It says something about the dismal state of affairs in our country today, when you look at what outrages folks...
Where is the outrage about the ease with which politicians expropriated hundreds of billions of taxpayers' funds to do these bailouts?
...
The more secure private property is in a given country, the more prosperous it is. Countries rated in the top 25 percent in secure and safe private property have on average nine times more income per person than those in the bottom 25 percent...
The easier it is to steal in any given country, the less likely the economy will function well there.
You really don't need a fancy business degree to predict this. One of the Ten Commandments, transmitted so many thousands of years ago, instructs us not to steal...
Yet basic truths such as this are becoming increasingly lost in our country, and this is what should be driving our outrage: that we now live in a country where our private property is no longer safe and the very government that supposedly exists to protect it has become the thief we have to worry about...
We can recall that the founders of our country intended the role of government to protect our lives and property, not violate them. And that, in times when we have respected that proper use of government, our country has prospered.
Legalized theft in America
