I have just finished reading Dr. Carson's book "America the Beautiful." In it he discusses distribution of wealth. He quoted President James Madison who said, "There is nothing in the constitution that entitles the government to use the money of their constituents for charitable purposes." "No matter how noble their goals."
He quoted Thomas Jefferson who said, "The accumulation of huge debt by the Government is not only unacceptable but dangerous to the preservation of our nation." "I place economy among the first and most important virtues and public debt as the greatest danger."
Dr. Carson said, "The following statement shakes me to the core." "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
Dr. Carson said, "If we had a proportional tax system (flat tax) there would be no incentive for people to hide their money." " Proportionate tax including corporate entitles the flow of jobs and income would be into our nation rather than out of our nation."
I'm impressed by this man because for every problem he sees that our country has, he has a common sense solution to fix it.
