It is essential that we understand not just parties but principles as we go to the polls in a few weeks - redistribution of wealth from those who produce it to those who do not is not only bad for the country, but such a policy strips man of his dignity and therefore constitutes not just bad policy, but evil policy. It is completely at odds with the guiding principle of our Declaration of Independence, which is man's liberty to pursue his own happiness. Fostering dependence replaces the blessing of liberty with the shackles of enslavement. Our form of government correctly recognized the dignity of the individual, while restraining government as the power to be kept in check. Government dependence as a matter of policy wrongly elevates the state as the benevolent patriarch, while denigrating the worth of the individual. It is unAmerican at its core.
