As best as I understand things, although we should choose to love/serve God as our heavenly King, we each are (or should be) sovereign with respect to our fellow mortals, and we can (and should) establish governments in bottom-upward fashion to help us to defend our innate (God-given) rights from each other (rather than seek to arrogantly run society), so that we may work out the rest amongst ourselves as equals in a free society. Interacting contractually (via mutual voluntary informed consent) as equals, rather than aggressively as tyrants-and-slaves, is not only the right way to conduct business (since oppression is evil), but its also the best way, since economic transactions wont occur unless they benefit BOTH parties. Also, genuine free markets tend to naturally foster other desirable qualities like innovation and efficiency and effectiveness, economic prosperity, material abundance, and a rising standard-of-living with ever-more disposable income for everyone. By contrast, as governments increasingly abandon rights-defense to manipulate and/or control economies, regardless of the nobility of their alleged motives, they tend to achieve the opposite, no matter how fervently their officers may promise otherwise. For example, Americas federal government, which ought to focus on rights-defense rather than economic control, has repeatedly intervened to improve Americas health-care system for several decades now, but each such intervention has only worsened it, instead, and Americas new fascistic health-care system (known as Obamacare) now seems poised to continue this trend, despite repeated fair promises otherwise. And what else should we expect from a system that compels people to do unwanted business, both by demanding that patients buy unwanted coverage and by demanding that insurers cover unwanted patients? We would do better both to set our neighbors free and to advocate philanthropy. Heres a recent blog entry by my associate Connor Boyack about the innate injustice of such economic oppression. What are your thoughts about compelling people to transact business against their will for the common good? Isnt loving persuasion, coupled with respect for others rights, a better way?
