchildren will be working for our personal gain. How is that not enslavement? Our generation is un-proclaiming Emancipation, and selling our own future into bondage. We’re accused of pushing granny’s wheelchair off a cliff while they’re really doing it with a stroller.
Why are they willing to make slaves out of our children?
Why are we willing to let them?
