Spoiled children are in charge. Spoiled children who have no sense of responsibility.

They need parental guidance. And many also need parental control and, well, punishment. Because they haven’t yet learned to be responsible adults. They are big, but they are still children. They are big but they still want all the toys for themselves. They are big, but they are still hitting other children.

The last thing we need to do is put them in charge or let them make the rules. Their rules are morally wrong and they don’t work. Their rules are: I want everything for myself, I don’t care about anyone else, me me me. Hey look at me. Hey tell me how great I am. Hey I’m so cool!

Enough. Children, you are grounded. We are taking away your toys — your guns, your governments, your corporations. We are taking away your Constitutions and Religions because you don’t know how to use them responsibly.

You don’t know how to do anything responsibly.

“You Can’t Tell Us What to Do!”

Just try me, Mister.

Who does all the work around this house? Who actually produces all the food, the clothing, the medicine. Who built the roof you live under? Who makes everything work?
