All healthy developmental influences from infancy to competent maturity enhance both individual autonomy and mutuality with others. Acquiring occupational and social skills in preparation for adult living in a free society is central to that development. Competence in these areas permits the achievement of individual self-responsibility and a necessary basis for voluntary economic and social cooperation.
Big government, liberal mentality, and invasive social policies, however, foster economic irresponsibility, pathological dependency, and social conflict (and name calling by some of the more infantile posters here at Patrick.net).

Ellie “infantile?â€
I think it's cute the way you write my name and add to it every time.
Free enterprise embodies the values that made us the greatest nation on earth. Values such as individual liberty, equal opportunity, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance.
Unfair distribution of wealth is caused by government distortion of the free market. Indeed the recent economic crisis has further distorted our values and given a small minority who oppose freedom and free enterprise a pretext for making sweeping social(istic) change. Change which includes expanding bureaucracies, increasing income redistribution, less freedom, the loss of individual rights, more taxes, and government controlled corporations...not a pretty picture.
HOPE and CHANGE is really doublespeak for HOPE and CHAINS.

It is paper money, created out of thin air that creates the unfair distribution of wealth that is making the middle class fall behind and the poor more poor. Newly created money, and credit in a paper money system benefits those that can access the money first and buy capital goods and real property at one price before the new money circulates and makes all prices go up. Wages do not keep up with inflation and that creates yet another squeeze on the middle class.
