The case for a fair government

[Robert Millward]

I often consider the state of England in the early industrial age. People who wound up living in the cites worked long hours away from their families just to get by. Women who had to work were exposed to every insult from business owners. Children were force into labor right along with adults (or replaced them) and were also subject to every insult.

The common denominator is that the wealthy do not need the average man. They can maintain and increase their wealth without them. This is where our Founding Fathers came in. They intentionally built a government based on fairness where the average man had a chance at a good living; not just the pittance provided by England. A government which is not built on fairness will not provide a good living to the average man.

As our government drifts (or spirals) away from being fair, we begin to look like the uncaring England of the early industrial age. The wealthy don't care if our government is unfair. They can buy what they can and move off-shore as needed. They do not owe us anything and, if taxed enough, will simply move assets. Interestingly enough, this is even worse than the situation in England where the companies needed the King to ensure their success.

Within any nation there is always a group who can manipulate crisis and chaos to their advantage. Today we call them liberals but they are the same by any name. They are arrogant. They see their ideas as so good that the ideas should be forced on everyone. And they are willing to accept a huge payment for their goodness. A fair government prevents this group from being successful.

For these two very important reasons we must preserve our fair government. We must, for ourselves and of ourselves, preserve our government or live a near slave like existence.
