Regardless of what you think about tobacco and cigarettes, a Field Poll released this week in California demonstrates how majorities are often inclined to impose servitude on others, especially if they engage in behavior the majority considers objectionable, that is to say behavior they are conditioned to find objectionable.

“California voters by nearly a 2-to-1 majority would support increasing their state’s cigarette tax by $2 per pack to help raise cash for a state effort to provide health-care insurance to the uninsured, according to the latest Field Poll released on Friday,” reports Reuters.

In other words, with the help of the Hitler fan Schwarzenegger, a minority of society, denigrated as “smokers,” will be forced under penalty of law and the threat of imprisonment to pick up the health care tab for people priced out of the corporatized “health care” scheme.

But it is not simply smokers under the gun, so are “employers who do not provide medical coverage,” or put another way, employers who refuse to participate in the state-sanctioned, corporate “health care” scam. In essence, the state of California is on par with a Mafia protection racket — either one participates and pays up or faces the consequences. A mere 33 percent of Californians oppose this criminal enterprise while a staggering “64 percent of California voters [are] inclined to support the universal health insurance plan outlined in the bill.”

None of this is particularly surprising, thanks to decades of public education effectively inculcating the dumbed-down masses in the mob rule mentality of democracy. Once upon a time, indeed a long time ago, Americans believed in and understood the concept of a republic and its foundational philosophy: an individual has a natural right to be left alone, so long as he or she does not impose on others, and it is tyranny when a majority imposes its will on a minority.

In California, they are none the wiser. In fact, they deserve the petty tyrant they elected, the washed-up actor who found Hitler to be a “self-made man.” Arnie is a “self-made” fascist, evidenced by his fawning admiration for Hitler, a fact graphically delivered by his SS Totenkopf belt buckle, displayed on the cover of Time Magazine. It’s said, after all, clothes make the man.
