To the Editor: President Obama is the paragon of a corrupt philosophy which has done more to hinder the progress of freedom than other any force in the history of mankind.
This entire philosophy is founded upon the belief that man’s purpose is to work for the sake of his neighbor, while any effort to advance one’s own welfare is the product of greed, thus leading to a state in which each man is concurrently the thief and the victim. When liberals declare that everyone must pay their fair share, inquire as to what standard they are utilizing to determine what constitutes a fair share.
When liberals declare that profit should only be permitted when it serves the common good, ask how society is to function when every man is required to work at a loss to himself and accomplishes nothing more than his own destruction. The true fatal flaw in this corrupt ideology, however, is that it requires the consent of the victim to be victimized; consider the prospect of your neighbor knocking on your door one day and declaring that he has just lost his job and has squandered his savings on misguided endeavors, thus denying him the means to support his family.
He then informs you that he is unwilling to accept a lower standard of living and that he requires you to feed and clothe his family in his stead, even if that requires the starvation of your own family. According to the dogma of liberalism, since that man has great need, and you have great ability, the common good compels you to make a great sacrifice that that man need not perish.
Certainly none of us would consider such a prospect practical, and yet this is exactly what is currently transpiring on the national stage; a system in which the men and women of ability are increasingly required to sacrifice their own self-interest in order to provide for those with the least ability and the greatest need. Consider for a moment what would happen if those individuals of ability simply refused to feed the beast which seeks to consume them; if they merely refused to work at their fullest capacity, and instead denied mankind of its most precious asset: the mind?
Would those men and women whom have thus far subsisted on the looted wealth of the most able among us suddenly acquire the volition and ability they have vehemently refused to acquire, or would society collapse due to the surplus of the demand of ability, with the corresponding shortage of the supply of that ability. This is the end which we presently pursue; this is the fate of a society which razes factories to the ground, confiscates the wealth of the entrepreneurs, and then demands of those rare men and women of ability: feed us, clothe us, lest we perish. If you wish to avoid this fate as passionately as I do, you must cease to rely on those whom claim to be our saviors while embracing every method at hand to render the individual subservient to the will of a collective which will ultimately perish when it runs out of wealth to consume and poverty to produce.
Beware the man who claims to live only for serving the public, for there is no greater purveyor of specious malfeasance than the man who claims that he has no self-interest; indeed self-interest can be the only impetus to action which man will ever know. The greatest works of mankind, from the wheel, to writing, to automobiles, to antibiotics and space shuttles were rendered by men and women who sought to advance their own position, and in the process, dragged the rest of us to greatness along with them.
The creed which I and all free men and women throughout history adhere to can best be summarized in one simple sentence, as Ayn Rand did more than half a century ago when our ancestors were confronted by the same damnation which we presently confront: “I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor will I ask another man to live for mine.”

If we, the free men and women of this nation, deny the statists our abilities, they will crumble under the weight of their own corruption. Those of you who choose to continue to subsist on the stolen wealth of others, who make no effort to break from the philosophy which I have just described, will perish along with it and rightly so. The sooner that tyranny dies, the sooner the free can rebuild the world which the despots and the serfs have, thus far, so tirelessly endeavored to destroy.
