Conservatism and the Pursuit of Happiness

The best way to pursuit happiness is by being free and that’s what the Conservative Movement is all about. It’s about empowering individuals by getting government out of their way. The State can get in the path of people’s liberties through excessive regulations, laws and high taxes, making it hard for the private sector to grow. You know what’s better for your life than some Government’s bureaucrats do.

Here is how The Pursuit of Happiness was first described by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Conservatives don’t see people by groups such as: Whites, Latinos, Jews. But as individuals, it doesn’t matter the color of your skin, sexual orientation or religion, but who you are as an individual, as a person. Conservatives want you to be the best you wish to be.

The left always complains that the taxes aren’t high enough, that the rich aren’t paying their fair share, and then they victimize people, saying that they can’t take care of themselves. Who are they to think that they are better than everybody else? After passing into law all the regulations and high taxes they want, the people who gets hit the most aren’t the very rich but the middle class and the poor, because those high taxes hit small businesses very hard and make them lay off their employees. Maybe it’s the Government’s tactics to keep people thinking that they are the solution. Government isn’t the solution, Government is the problem.
