Trick or treat is not what it once was. The kids still say it, of course: “trick or treat?” before they hold out their buckets for candy. It used to be a choice – trick or treat – and you got to make a decision. It’s not a choice anymore, though. The or is merely an illusion to make you think you have the option. In a way, then, it is a reflection of the radical left's social and economic platforms. It is as if you answered the knock on your door on October 31 and there stood Barack Obama, saying: “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”
In case you don’t much care for that scenario, think of what trick-or-treating could look like next year, if Obama’s former vice president prevails on November 3: instead of masked toddlers in adorable costumes asking for a few pieces of candy, masked teenagers – and perhaps their college professors – will be at your door, demanding 50% of all your candy. And then they’ll burn down your house.
