Freedom For You

I want this blog to be a modern Magna Carta, from the 1215 event which gave some rights to individuals.

Rockefeller Foundation Survey

Well, there you have it. The generation Y ers will get more socialism, or fascism, whatever you want to call it. Imagine that. After socialism has been proven a failure for thousands of years, people are still lured to it as the best way to insure their genes survive. We could say the lure is a result of the average IQ of the American voter, except it has been a lure for eons, long before democracy existed. The market will find efficiency.

These people who want government to somehow control labor misses the point that liberty is about unregulated labor, not controlled and central planned labor. http://praxeology.net/GM-LTS-I.htm

The good news, 80% believe they must be responsible for their financial security. (Even Obama made a speech about individual responsibility.)

But the idea that the government is the problem solver ignores the value of individual responsibility, for which 80% of those surveyed approve.

4. Americans are calling for new solutions. Americans want to work hard and improve their family’s economic standing (80% believe they must be responsible for their financial security), but they are also calling out for a hand-up, rather than a hand-out, and are asking for new products and policy solutions to reinforce their efforts: 70% say more government programs should help those struggling due to current economic conditions. Americans support major government investments that create jobs – including public-works projects (82%), new measures to improve energy efficiency (84%), and initiatives to expand access to high-quality health care (77%). Americans also favor investments that make it easier for people to work – for example, paid family leave (68%) and government funded child care (66%).

The Rockefeller Foundation was established in 1913 by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., to "promote the well-being" of humanity by addressing the root causes of serious problems. With assets of more than $4 billion, the Foundation supports work around the world to expand opportunities for poor or vulnerable people and to help ensure that the benefits of globalization are more widely shared.
