All attempts to limit competition are crimes against liberty. Tax and regulation always should be minimized. “Public” services should be privatized whenever possible. Unions should be limited or banned outright because they create market distortions that keep the rightful winners down and elevate those who should be the losers. Inequality is virtuous. Inequality rewards usefulness. It incentivizes wealth creation, which benefits everyone because it enables job creators to emerge. Thus, all efforts to create a “more equal” society create more poverty and are morally wrong.

The market is the mechanism that ensures people get what they actually deserve. Less government, more liberty should always be the mantra of the conservative movement. If people are destined to fail, we need to let them fail. Only by doing that can we ensure that the virtuous have the liberty, incentives and resources to succeed. If we tax and punish success and reward sloth, we will have less success and more sloth.

Liberal meddling over the past 100 years has brought us nearly to ruin. The tenements, slums and poverty of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were a problem only in that they were exploited by communist demagogues to undermine the success of America. The ability of free, deserving people to become rich was, paradoxically, greater during those days than now.

The solution to all of our problems is to recreate the liberty that made us great. We also have to return to the idea that, if people are poor, it’s not our role to “do something about it.” The proper response is for poor people to do something for themselves, with their own abilities, resources and initiative.
