Free Market Economy

The only way to keep an economy working in the interests of the people is to keep it being run by the people. If the government takes control of the economy, it will be in the interest of those running the government. If we give those in government too much power, we will create something other than a free country.

There is no "New Economy." There are only two kinds of economy: Free-market, for and by the people, and Monarchy, interested in those in power. Some may claim that Socialism is another kind of government that is for the people. But Socialism can never be for the people because it gives all the power to the government and those in authority. Those in authority then use that power for their own interests and keep the people under subjection. Even in the rare occasion that a socialist elected into power tries to work in the interest of the people, they would fail for several reasons:
  1. No one person can know what is best for the whole.
  2. The economic system is too complex for one person to experiment with.
  3. Experimentation by one person trying to work in the interests of the whole is wrong, because experimentation on the whole is not in their interests.
  4. Giving the government too much power makes it an open target for power hungry people to come in. It is an open invitation for tyranny.
  5. Anyone hot-headed enough to think they know better than the people would easily forget the interests of those people.
  6. Socialism would take away the natural consequences of our bad actions, making it impossible for us to learn from them.
  7. The natural consequences in a free system are the most efficient teachers of morals.

The Socialist, Communist, Monarchy, and other systems have failed the people since the world began, and they will continue to do so. Because the only government FOR the PEOPLE is BY the PEOPLE, and is Freedom promoting because it encourages Consequences. There is no "new-economic order"; it is the same old lie it has always been.
