Liberty, Freedom, America

When the Founding Fathers endeavored to write the Constitution, they studied all governments

of the world and were knowledgeable about failed governments throughout history. A govern-

ment of the people, by the people and for the people was a radical concept for the time, and it

was not without experiment (Articles of Confederation) that our Founders came up with a work-

able system for our Republic.

The concept of democracy is often admired by our people and our politicians; it is however

important to understand our government is not a true democracy, and very well it is not. Mob

tyranny was a great fear for our Founders and to insure basic rights were guaranteed to all

American citizens a paper was drafted to be the ultimate law of our land, the United States

Constitution.

Our government system and our economic system are based upon the capitalist idea that any individual should be able to

travel as far as his “virtue, accomplishment, and character” should take him. In business and in government it is excellence

which must reign supreme to realize success.

There is often heated and obstreperous debate over “fairness” in America. That some have so much, while others have so

little, is cause for legal wrangling, political posturing and epithets ung from every direction. If government is obliged to be

arbiter of outcomes, deciding who should have what, can government also be arbiter of inputs? And what happens when

inputs decrease because government has arbitrarily decided those with the greatest inputs have acquired too much? Whose

job does government eliminate when its policies convince those with high inputs to do less?

There are individuals in society who desire to accomplish little, and so have little to show for their existence. These darlings of

the left are paraded out for all of us to see, evidence of our systems prejudice and inherent “unfairness”.

Schemes and strategies devised by the left to ostensibly help these hapless and lazy soles do nothing to improve their position.
