A few thoughts
by Theresa Camoriano
1. Does it not occur to the President that the reason he is not getting the money to pay public employees is that his excessive regulations, plus Obamacare, plus all the uncertainty he creates are making it very difficult for private businesses to generate wealth? Does he take the wealth-creation of private businesses for granted and think they will thrive and grow no matter what obstacles he puts in their path? If so, he is very wrong.
2. What is the difference between the government taking over ownership of property and the government taxing the owner and preventing the owner from using the property? Thomas Sowell has said that when the government takes ownership, as in pure socialism, at least it can’t blame anyone else for its failure. On the other hand, when it leaves the title in someone else’s name while having control over the use of the property, it can blame someone else for its failures. How convenient.
3. We know what government should be doing in order for the country to prosper. Free market policies have worked every time they have been tried throughout history, and big government always has weighed down and harmed the economy. So how can the people who keep choosing the failed “big government” policies consider themselves to be so smart and consider those who choose the free market to be so stupid?
