The government protects us and protects our property from others. It does this by separating what’s mine and what’s yours. Now if you are satisfied with who you are and what you have it works pretty good. But the person who is not satisfied with their lot in life and wants to better themselves has a problem. Everybody is equal and everybody has the same protections, the same rights. Yet some people have things and others don’t. It’s not equal for everyone. One person is rich and one person is poor.

What happened to that dream and vision of equality? What went wrong? And more importantly how can we right this wrong? How can we share the wealth of personal possessions equally among all the people? Well of course, take away all personal wealth and possessions and give them to the state to redistribute. Wealth and property are no longer personal, they belong to society.

You see what’s happening here? The first equality was where the government treats everybody equally as citizens. The rights of all citizens are the same. But wealth and possessions are not equally distributed. Because we are all judged according to our wealth and our possessions we are not really equal to each other! So everything must be turned over to the state or government.

This is the second robbery of individual rights in the interest of the collective. First they made everybody citizens and subject to an external authority called the law and now is the great redistribution of wealth and property where everything is given to society and society in return gives it back equally and fairly, or at least that’s the idea.

The oppressed and disadvantaged majority are at the bottom of society and they are at a disadvantage compared to those at the top who are a minority. Those at the top enjoy prosperity while those at the bottom are in need. Does this sound familiar? So how do you make it equal? How do you make it so that everyone enjoys prosperity?

First each individual was either raised to the social class of a citizen or degraded to the social class of a citizen depending upon their lot in life. The common man was raised to a new level and the aristocrat was degraded to a common citizen.

Now here is how it goes. Our equality is based upon our labor. We each offer something to society that is of value through the work that we do. So we labor for each other, sharing the fruits of our labors equally as we receive the fruits of their labors from them. So now it becomes our own personal labor that makes us equal.

The problem with today’s younger generation is that nobody wants to work!
