Carter the that countered unemployment rate of 7.8 percent (September, 1976 figures) was far too high above his target of 4.5 percent. the understand To apparent paradox suggested by these two sets of figures, it is necessary to examine just what is the definition of an unemployed person as far as calculating the jobless rate is concerned. Such a person is anyone who says he or she is looking for work. This e category includes students who would like to part-tim- e find work, whose parents teenagers and them, support housewives who have never worked before but would like to find a job now.

Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes, we find was an accepted fact in 1776, for it was written into our Declaration of Independnece. But today, who even recalls the causes or recognizes the reasons, let alone the extent of the changes that have been made in our government? The government of America has been changed, but all we note is that the people here and abroad are liking it less. The price tag is one obvious indication of the change. Federal taxes that for most of our 200 years were barely noticed by the people, but now they are the biggest burden of most every American. Before Roosevelt and his New Deal the federal government was usually spending well under $10 billion a year and usually ending up with a suplus. for he next 25 years tederal spending ha ciimbeu to $cqo billion a year, but there were deficits. In the last 25 years federal spending has climbed to $400 billion and the deficits are huge, so big we are suffering their inflationary results. And spending, and taxing, and inflation are still increasing. Maybe its only money, our money, but the government had to be changed drastically in order to increase its spending so drastically. In fact a limited federal government has become an unlimited federal government, and not only in what it can spend and tax, but also in what it can take from us, but also in what it can require of us, and also in what it can demand of us.

The collectivist experiment, says Governor Bradford: was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For the young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other mens wives and children without any recompense. The strong, or man of parts, had no more in division or victuals and clothes, than he that was weak and not able to do a quarter the others could; this was thought injustice. Governor Bradford goes on to explain that the able men, thought it some indignity and disrespect for them to be ruled and equalized in labor and victuals, clothes, etc., with the meaner and younger sort, and for mens wives to be commanded to do service for other men, as dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc., they deemed it a kind of slavery, neither could many husbands well brookc it. By the autumn of 1623, six months after the end of the communist experiment, individual had enterprise brought prosperity. In Governor Bradfords words:. By this time, harvest was come and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God and the efTect of their particular planting was well seen, for all had, one way and other, pretty well to bring the year about, and some of the abler sort and more industrious had to spare, and sell to others, so as any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since this day. his first Thanksgiving was caused by the end of communism. If communism returns, there will be no more Thanksgivings. I Economics Department NORTHWOOD INSTITUTE November, 1976 ed |
