It is not fair that there is not universal access to Disney World. Many Americans will only be able to see Space Moutain looking through the fences that keep them out.
This is my analogy for the affordable care act.
As of today, the gatekeeper at Disney World is gone. You do not need to purchase a pass to enter the park. Since you can come and go as you please, you cannot be thrown out of the park.
So if you are a pick pocket or want to spray paint the walls, come right in. Since the front gate has no limit on how many people may come in, you may find that the lines to the rides get to be a bit long. If you’re worried about being shot, don’t. There is a “no guns” warning at the front non-gate.
Feel free to abuse the employees and ignore their instructions. Ride the roller coaster without the restraint system in effect standing up – when you fly out of the roller coaster, you can sue Disney World for not protecting you.
Some of you right wing Koch Brother loving TEA party types are probably going to whine now about Disney Corp and their so-called “property rights”. The collective cultural experience of Disney World is too important to be entrusted to a greedy, for profit corporation that doesn’t care about the poor. Don’t worry about them – capitalists are very good at finding new ways to make money. For instance, they could charge $100 a day for parking, and prohibit buses from dropping off people. Riding the Monorail into the park could cost $20. Maybe they could even sell off some of their land to companies to build a dump for nuclear power waste. Stop worrying.
Is it fair for wealthy to be allowed to visit Disney World today when less advantaged are not able to visit a local national park do to the government shutdown?
A 2.5% turnstile tax on all big corporation parks would allow the disadvantaged to visit their local national parks and allow the expansion of the national park systems.
There is really no reason we couldn’t hand out tents and turn national parks into affordable housing for the poor.
And thereby execute a progressive full circle back to 1933 with the CCC! 🙂
If we let them have guns and free fishing licenses for Asian carp, the food is just walking right by their front tent flap.
I wonder if anyone eats the Asian carp?
I hear that ‘snakefish’ is much more invasive. It wipes the whole eco-system.
I am kinda intrigued in going to Florida and hunting python for a new pair of boots. I think they pay a bounty too, Bonus !
The poor can have the snake meat. Sort of like ‘Hunters-for-the-Hungry’. I hear it taste like chicken.

Compelling the disadvantaged to live in national parks might lead to accusations of segregation. just sayin’
It could lead to “pole”-erizing tension from the the color of one’s tent skin.
