Today’s Tuesday’s Tip is, vote for freedom. Ironically, primary elections are being held today all across our great country. And, since politicians are in the business of soliciting your vote, you’ve undoubtedly received the mail, phone calls and possibly door knocks from those trying to earn your vote.
And, whichever politician does the best job at convincing you that they will redistribute your tax money into the best places, and give you the most free stuff, will usually get the most votes. Now I don’t think for a minute that most elected officials run for office their first time at least with that attitude. But I do believe that once they are there, it becomes quite evident.
You see, Uncle Sam understands that he can only survive with taxpayer money. Now if that’s all it took then on the surface that may sound okay… Until you realize that it takes 3 – 4 government workers to do what any individual could on their own.
Government jobs aren’t cheap. There are buildings, energy and equipment to keep it all running. And, of course the bureaucracy of it all.
As children we are taught that government protects our life, liberty and property, but could some laws actually hurt us and take away our freedom?
We’re made to believe that all government agencies are needed to support us and provide safe and civil places for us to live. And, that our taxes are just the necessary evil to support these agencies.
“Life, liberty and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life liberty and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.”
Frederic Bastiat, The Law
Declare Liberty and Limited Government
It’s hard to imagine that our society would vote to live in a place with less freedom and privacy, but even as we’re told we are more safe, our human rights are deteriorating before our eyes.
People can no longer live without fear of being watched, recorded and having their privacy invaded at every turn. We can no longer board planes without going through a myriad of security and possibly even being strip searched.
The very idea of private roads and water systems is all but a fantasy even though we have a history of both. We no longer accept the belief that private healthcare based on free markets can work, yet we somehow believe that a government controlled system is better, even though they have created the problems to begin with.
People have accepted our central bank as all knowing and wise, even though our dollar’s value has been destroyed since the Federal Reserve was created.
The Problem with Government
I could go on, but time and space are limited in this message. Our freedom is at stake, and that is the problem.
Somehow, we as a people have been convinced that freedom is unequal, unjust and unfair.
To understand the problem one must simplify the equation. We must embrace the idea of cause and effect. We have to understand that government can not solve our problems, only exacerbate them.
Our personal economics can not be trampled by worldly economics. God’s economy shall govern as it has since the beginning of time.
That’s it for today. If you’d like to learn more about how you can protect your freedom, just let me know.
You can develop a safe financial strategy for retirement. A plan that protects your family and does not involve the government.
