First low cost energy is the road to wealth, yet the left has done everything in their power to make energy expensive.

The best approach to any economy is a Laissez-faire one where the government has minimal involvement and certainly should not be setting price or wages. An open and free market place will do a better job.

No one is born with the ability and skills required to earn a living. At one time someone could freely enter into a working relations with a willing craftsman that in exchange for low pay the journeyman would teach them the craft. This is the first step is self sufficiency. I use the term craftsman but it could apply to any occupation. The left prohibits this practice in the name of protecting the “worker’ who now doesn’t have a way to reach the first step.

Race relations. The government should be non-discriminatory but it should not attempt to regulate how citizens relate to each other. A free citizens should be able to associate or not associate with anyone they please and the government should not use it power to force them to otherwise.

Welfare - The federal government has no business providing “charity” There was a time when charities were private, or church related. A County may have operated a Hospital but the government did not give money directly to individuals. Of course the left hate private charities because being local in the community they can separate the needy from the greedy.

Bottom line - we are in the mess we are in today simply because the left want “equity” not “equality”. Equality means every individual has a chance based on their natural ability, skills, knowledge and hard work to succeed. Equity means regardless of the ability or effort everyone gets the same thing (in short communism).

The left’s version of life is a utopia that can never exist simply because it goes against human nature and it is only through the power of the state that it can even be tried.

Excellent analysis.

What is truly disconcerting -- if not a little disappointing -- is, as evidenced by the behavior of free adults during the Fauci Flu debacle and as chronicled in his 1941 masterpiece "Escape from Freedom" by Erich Fromm, how many adult Americans actively support and believe in what the Democrat/Communist Party Left is doing -- and has planned -- for our Republic and for Liberty.

If only these people would stop and think about what they are doing and what the Left is doing to them ... but they don't. They "think" with their emotions.
