My position is that up until 1865 or so, some blacks in America were slaves, but that was as far as it went.
Today, all Americans are slaves to the government. Black, white, rich, poor. No one is free. The government owns us all.
We need to change that.
It’s not just freedom to succeed, you need freedom to fail too to have a robust economy. Our biggest problem is that those who strive most for success are stripped of their earnings to subsidize the outcomes of the poor decisions of those who SHOULD fail.
Somebody has to make money so the government can steal it and take a cut and give it to the stupid and lazy.
Just stop and think how overwhelming the government has become in the last 40 years.
The amount of sheer capital it has tied up and removed from the private sector.
However, pursuing happiness and enjoying the blessings of liberty has always meant spiritual prosperity within the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms.
The American Dream has never meant disfiguring and crippling the concept of promoting the general welfare into the spreading of government largess. It does not mean government ensuring the protection of home values, college funds, retirement accounts, savings, executive severance packages, affordable healthcare, homeownership, lifetime employment, corporate wealth, political careers, and union benefits.
In every case politicians now become patricians offer enchanting elements of material security such as described above, while obscuring subservience to rules vastly increasing their power. Their legislation routinely attacks our Bill of Rights confiscating freedoms for apparitions of material prosperity.
