Interprete
d that way, Constituti
onally derived "general welfare" could be used to justify socialism far beyond what we have already experience
d; that would be another blow to free enterprise as far as I am concerned.
It isn't "supply side" or conservati
sm, or liberalism that ruins societies, it's the ideology that drives the thinking that it's OK to punish success in order to drive social programs, that successful people have an "obligatio
n" to contribute "more."
Result? Creation of more and more poor and minorities that "game" the system; pushed into the process by government
's failure to support people-Cit
izens- in seeking personal success through personal effort. Whereas a personal responsibi
lity, community consciousn
ess-driven
, family values system motivates everybody to participat
e, push for personal opportunit
y.
What is lacking is the ability of some to see that "giving a man a fish feeds him for a day; teaching him to fish feeds him and his family forever."
We need more fishermen.
What's at issue is the philosophy that says government can do it better than private enterprise
. The evidence is far and away that private enterprise wins, each and every time.
And it would work even better, if the Constituti
onally-dev
eloped and anchored government functions of oversight and support would actually do it's job of creating level playing fields through transparen
cy in regulation and promoting-
forcing- competitio
n.
Govenrment CANNOT do it better, and taking away the path to personal success though dis-incent
ives to work, and learn, are at fault.
