Please help with fresh ideas of freedom

[countrykidz4freedom]

Are any of the rest of you having problems with getting message understood to those who are on welfare? It seems they are so afraid, they can't seem to get past the thought of the freebies (which really aren't so free) to understand how much better off they would be with Ron Paul's plan for the economy. I need some ideas to help them understand, I am running into the same fears again and again, and it is frustrating to me. :(

It's difficult to convert people on welfare because they don't tend to want to take personal responsibility and would prefer a Nanny State - at everyone elses' expense. You need to give this person a hard sell on personal responsibility, saying that collecting welfare is detrimental to others, and that excessive taxation contributes to welfare dependency.

If they reply that that is their problem, you have a hard-headed socialist - and I know not the cure.

If you haven't already, buy The Revolution: A Manifesto. I believe you will find your answers there. ;)

From: http://www.simpleliberty.org/main/index.htm

"Liberty often is a frightening word to many people because a life of liberty means self-responsibility and self-government. A life of liberty does not mean a life of ease, or that the challenges of life will be easier. Indeed, often a life of liberty is a challenge, not only because of the requirement for responsibility, but because many other people do not believe the same. Often that means a clash of beliefs and values.

People who choose a life of liberty do not want to control or rule other people, they merely want to be left alone. Not necessarily left alone as a hermit might prefer, although there is nothing wrong with such a decision, but left alone to be self-determining and self-governing. They want to participate freely and voluntarily in all relationships.

Achieving a life of liberty is difficult for many people because they never have been taught to think that way. Yet, not knowing is only ignorance. Ignorance is curable. My hope for this little corner of the world—my soap box and sounding board—is to provide people information to live a life of liberty. This is not a political site, although I certainly have some thoughts about that realm. Mostly this site is about practical living, and most of those efforts begin between the ears. This web site is my own outreach to helping other people live a life of liberty, yet helping them do so with confidence. I hope you will find this site useful. Thanks for stopping by.
