#1 Affluence and poverty are the twins of liberalism.

More like the hypocrisy of liberalism. Affluence is OK for the elite but not for the regular folks. Liberalism has just about wiped out the middle class. Freedom, the desire to change, and the will to take risks can lift a person out of poverty.

The Declaration of Independence stated: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

There are no guarantees in this world.

#2 Guarantees ? Death, taxes, and hearing loss. That is if you live long enough.

#3 But there are guarantees.....that those who scheme to take your money will conspire with those who make laws. Witness the birth of big government tyranny dressed up as social justice and other such nonsense. Marki Levin in Liberty and Tyranny has it right, the essence of the whole issue between Progressives (Statists)and Conservatives is the limits on "private property" rights. Robbery is theft, but "taxing" beyond the enumerated powers of government contained in the contract (Constitution) is tyranny. Where do you think Chamnp wants to take us on the range of this dynamic?.....Anyone...Bueller?

#4 Mark Levin's book 'Liberty and Tyranny' lays it out very well.
