From its
beginnings in 1620, the US was founded to produce maximum economic freedom
based on free market principles with the rule of law modeled from the Magna
Carta.
Individuals
and families had the right to pursue economic independence. The majority of the
migrants who came to settle in the American Colonies were devout Christians. They
created communities that reflected their best understanding of Biblical
principles. They knew that tolerance must be earned.
Those who
exemplified Judeo-Christian principles were the role models. Those who were not
were dealt with by their families and neighbors. Some were “invited” to leave
these communities.
The
Louisiana Purchase of 1804 gave US citizens another opportunity to move to
settle Western territories for more freedom, danger and opportunity. Those who
were less adventurous stayed in the East. This also gave our “black sheep” a
place to escape and try to succeed.
In a free
society, economic freedom in a free market economy is the most important right.
Personal freedom should be allowed to the extent that this freedom does not
encroach on the freedom of others. When government redistributes wealth, it is
violating economic freedom. When it outlaws free speech complaints, it is
violating personal freedom. Government has no business giving away free stuff
with taxpayer money or telling people how to behave.
Our
current “open borders” policies have flooded the labor market with excessive
numbers of foreign workers. This has
resulted in 94 million working-age US citizens without jobs. This is a violation of our economic
freedom. Political correctness
establishes the foundation of policies that will end free speech. This is a
violation of our personal freedom.
The US
government is guilty of ignoring the rules of common sense. Our correct assertion that “all men are
created equal” was inconsistent with continuing to allow slavery. You can’t
have both. Our US politicians set up a campaign finance scheme that is inconsistent
with their responsibility to represent the voters. They don’t.
Later the US government wanted welfare programs and open borders. You can’t have both. Now, it is clear that politicians who work
for their campaign contributors pass unconstitutional laws that don’t reflect
the will of the people and Communist government employees write the regulations
afterwards. They can’t do that.
