*ARC on the Tea Parties

*Today, thousands of Americans are joining modern day tea parties, named
after the Boston Tea Party** of 1773. They are protesting a government that,
in the wake of today's financial crisis, is rapidly strangling their
freedom, with endless bailouts, mounting regulations, reckless spending, and
the promise of a crippling tax burden. Correctly sensing that the American
system is being discarded, they seek to battle this trend by taking to the
streets to register their outrage.

But today's statist onslaught is the result of a deeply entrenched set of
ideas about the proper purpose of government. Virtually everyone today
believes that unrestricted capitalism is immoral and dangerous, and that the
government's role is to actively intervene in the economy in order to
achieve the "public good." So long as these ideas remain unchallenged, and
no positive alternative is offered, no protest will be able to change the
country's course.

What's needed today is not a tax revolt, but a revolt against today's
intellectual mainstream. On these pages, ARC experts provide a rational
alternative to the ideas behind today's march toward statism. They argue for
a return to the Founding Fathers' view of the proper role of government:
that the purpose of government is not to exercise control over our lives for
the "public good," but to protect our rights to life, liberty, property, and
the pursuit of happiness. They show that the only economic system consistent
with the Founders' ideal is laissez-faire capitalism—and that it wasn't
capitalism, but massive government intervention that led to today's crisis.
They show that only by embracing capitalism as a profoundly moral ideal can
we truly resist Washington 's assault on freedom, and return the country to
liberty and prosperity.*

*Editor: IMHO, the proper role of govt is to maintain competiton by
preventing monopolies. Starting in the 1990's we got off the track when
Clinton decided our corps had to be bigger to compete in the global market
place. Corps like GE, Goldman Sachs, the top 10 or 20 banks shoud be broken
up and any other corp that is "too big to fail". Isn't that why the Sherman
Anti-Trust laws exist?
