There
is one problem with central governmental planning…IT DOESN’T WORK. For all
those that extoll its efficiency, the merits of uniformitarian, and that only a
central body of elite politicians know what is best for the rest of the
country, you need look no further than the Olympics in Sochi to understand that
you are incorrect. Remember, Sochi is supposed to be an example of the best
Russia has to offer to the world. If this is their best, I’m hesitant to see
their worst:
If
you enjoy both yellow snow and water, I have the place for you:
And
this is the best hotel Sochi could provide:
Though
the pictures are finite, the message they show is endless. Central governmental
planning is a failure. Only through free enterprise do people work their
hardest and compete with one another to produce the best product or service.
You think the above pictured hotel would have ever survived in a capitalistic
society? Of course not. It would have went out of business shortly after its
opening.
The
more our government stifles free business, makes it more difficult to run a
business and takes away our incentives to grow a business, the quicker our
country will begin to look more and more like Russia. Don’t fool yourselves.
The more rules and regulations the government makes, the more civil liberties
it takes, and the more involved it becomes in your lives, the quicker our
country heads further towards economic collapse.
I’m
no anarchist, but I do warn, just like our forefathers, a limited government is
the best government. We’ve forgotten what they taught us. Unfortunately, if we
continue to go down the path we are headed, it may be too late to restore the
country to how it was intended to be.
