Beware honeyed words that cloak a darker meaning/worrying mindset.

"I believe in a Government that rewards those who work the hardest, not those who complain the loudest.I believe in a Government that rewards those who, day in and day out, work in our factories and on our farms, in our mines and in our mills, in our classrooms and in our hospitals, that rewards that hard work, decency and effort." Julia Gillard, 24/6/10

On first hearing/reading those words might sound like good honest and perfectly acceptable sentiments BUT and it's a big BUT because it is illuminating in the extreme as it clearly displays the socialist mindset.

I ask you, why should the Government be rewarding anybody? Shouldn't it just be serving us....it works for us after all, not us for it! In my view Government should just in the business of facilitating business and getting out of the way of free enterprise, ensuring level playing fields, providing safety nets and other services we the people determine it should supply. We should not be supplicants and servants awaiting our Master's rewards. Beware honeyed words!
