BEWARE OF EQUALITY
I’m looking at some new postage stamps I bought. Underneath the flying flag each stamp says Liberty, Freedom, or Equality. What’s wrong Equality? The word Equality has a political meaning that is the opposite of Liberty and Freedom. The slogan of the French Revolution was Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. It was the focus on equality that beheaded the French King and Queen and hundreds of others, and lead to the rise of the dictator Napoleon Bonaparte.
There is no such thing as liberty, freedom and equality. By definition, liberty and freedom mean inequality of wealth, means, personal choices, traits, and so forth. Liberty and freedom mean one is free to choose his/her path in life. We are all equal under the Constitution, which protects our right to choose our way of life (and be responsible for the consequences of our choices).
We are NOT free to choose for others, to equalize incomes and wealth, to rob Peter to pay Paul, to force one group to support another, or to tax some in order to increase the income of others. This is socialism and communism. This is the true meaning of Equality. It leads to the extinguishing of freedom and liberty.
President Obama likes to use the word Equality often. He says his use of executive orders is to promote equality. He is knowingly misleading Americans into a false security if he thinks razing the middle class to poverty will achieve equality. The poor will still remain poor, and the middle class will join them. The new rich class will be government bureaucrats, czars, politicians, and those who side with the administration of injustice in the name of Equality.
The government is already spending billions of dollars it does not have. Someone will have to pay for it. Guess who? Those with the money,the middle class of course, are already paying higher taxes. All of us are being taxed and made poorer through inflation. Even the young who are just starting out are expected to pay for Obamacare. We are now witnessing the equalizing of the classes. Obamacare isn’t about health care. Its sole purpose is to rob from the haves to give to the have-nots, to support socialism and bigger government, and eventually lead to the nationalization of the health care industry, where everyone looses (except government).
Beware of Equality! It will lead the nation away from freedom into poverty and slavery, paving the way for a dictator.
