Freedom and Property
On my way into work today, I heard an ad for someone running for election to the Charlotte City Council this year:
We have to guard against uncontrolled growth
There's the difference between conservatives and socialists. The person who said that honestly believes that you and I have no right to ownership of property. This person serious thinks that it is HIS job to decide what you or I may or may not build on land that we have paid for. He honestly believes that he, with the power of government, owns all the land and all rights to land. That's wrong. That's anti-freedom. That is the very definition of communism and socialism -- the government owns everything and the government will determine what happens, where, and when. That is in direct opposition to conservative values and the ideas of the founders of this country. And strangely enough, the person who placed that ad calls himself a Republican. The candidate is Pat Mumford, a current city council member who represents Wachovia bank on the council (not the people). He will very likely be re-elected and the socialist climate will continue in Charlotte. I wish there was a viable political party for those who love freedom.
