During the 2012 U.S. presidential election, the Obama campaign released the Life of Julia, a slideshow which chronicled the life of a woman as she lived off of the cradle-to-grave welfare state. This year she encounters the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Future during her night of redemption. As she comes face-to-face with the unseen victims of her selfishness, she finally realizes that government has no money of its own but can only take from one person what belongs to them in order to give it to others to whom it does not belong. The government cannot perform an act of charity without first stealing from someone else; it cannot help some without sacrificing others on the altar of electoral greed.
