Kevin Swanson points out that the child labor laws and the accompanying unravelling of the family oikonomia (economic systems), have all worked to produce a nation where 70% of young men are not grown up by 30 years of age (per Newsweek magazine).
Where families once functioned as families, the corporations enriched themselves on enslaving the children (and the parents), until the children were turned over to the government. The same thing is happening now to healthcare. Our healthcare decisions were turned over to corporations, and now the corporations are turning them back over to the government in the form of socialist healthcare. This is HOW millions of families are turned over to the governance of total socialism.
Kevin argues that a biblical worldview empowers the family, while a socialist worldview centralizes power and turns all power over to the centralized state. He also interacts with the inevitability of slavery in a sinful world. Man is generally a slave to localized systems or large centralized bureaucracies. But God's social system provides the most freedom we will ever enjoy.
