What's with the "Czar" titles?

I remember the first time an Old Russian title of commander was given to an American public official was when I understood “The War on Drugs” and the resulting “Drug Czar.”

Even at the age of 12 – 13 years old, I knew the contradiction that the name “Czar” on an AMERICAN official implied. It would be like an elected KING!

Why “Czar”? Why not “Highly Exalted and Lawfully Untouchable Public Servant?” Isn’t that the same thing? Does it not rightfully convey the same message?

And now, with all the new recessionary programs enacted we have the following: Health Czar, Bank Czar, and the latest from the WSJ is a Pay Czar!

At want point do we stop being CITIZENS and start being COMRADES?!

The Feral Capitalist is feral for a reason. The overwhelming message to the public is one of negating personal responsibility in exchange for a welfare state that will make all the decisions for you. Unbelievably, more and more of my fellow citizens are willing to stop thinking and hand their right to fail/succeed to Uncle Sam.

But but what is wrong with that?

Follow the logic is all you have to do. If a person wants to ignore the risk of failure in life, then they must also ignore the benefits of success. You can’t have it BOTH ways!

You can’t have your cake and eat it too!
