The Gullibility of the Governed.
by Edward J. Williamson
"Almost 220 years ago, our founding fathers embarked upon their quest to create an independent nation, a nation in which individuals would be free to prosper according to their abilities, initiative, and self-discipline without the previous requirements of inherited entitlements so endemic to European societies of the eighteenth century; a society in which one need not be born to privilege in order to enjoy a life of plenty, but rather a society where one could create his own opportunities through individual effort, ingenuity, initiative, and achievement; a society in which free and independent citizens could celebrate the results of their efforts, become successful, accumulate wealth, and fairly enjoy the fruits of their own labors. The founding fathers also understood that the greatest threat to individual achievement and the smooth functioning of a fair and free society was government, specifically a strong centralized government such as the one they fought against and set about separating from."
