The concept of "sacrifice" is essential for socialism to operate; dictators need to find a way to get people to relinquish values and control over their lives. So it is always about prying something you value or cherish from your hands for some undefinable "public good". The "public", simply being a non-existent entity consisting of everyone - except YOU... and the socialist, it's self-appointed spokesman-with a gun. And the "good", being whatever they want it to be. ~Ayn Rand
