In exchange for lower egg prices and higher 401Ks, Americans rolled the dice on tyranny. Now they have higher prices, lower 401Ks and the greatest threat to liberty since King George.

The slide into tyranny is always the same Protective rights are usurped bit by bit, on the margins. And then in a remarkably sudden fall, liberty collapses and yields to wholesale despotism. The final dissolution is easy — like taking candy from a Columbia University baby — because weak people and institutions will yield.
