You have forgotten the God of your salvation and have not remembered the
rock of your refuge. (Isaiah 17:10)
So
liberals tell us, slap 70% tax on the rich — or even 90% as FDR did? This is
always self-defeating because such high tax rates curtail investment,
resulting in a reduction in business activity. And that, of course, means a
massive loss of jobs. This is one of the main reasons we're told that the economic
downturn in 1929 slid into The Great Depression.
Then there's the Socialist Congresswoman from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has dismissed all the concern about cost by simply proposing that we "print money." That is the prescription for a run-away inflation which would destroy the value of all savings.
The politics of greed is the inherent weakness of pure democracy. It will always end up destroying the democratic system.
Our Founding Fathers were very aware of this problem because they believed in the biblical view of Mankind — namely, that people are born with a sin nature and therefore cannot be trusted.
As we all know, they rejected monarchy. What is amazing is that they also rejected Oligarchy (the rule of the privileged, which is what is being practiced today). The reason that is remarkable is because most of them were aristocrats. But the point is that they did not even trust themselves. Nor did they believe in pure democracy because they did not trust the Common Man. They knew that pure democracy always evolved into mobocracy. This is the form of government of the Middle East!
So, they established a Representative Democracy whereby, hopefully, enlightened persons with high morals and great wisdom would be elected to represent the masses.
This is why they insulated the federal government from the direct vote of the people, and for good reason. They accomplished this by making only members of the House of Representatives eligible for direct election. Senators were appointed by state legislatures. And the President was selected by an Electoral College whose members were, in turn, selected in any manner a state might choose.
The "Progressives" want no barriers to "the will of the people," regardless of how perverted that will may be. So they are advocating the abolition of the Electoral College and a scheme to pack the Supreme Court with judicial activists who have no respect for our Constitution. This is why they want open borders and have it so that you do not need to be a citizen of the U.S. to vote.
"Power to the people!" That's the politically correct cry of today. It sounds so good, but it results in horrors like the French Revolution because there is no magical goodness in the people or in the majority vote.
The question looming before the American electorate is whether or not we are willing to sell our souls and our freedoms for "free stuff." I believe we are.
Keep in mind that in the last presidential election, the future of our nation — the Millennials — overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders, an out-and-out Socialist, and when he failed to get the nomination, they voted for Hillary. Remember too, that Hillary received three million more votes than Trump. The only reason Trump is our President is because of the Electoral College which the Liberals and Socialists are determined to abolish. So you see what can happen if we left our country to the majority?
The most sobering thing to keep in mind is that all the recent polls reveal that only 9% of Americans have a biblical worldview, and only 15% of professing Christians can be characterized as "Bible-believing."
Our nation's glory days are over, or at the very least coming to an end. We are destined for destruction, and the fundamental reason is that we have forgotten about God.
