The Conservative Sees In The Free Market

In The Civil Society, The Individual Is Recognized And Accepted As More Than An Abstract Statistic Or Faceless Member Of Some Group; Rather, He Is A Unique, Spiritual Being With A Soul And A Conscience.

When The Statist Makes A Wrong Decision, Its Impact Is Far-reaching, For He Uses The Power Of Government To Impose His Decision On As Many Individuals And Businesses As Possible, Which Distorts The Free Market Itself.

Consequently, Citizen Legislators, Rotating Back To Their Communities After A Short Period Of Public Service—considered An Indispensable And Routine Characteristic And Design Of Representative Government At The Time Of The Founding, And For A Century Thereafter—have Been Replaced With A Professional Ruling Class Led By Governing Masterminds. For The Most Part, They Are Isolated From The Communities From Which They Hail And Are Consumed With The Daily Jockeying For Position And Power Within Their Ranks. Moreover, They Both Pander To And Lord Over Their Constituents.

In The Free Market, A Man Born Into Wealth Or Who Has Otherwise Acquired Great Riches Can Lose His Fortune Depending On How He Chooses To Behave. Conversely, A Man Born Into Poverty Or Who Has Lost Wealth Once Obtained Can Acquire A Fortune, Depending, Again, On How He Chooses To Behave.

The Free Market Promotes Self-worth, Self-sufficiency, Shared Values, And Honest Dealings, Which Enhance The Individual, The Family, And The Community. It Discriminates Against No Race, Religion, Or Gender.
