Collective Theocracy

[Steve Stuck]

Funny watching the country go through a small wave of collectivism while you believe in Individualsim. Individualsim is the heart of what drives my political/social thought process. In todays climate, many hang on to the failing notion that somehow when we all band together on say social spending programs, everything will just be alright. I myself look at collectivism from a historical context and its ultimate failing. People themselve are born to be free and do their thing. That is what makes the American culture so great, until one group says were better then the rest through the force of government.

Many people in this country have worked very hard for what they got. They have played by the rules of self governance and made something of themselves. Many times along the road of life things haven't gone their way, but they picked themselves up and moved along. Some have started a business and failed but then gone back at it again. Other have been very loyal to their place of employment and have been rewarded very nicely because they stuck it out through the bad times. Individuals have set up their private investments and have obtained "nice" things through sacrifice or have invested much time and effort into their legacy known as children so they are much better off.

Now individualists are being told that it was all wrong. We are collective body of "shared sacrifice" and those who do not have what you enjoy deserve a piece of your pie. Don't buy it for a second nor be embarassed with what you have earned. Your financial achievements in life done the right way are that of yours, not a group of leaders designating themselves self annointed gods of prosperiorty. That is the problem with collective thought process and why it never works out, there is never enough money/property to satisfy collectivist to right what they believe is wrong. Their belief system only makes liberty and economic freedom that much more unachievable.

Every nation goes through turmoil where defending its belief system is tested. The same is playing out right now in the US. The US was not set up to be a "democratic process" so only a few could dictate law, but a Republic of Individuals to roam free in economics and social settings. Enemies of the US do not come in the military anymore, but that of breaking down individualist settings and demeaning our past history to achieve their goals.

Go ahead save the planet, the poor or mess with economics through collective legislation. The invidual always screws up the desired outcome by showing what they really want.
