Both good and evil ideas start with a vision.\u00a0\u00a0That vision promises to solve a problem we have.\u00a0\u00a0Politicians fit the same mold.<\/p>

How to differentiate?\u00a0\u00a0How do we tell if a vision is good or evil?\u00a0\u00a0And if evil sounds good in the beginning, what shall guide us\u00a0\u00a0to choose the right path?<\/p>\n

These issues have perplexed philosophers since the beginning of time.\u00a0\u00a0Each person must decide for himself.\u00a0\u00a0Fortunately, many great thinkers have pondered these profound ideas and many have written their revelations into books or carried them through the spoken word.<\/p>\n

Although the knowledge is readily available, it seems our Creator wants us each to find the answer to that question in our lifetime.\u00a0\u00a0The fact that our Creator wants each person to seek this answer gives rise to the fact that our Creator recognizes our individual nature and bestows certain rights upon each of us individually.\u00a0\u00a0This is the beginning of our nation, as expressed first in te Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s consider an example \u2014 for instance, communism and socialism.\u00a0\u00a0On the surface, Engels, Lenin, and Marx envisioned a future that helped the common man.\u00a0\u00a0Their mantra is the concept that all men are created equal (and they are), but outcomes should be enforced by a greater entity.\u00a0\u00a0Unfortunately, that greater entity was central-controlling politburos.\u00a0\u00a0Government or monarchy \u2014 what\u2019s the difference?\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s still a controlling entity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Communism uses euphemism like \u201ctogether,\u201d \u201ccollectivist,\u201d \u201cequity\u201d \u2014 nice concepts that fit our religious and moral heritage of noble cause.\u00a0\u00a0But look at the outcome, not surface rhetoric.\u00a0\u00a0Communism and socialism lead inexorably to control.\u00a0\u00a0They lead us away from individual freedom and liberty.\u00a0<\/p>

There is one economic system that fits the concept of individual freedom and the right to choose, that adheres to the concept upon which our nation was founded: the sanctity of the individual.\u00a0\u00a0That system is subsumed by the concept of fair trade: willing buyer, willing seller, without outside coercion.\u00a0\u00a0In other words, capitalism.<\/p>\n

Capitalism fits the founding concept of an individual and free choice.\u00a0\u00a0However, in order to function, capitalism must be free from federal restrictions, except the Rule of Law.\u00a0\u00a0Rule by regulation is just control by a bureaucrat in the administration.<\/p>\n

Capitalism is the exact opposite of cronyism.\u00a0\u00a0Cronyism is the unholy alliance of public and private entities to stifle competition.\u00a0\u00a0Cronyism uses the power of government to restrict free choice.\u00a0\u00a0This is the nature of our economy today.\u00a0\u00a0In other words, the left is correct in one sense: The economic system is rigged.\u00a0\u00a0Ironic that leftists complain about what they have done since President Wilson (D) created the bureaucratic monster that rules our lives today.\u00a0\u00a0To be fair, the Republicans, especially those who support big government, are no better.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s apply our principle (all men are endowed with life, liberty, and ownership) to the current state of our confusion.\u00a0\u00a0The differentiation is not R or D; the only choices are control through big government and individual freedom.\u00a0\u00a0Don\u2019t take anything on its surface; look more deeply into the consequences of the actions, and decide if they lead to freedom or enslavement.\u00a0<\/p>
