Jason Lewis quitting

I'm only two months late on this but I never get around to getting on here. With that said I am still sad Jason is no longer on the air. Here is what he said and what he said is serious truth.

"All over the continent of Europe there are castles. castles that children are taught to admire. But these monuments are not shrines to liberty, but a stark reminder of an oppressive past that we are quickly forgetting. These elaborate fortresses were built to honor the riches of royalty. Such wealth was not derived from the cooperation of capitalism but from the conquest of collectivism. It was stolen through taxes and fees collected from the serfs. It was not earned. We have apparently learned little from history, for today we have our own royalty dressed up in the robes of compassion -- a false altruism that merely enables the mob and crushes the individual. We have erected a shrine called the welfare state and as a result we now resemble a nation with more takers than makers -- crony capitalists who preach the virtue of community service while acting like economic parasites that live off the system. Indeed, the real entrepreneurs are no longer valued, only the political ones who loathe them. Profit is a dirty word, while one's obligation to society relegates the most productive to second-class status. We are, it seems, endlessly told to live for others, endlessly told taxes are patriotic. We're told to apologize for our own existence. The pursuit of happiness has been replaced by the mandate of self sacrifice. This is not freedom. It is tyranny. And so, we -- I, you -- are faced with a choice. A choice all people in all times must make. To feed the beast, or to starve the beast? To host the parasite or to walk away? To participate in the system that punishes the value of your own existence, or to boycott that system? Ladies and gentleman, I have now chosen the latter. They can now feed off one another. I quit..." Jason Lewis 7/31/14
