They fall under the spell of the Marxist dreams of statist utopias and, as the case with ancient Israel, God has given them their wish. These same individuals will then loudly complain on April 15th every year of the extent to which the civil government seizes their income, yet they only have themselves to blame for this tyrannical statism. Slave mentalities necessarily lead to slave states. But they will never throw off the shackles of a tyrannical state until they throw off the shackles of a slave mentality, which prefers the security of tyranny to the risk of freedom. Secure men suffer from tyrants.
Free men enjoy their freedom.
