The Pilgrims Learn The Hard Way : Free Markets Saved Them

This is very interesting depiction of how the progressive liberal collective got started and then was thrown under the bus last November 8th.

If you are listeners of Rush Limbaugh you have been educated on just what transpired when the Pilgrims landed in the new world, and set up camp to pursue their agenda of religious freedom.

The problems started though when the shirt tails of the business model that that they escaped from where instituted by William Bradford for their survival in the wilderness.

As history so clearly points out, as it always does if one is willing to read and understand it's significance, under Bradford's original economic system where everyone shared in everyone else's success of growing food, most of the original crew died from exposure to the elements and starvation.

What happened? Who knew? As is human nature, some of the escapees decided they weren't cut out to work hard or found it unnecessary to become team players to even survive, as others will doing a good job of providing the necessities of life. They did not contribute anything to the larger group to survive the elements. The responsibility fell on those few who understood what will happen if there isn't enough food to go around. The workers knew what to do, while the others that were mentally still living in the old world where others took care of them, did nothing.

And as the story is told by Bradford in his journals, many of the hard workers became angry with those that didn't contribute. The hard worker  also slacked off. Why do all the work while other do nothing and yet survive.

The results of course are clear to those of us that understand, if you don't work bad things will happen to you and your family, or so the theory goes. If the system is to take from the productive and give to the unproductive, disaster is not far behind.

And here we are today, struggling under the boot of a failed socialist liberal agenda, a philosophy and ideology of an all knowing and all powerful centralized authority. They leaned nothing from the pilgrims.

Remember the twentieth century countries that believed they could make this philosophy work, 'each according to ones needs, and from each according to ones abilities' which resulted in the death of 10's millions of innocent souls.

The next spring when Bradford surveyed the remains of his flock, he decided something needed to be done to guarantee the survival of the remaining clan. He introduced free market principles among the survivors, giving each member a plot of land where they will be able to keep what ever they produce and or sell what ever they don't want to keep for themselves.

Again, as history also shows such a keen sign post for the next centuries generations to follow, that free market ideas work which saved the colony from destruction, and eventually brought about the foundation for future generations to build the greatest nation on earth.

Even with the election of Donald Trump by a public that has had enough of the socialist liberal agenda, the jury is still out on just what Mr Trump will actually do to turn our country back to successful free market principles that will save us all from a life of everything being 'equal and fair'.

Reality is not about being equal or fair. My philosophy is 'each according ones abilities' - period!
