PROMISE #4: Secure our God-given individual rights to enjoy. "the blessings of liberty.”
When the founders spoke of "pursuit of happiness" what they meant might be understood today as in essence "pursuit of Blessedness."… this pursuit of the good life is found primarily in family… Many find happiness through their work…Religious devotion and spirituality are the greatest sources of happiness around the world.
The American Republic was founded on principles prioritizing, and maximizing individuals rights ... It's this radical equality – liberty for all – not just rights, but of authority – that the rich and powerful have hated about democracy in America since 1776... it's this inalienable right of self direction – of each person's opportunity to direct himself or herself, and his or her community, to the good – that the ruling class disdains. Left to our own devices, the American people rejected European monarchy and colonialism, just as we rejected slavery, second-class citizenship for women, mercantilism, socialism and wokeism.
And the next conservative President should champion the dynamic genius of free enterprise against the grim miseries of elite-directed socialism. The promise of socialism—Communism, Marxism, progressivism, Fascism, whatever name it chooses—is simple: Government control of the economy can ensure equal outcomes for all people. The problem is that it has never done so. There is no such thing as “the government.” There are just people who work for the government and wield its power and who—at almost every opportunity—wield it to serve themselves first and everyone else a distant second. This is not a failing of one nation or socialist party, but inherent in human nature. For socialists, who are almost always well-to-do, socialism is not a means of equalizing outcomes, but a means of accumulating power. They never get around to helping anyone else. in countries with a high degree of economic freedom, elites are not in charge because everyone is in charge. People work, build, invest, save, and create according to their own interests and in service to the common good of their fellow citizens. There is a reason why the private economy hews to the maxim “the customer is always right” while government bureaucracies are notoriously user-unfriendly, just as there is a reason why private charities are cheerful and government welfare systems are not.
The next President should promote pro-growth economic policies that spur new jobs and investment, higher wages, and productivity. Yes, that agenda should include overdue tax and regulatory reform, but it should go further and include antitrust enforcement against corporate monopolies. It should promote educational opportunities outside the woke-dominated system of public schools and universities, including trade schools, apprenticeship programs, and student-loan alternatives that fund students’ dreams instead of Marxist academics. Just as important as expanding opportunities for workers and small businesses, the next President should crack down on the crony capitalist corruption that enables America’s largest corporations to profit through political influence rather than competitive enterprise and customer satisfaction.
