There is a need to help the poor escape from poverty on their own rather than being condemned to life-long bread lines. Private property rights are a means to build wealth. It is estimated there is $10 trillion in dead capital—that is property in the world that no one is allowed to own or invest in.
The core reason for poverty is bad government.
At least 60 percent of American companies have been started through equity loans on private property. Those privately held companies now employ about 60 percent of the American workforce. That is how private property ownership made the United States the richest nation in the world, almost overnight, and the lack of the system is the reason most of the rest of the world is failing under extreme poverty.
Poverty is very helpful to dictators because poor people are powerless to rise up against them. Poverty is also convenient to rouse the rabble against political opponents and spread fear.
The second reason the world is sinking into ever greater poverty is the environmental movement—they actually prefer people to remain poor, living in mud huts with no infrastructure, running water or electricity. That they claim is sustainable. That is the reason they do not want Africa to have cheap power, they want them to use solar power, so they will never become an industrial notion.
Author Ted Trainer has written a book entitled Transition to a Sustainable And Just World, which is really nothing more than a blueprint for establishing Marxist principles into your local community. Trainer’s motto for us all is that “you must live on less!”
Only in wealthy nations do people have enough money and time to worry about protecting the environment. The poor worry only about one thing—survival. None of this is really about helping the poor or the ecology. It is about power.
We must not let the zoning department keep taking away our property rights. And we must elect only county commissioners who will protect our property rights.
