Margaret Thatcher on Capitalism and Freedom

Summary

A free society is not just economic freedom but also freedom of ideas. When there is no centralized control of the “correct view”, we are free to pursue our own ideas and beliefs. We are even free to share and challenge and engage others on their views. This is freedom at work. Establish your convictions and learn them well enough to know you are right, or brave enough to discover you are wrong. You are only allowed to do this in a free society without central control.

Asking for money is hard. Mandatory taxes on citizens are forced donations to causes that you may or may not believe in. The more you are taxed, the less money in your pocket to donate to causes of YOUR choice. This results in less freedom for you to shape the path of programs that you believe will benefit society. Government may use tax revenue for causes you do believe in, but the vast majority is wasted on programs you do not want, and in many cases, are of greater societal cost rather than benefit to the problem they aim to solve. The more government programs and agencies created, the greater the chance of waste at your expense. We ask, even after your tax burden, please consider supporting a cause you DO believe in. Let us spread freedom together. ~NF
