Only once in the last 250,000 years have humans stumbled upon a way to lift ourselves out of the endless cycle of poverty, hunger, and war that defines most of history–in 18th century England when we accidentally discovered the miracle of liberal democratic capitalism.
As Americans we are doubly blessed that those radical ideas were written into the Constitution, laying the groundwork for our uniquely prosperous society:
– Our rights come from God not from the government.
– The government belongs to us; we do not belong to the government.
– The individual is sovereign. We are all captains of our own souls.
– The fruits of our labors belong to us.
