Dear Socialist

Dear Socialist,

I don't think so. If our creator had intended Socialism, he'd have taken one of us aside, and to that person he would have given the entire supply of freedom and equality--with instruction to divvy with judgement.

For reasons that seem obvious, however, he chose instead to endow every single one of us--without exception or favor. Is there one among you who is bold enough to decree that our Creator has made a mistake--one who is worthy enough that we should abandon him and follow you?

Endowed by my Creator with freedom and equality, I have a responsibility to revere and protect what was entrusted to me. Whether submitted freely, or another wrestles this responsibility away from me, I am no longer free but shackled. I am no longer equal but subordinate. My reaction to shackles and subordination is so adverse, that I have no doubt I was meant to be free and equal. We were all meant to be so, and you will fall hard trying to pry these from our hands.

And my brother? I have always taken care of him. I have done so by feeding him when he was hungry, keeping him warm when he was cold, directing him when he was lost, and most importantly by respecting his god-given right to pursue happiness.

Stop pretending to be his keeper. Stop pretending that your agenda has anything at all to do with my brother. You are the enemy of my brother and our liberty--and I am watching you. The truth is you seek power because you are afraid of my freedom. It is because you are threatened by equality--that you are bent on control. You want more than the freedom and equality that God gave you. You want mine too. Well you can't have it!

I won't be taken in by militant wolves in altruistic clothing. If for my brother you fight, prove it. Take not one dollar more for yourself than that which you need to feed and clothe yourself. Tax yourself on the excess at 100%---and give it to my brother. Otherwise, it is not my brother for whom you have such high regard, but for yourself. Take your hands off my freedom and my equality--and put your money where your mouth is.

Sincerely,

A Freedom Lover
