THE EDITOR TOM ANDERSON TOBOGGAN RUN Your federal government 1 Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty II Corinthians 3:17 linVflTirriihimtfi'aaaiiasissiisaisiiiiMitaiiiiiBaaiMfJtjR THANKSGIVING-TH- EN AND NOW The first Thanksgiving in 1623 celebrated the return of prosperity after a period of scarcity and starvation lasting about two years. For more than three centuries, this freedom endured and it produced the most generous scale of living ever attained by human beings. Beginning about 90 years ago, or in the closing quarter of the previous century, freedom began to be eroded. At first, the losses were small, infrequent and not very alarming. Direct election of senators and judges, initiative, referendum and recall, the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Reserve Bank and other similar infractions of the liberty of the people proceeded more rapidly. In the second quarter of the present century, it became evident that 'the growth of government intervention and control was seriously depriving the people of liberties they had formerly enjoyed. Socialism raised its head to challenge free enterprise. People saw the faults of the latter, but appeared oblivious to the much greater faults of the former. During the past two decades, controls exercised by a rapidly growing bureaucracy and mountains of paperwork have sapped the time and energy of our people. About 40 percent of all that we earn is spent by government. In addition, direct debts, indirect obligations, contingent liabilities and pension commitments have risen to many trillions of dollars. The sum is incomprehensible. I know of no record of any government that has ever paid its debts in money of equal purchasing power. Government borrows dollars and returns to the lenders 75 cents, 50 cents, 25 cents, or less, depending on the amount of time between the borrowing and the payment of the debt. In plain language, it is stealing. The government steals an proportion of the its earnings of subjects. At the same time, it puts vast numbers of them on the payroll at 50 percent more than their counterparts in the private sector receive; passes out relief mingled with great fraud, food stamps. Social Security and pensions not based on sound actuarial principles, but rather on political expediency. What we have to be thankful for today is not that all this has taken place, but that the productive capacity of our country is so great that we are still able to turn out vast quantities of food and manufactured goods while maintaining our cultural activities and a large margin for domestic and foreign charity. The real thing we have to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day in 1977 is that we still retain the right to change all of this, to dismantle the whole ugly. ever-increasi- THANKSGIVING 1977 TO OUR FRIENDS: A wise old gentleman tells a story about Thanksgiving when he was a boy. How the table was heaped high, with a giant turkey and all the fixings. How the family was gathered around, with children wanting their father to hurry and fill their plates. After the blessing had been said, his father, with carving knife in hand, would pause and say: Bring none of your slim Little appetites here. For Thanksgiving comes But once in the year. It was a festive day, and we extend the wish that your Thanksgiving will be equally hap-p- y. We have warmly appreciated your friendship and will always strive to deserve your trust and confidence.
