Thompson needed help to deal with the President’s
latest move toward the European socialistic welfare state. He turned to the
Freelance Thinker for advice to save America. The Freelance Thinker, known just
as “Free” at the Manitou Beach Institute for economics, is considered to be their
best research fellow and all around good fellow. After Tom explained what the
President was proposing, Free had some free advice for Tom.
He said, “What you should do is beat him at his own
game. Form a new political party called The Red Herring Party and state that
your platform is ‘A strong and just society that ensures that the wealth
generated by all is shared fairly as determined by the state. This will be
accomplished by progressive taxes on the rich to redistribute wealth from the
winners to the losers. When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for
everybody’. You promise everything that is promised by the President’s policy,
plus more. With this platform you can get your party elected and then, impeach
the President!”
Tom said, “Yeah, but I don’t want to do all that
stuff you’re talking about because that would be worse than what the President
is proposing.”
Free said, “That’s alright. You will be a politician
making promises and everybody knows they never keep their promises. Once you
get your party elected in to power, you can renege and go back to the
principles that made our country great. Lying and cheating is okay if it is
done for a worthy cause. The end justifies the means.”
And the plan succeeded
and the U.S.A. continued on into perpetuity, thanks to Free.
THE END
A
new novel coming soon…
