Question, does this sound familiar?
Problems can be solved by issuing laws, setting up more bureaus, more regulation, and adding more taxes to pay for these.
Or this? We see the common people in perpetual poverty, excessive taxation, stringent regulations and continuous existence of misery.
The Founding Fathers explicitly warned us about the wrongs of collectivism, over taxation and many other things that most of the people know nothing about. They wanted to make sure that there was an enlightened electorate, in other words We, the People, so that we can keep the values and Laws of the Constitution the way they were set. These cause the people to abandon their rights and freedoms with the understanding that the government will take care of us from the time we are born to the time we die. Many will say, so what? The answer is very simple, it is not only wrong to think that others know better of our situation than we do ourselves or that others deserve to have what some have by taking it from them and giving it to those that have not. It is not only wrong thinking, but Unconstitutional and against Natural Law. Thomas Jefferson warned against over burden forced taxation, redistribution for the “common” good and deficit spending. The Founding Fathers also warned against the pooling of properties and goods, for the common of all. I will touch more on this later.
Since we are on the subject of Natural Law, why is it that is never taught in public schools or even in Law schools though the whole of the country is based on this Natural Law? Why, indeed. It is very simple reasoning, and used throughout history by many Dictators and oppressive governments:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Simply stated, if you keep lying to the people, the lie will believe, and therefore the truth is irrelevant and the lie becomes the whole of the truth. The above quote was from Joseph Goebbels, Chief Propagandist of Nazi Germany. So good was he at his job, that most of Germany believed they were crushing the allies even up to the time that Berlin fell. The only non-believers, were those in power, Hitler’s inner circle.
The Founding Fathers knew that the only stable government of the people would be the one that knew the truth, were taught the truth and exercised the truth. They held the truth and our unalienable rights to be self-evident, but knew they also had to be taught, for if not people would fall away. The Natural Law is all over the writings of the Founding Fathers though it mystifies many, but is very simply based on two principles. Though the Founding Fathers were of many different beliefs and practices of God, and would debate many points on this subject, they all did agree that the creator’s law, or natural law was supreme and which should guide this new nation. On this law is based the whole of the American Constitution, and the two great commandments as stated in the bible when Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment, “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind.” But Jesus continued, “the second greatest commandment is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Digest this for a moment. The founding fathers, with their basic beliefs in God and the bible, set forth what they felt would be the blueprint for a society that would live in the Natural Law. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights list the unalienable rights granted by the creator, to ALL men, equally. The only problem is that man, always think they know better than the Natural Law, and legislate wrong laws that go against God and human nature of freedom.
