Private Property Rights and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky

Here is another great example of government enthusiasts assuming their false premises. The Drudge Report linked to this article on WLSAM written by John Dempsy. He transcribes the interview between Don Wade and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky. Here is what she had to say:

“I’ll put it this way. You don’t deserve to keep all of it and it’s not a question of deserving because what government is, is those things that we decide to do together. And there are many things that we decide to do together like have our national security. Like have police and fire. What about the people that work at the National Institute of Health who are looking for a cure for cancer,” Schakowsky said.

Spoken like a person who loves government. Notice how she offers the proper roles of government in order to justify her illogical link to what government is not empowered to do.

Isn't it always the first thing government officials cry about when getting supposed budget cuts that we will lose Firemen and Policemen? Yet we never hear about government bureaucrats getting the axe, do we? Of course notice how she links police to health care. She just ASSUMES that health care is government's responsibility. Never once does she ever try to justify that position because she lives in a world where that just is and anything other than that is wrong. Why? Because it just is.

So why does the political Left think this way? The answer is obvious to those who know a little about American history and Western Civilization. American freedom and liberty is founded on one major principle...private property rights. The political Left does not believe in liberty. They certainly abhor private property rights that under-gird the American system as seen in the Constitution.

In case you think the political Right is much better, you better think twice. Front Runner Gov. Perry from Texas has no problem with being a dictator in the name of being a good government official. Remember, he had the audacity to force girls to receive vaccinations by governor fiat. Now whether you agree with him or not or whether you agree the vaccinations are good or not is not the issue. The fact Perry thinks he has this kind of power should scare us all. We have seen Obama exercise it to a degree. But is Obama doing anything Bush didn't do? No.

Again, this is another shameless plug for Ron Paul. He is the only person that actually desires to return to a Constitutional form of government.
