Needs....or....Rights!!!?
It is not the role of a leader to provide for your needs. His role is to protect
your rights so you can better care for yourself and family. Needs and rights
cannot co-exist. The former are to be provided only by individuals or private
organizations. The U.S. Constitution did not and does not grant charity powers
to the federal government. The Framers wanted to outlaw both fiat money and
"leveling". Socialism is a system of lying...and stealing to pay for the foolishness of others.
Leveling was a polite word for communism and the transfer of wealth earned by
person to one who has not earned it! They said it would corrupt both the people
and the government, and it has. So much is said by socialists of needs as
though they were rights. Life has its risks and no government in the world can
guarantee us against them.
Rights can be delegated to various levels of government for efficiency, but needs
cannot. The opposite occurs, making local matters more expensive and less
efficient. Division of government responsibilities between various levels of
government makes for better oversight and less expense. Efficiency requires a
division of labor to country,state, and federal levels. Problems need to be
solved at the level upon which they occur.
Healthcare is the prime example, and so much time and money is being
spent to sell the big lie that insurance is a right. We all have the need to
earn it, but we do not have the right to force our neighbor to provide for
healthcare, education, homes, or cars. Low character people always have their
needs.
At the family level, needs may be called wants. If wants or luxuries are
emphasized over basic needs, the budget will be out of balance and needs
unfulfilled. We used to be a government of rights, and more prosperous than any
other nation in the world. The fifth column "welfare-state" government of needs has lead to a
lower standard of living and has made us the greatest debtor nation in the
world.
At the beginning of the last century, we made up one sixth of the world population
and produced half of its goods. What happened? How about Fabian Socialism? Our colleges started teaching the economic principles of Karl Marx instead of Adam Smith.
Rights lead to Americanism and needs lead to Communism. The best way to balance
any budget is to balance your own. You cannot buy what you cannot afford or
print money to do so. That simple idea will keep state and federal budgets in
balance and give greater incentive for savings and business investment.
How did Daniel Boone and the pioneers ever settle this country without Barack
Obama and healthcare? They didn't force their risks onto their neighbors.
Rather than faith in government, they had faith in the Creator and their
God-given abilities. Until needs and rights are put in proper prospective, no
budgets will be balanced or debts paid off!!!
