Which Type of Pie Do you Prefer?

Note the rhetoric of the House Democrats. As Republicans call for a tax cut across the board, Democrats assure us that a cut for the wealthy will merely stifle the tax cut for the lower and middle classes. This argument can be refuted by using the pie analogy. Leftists see all of the money from this country as a static pie, with the predominate portion reserved for the wealthy. Few gain, the rest lose...solution: re-distribution. Free-enterprise thinking individuals see the pie as ever-expanding, while the percentages remain the same as the static pie, an increased amount for the wealthy coincides with a larger amount for the middle and lower classes. Thereby, all people gain. Due to the never-before-seen production of wealth at the turn of the century, I have my doubts that wealth is merely stagnant.

Endowed by Their Creator

There is a common misconception that the famous lines of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence,"...endowed by their creator..." supposedly means that US citizens are a nation "under God." While people have the freedom to choose their creator, the intent of the author was not to direct this notion of a theocratic society subjecting themselves to Christian ideologies. Rather, the man who states "Question with boldness even the existence of God," intent is to confirm that every citizen has the right to his own individual liberty not subjected to any upper authority other than himself. If he chooses his upper authority to be a God, the freedom is his, yet, he should be mindful not to dub the opinion of his nature-worshipping brother inferior.
