The bigger the government, the worse the government. The more powerful the government, the worse the government. The more the government taxes and regulates -- the more it spends and controls -- the worse the government. That government which guides and directs us -- unifies and leads us -- is that government which destroys us.
All these recent government "bail-outs," "rescues," "recovery packages," and "stimulus programs," are machetes thrust directly into the heart of the economy. All are heartless and brutal backstabs of the society and the nation. All of them devastate our businesses, finances, lifestyles, and civilization.
It's almost too horrific to think about, but Big Brother is on the loose again. The world evidently hasn't learned a thing over the last century and a half since the publication of The Communist Manifesto. Hyper-evil Marx and Keynes are once again our political and economic ideals. The ghastly mid-20th century era of Stalin, Hitler, and Mao is returning.
Government "help" from Bush in 2008 and Obama in 2009 has savaged the country. Future plans, packages, and programs from Leviathan threaten to turn a two-year Great Recession into a lingering, Japanese-style 10- or 20-year Depression.
The current misunderstanding and hatred of laissez-faire, capitalism, economic freedom, and individual liberty is just about total. The current misunderstanding and love of welfare statism and Big Government tyranny is just about total. The hope for the future -- under today's almost universal support for major action by Big Brother -- is just about zero.
The toilet will flush in November!
Well, let's hope! But who are the libertarian Republicans and conservatives we can legitimately have hope in?
It’s ‘The Liberal Institute.’
That's true. But I've thought about adding a new subsite there called www.classical.liberalinstitute.com in order to be a bit more user-friendly and avoid some confusion.
