WASHINGTON – Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said he chose to run for the Senate because of the passage of Obamacare, which he called the “greatest assault on our freedom in my lifetime.”
Johnson, who owns a small business in Oshkosh, told the Atlas Society, a D.C.-based think tank, that he believes Americans are like a bunch of frogs in a pot of water.
“The pot of water is being brought up to a boil. I think we’re losing freedoms across the board,” Johnson said.
According to the senator, there are two tipping points that the American people must be wary of: the financial tipping point and the cultural tipping point.
The financial tipping point, he explained, is when the debt crisis hits a point where world creditors will look at the U.S. and no longer loan it any money.
He considers the cultural tipping point to be the dependency and entitlement mentality to which many Americans have fallen victim.
“When we shift to a culture where people are just saying, ‘I’m happy to sit back and let the government provide me with things,’ that becomes a very dangerous point in time for this country,” Johnson said.
