DOMINISM

Freedom = opportunity = incentive to produce goods and services others want = earn money = spend money as you choose for things you choose = enjoy a better lifestyle

Haitians, in the news these days, are poor and impoverished not because they are ignorant people (they aren't), not because they are lazy (they aren't), not because their country does not have resources to exploit (it does). They are poor because they have little, if any, freedom. And that is true for every freedom-suppressing country in the world.

In an historically short 234 years, America has become the richest, most powerful, most advanced country on the planet, not because we are have the best resources of any nation, or are physically stronger or mentally smarter, not because we feed off the plight of other nations, not because we dominate them, as some America haters would have you believe, but because we are among the freest. We have the best health care in the world (where do world leaders come for their critical health care needs?), some of the best educational centers in the world (where are the children of world leaders frequently sent for their education?), many of the most creative and inventive scientists in the world, because we are among the freest of nations.

Why does freedom work? Because it is the only environment suited to the universal nature of the human species...which includes our unique capacity to choose. Every government limitation, restriction, of our freedom violates our nature and is inappropriate for human life. Every single one. Since our nature is a universal one...all humans have it...our freedom does not, by definition cannot, include the denial of freedom to others, for if they are not entitled to it, neither are we.

Capitalism is the name given to the political system that supports freedom. Those who seek a better life for their people via any... any...other political system, whether it be some alleged socialism/freedom hybrid, or communism, or whatever, are dead wrong. And I use the word "dead" purposefully, for they are rejecting the only pro-life environment suitable for mankind and opting for a system that attacks human life. And history over and over again has proven that to be true.

Those, like many of today's Democrats,... who call for the redistribution of the wealth of the nation, from the more productive to the lesser productive, those who would require us to have health insurance whether we choose to have it or not, are attacking our nature. They seek to replace the natural equation above with an artificially, freedom violating equation of their own (need = entitlement = possession). Unfortunately, that well is not a bottomless one, it will very soon run dry, and history proves that to be true, as well.

The name "capitalism" has developed a bad reputation...perhaps because it includes the word "capital", which to most of the world means money...which, unfortunately, is considered evil by so many. The beauty of capitalism, that it embraces freedom, is not generally seen or appreciated. Accordingly, I suggest the name "capitalism" be changed to "dominism"...to be dominant over your domain, to govern your sovereign life.

Freedom is not just a nice sounding idea, it is not just another alternative. It is the only environment in which civilized prosperity and progress and true benevolence and humanity can and will thrive. The ONLY one.
