Brian Strickland is leading us down the road to serfdom

Nathan Deal's pay-to-play politics is a form of welfare at its worst; welfare for political donors.

Rep. Brian Strickland's failure to speak up and speak out during his two years in office is a dereliction of duty and erodes the foundations of a free society.

Strickland hasn't been reading his Hayek, truth is Stricklands secret is he isn't a conservative at all.  He's leading us down a road to serfdom as the conservative economist and philosopher Friedrich Hayek called it.

Strickland supports a welfare state of administration (pay-to-play politics) that harms our economic efficiency and  uses Government power to redistribute wealth upwards to political donors destroying the type of market economy a strong middle class is able to flourish under.  Strickland won't stand up to loser liberalism and he won't fight to protect our seniors.  Is that why Strickland is on the run?

Strickland hasn't read his Hayek on Serfdom and Welfare States: 
Hayek’s critique of the welfare state simply falls out of his broader conception of the legal order of a free people. If you have a patterned principle of distributive justice, one that would license a welfare state of tinkering, then you’re going to have to constantly interfere with liberty in increasingly objectionable ways to get the distribution right. That is, the problem withcertain kinds of welfare states is that they are one of many ways in which the strictures of general rules are relaxed.
So let’s distinguish between two kinds of welfare states: the welfare state of law and the welfare state of administration. Hayek’s preferred welfare state is limited by his insistence that the law be regulated by clear, public, general principles rather than administrative bodies. That’s why his safety nets are so general and uniform: because safety nets should follow these same general principles. In this way, Hayek endorses a welfare state of law.
Hayek opposes the welfare state of administration. First, it’s a vague target because it’s not exactly clear what principles it is based upon. That is, its general principles are insufficiently public. That’s one way (not the only way) that it can get away with tinkering, because the public lacks access to simple, public principles by which to evaluate and restrict the actions of welfare state bureaucrats. This opens the door to increasing social control (in the absence of ideological opposition).
But the second problem with the welfare state of administration is that it contains an internal dynamic that pushes in a socialist direction.'

Tell Brian Strickland this election day that District 111 supports economic liberty not welfare for political donors....

 Chip in to the Committee to Elect Jim Nichols.  Your $5, $25 or $50 contribution will help get the message out to voters that Brian Strickland had his chance and has failed to move Georgia forward.  Strickland is mocking you while criminals destroy our economy and our liberty for their own gain.
