American history

On this day of Thanksgiving for the freedoms and ideals created in the American dream, be reminded, the original colonists in Jamestown and Plymouth both initiated a socialist communal system when they first landed.
They thought shared ownership and labor would be the ideal to build upon. They found what history has continually validated.... it doesnt work. The colonists with communal ownership the first year did not take ownership or individual responsibility for production. Not enough was produced and it failed.
The next year both colonies instituted free enterprise. Land was given to the individuals. They were responsible to produce what they needed. Each had ownership and responsibility for themself and what they owned. They produced more than enough under this system.
Our country was birthed with individual responsibility, property rights and free enterprise ... our economic foundation. Property rights provide the basis for individuals to pursue Happiness as stated in the constitution.
Property rights is not just owning land. Your property includes your ownership of your ideas, your labor/skills, and whatever those create/produce. You are free to exchange what you own in the market.
This is the basis of our free enterprise system that has built the worlds largest most productive economy. This is the core of the American Dream. You can be or do whatever you want if you work hard enough and pursue your dream. You own the results.
Wake up America...Our ideals are being lost. We began the slippery slide toward socialism almost 100 years ago as the state grew and government programs provided more and more handouts instead of encouraging ways people could work their way out with hand ups.
Government dependency has grown. The system of taxing the producers to provide for others is at its core creating a government dependent class.
When the incentive for free enterprise is removed by increased taxes or regulation on how or what you can do or produce you stifle and kill the fuel that drives the engine and it will sputter. Increase these disincentives and it will die. When more people are government reliant than self-reliant we are done.
Is this what you really want? Be THANKFUL for what you have with the greatest form of government and economic system ever devised. Fight to protect these ideals in the battle of ideas.
Learn the truth about our history and founding principles. These ideas have been fought and died for over the past 225+ years. Dont let ignorance and apathy lose what has been diligently protected.
