The American people are divided in two parts. One group is worried and insecure. They organize to demand job security. They are greedy for tenure, automatic raises, generous pensions, and the best possible medical care.

These Americans are like the French, fearful of free markets, insecure about their own abilities, and tending to be lazy.

The rest of us work in the free market. We have no job protection except what we earn. We have no value except what we produce. We have no job security. We are Americans. Self-reliant. Courageous. Bold.

The French-Americans are weak and timid. They lack self-confidence and courage. The dumber of them, on the leftist fringe, hate the rest of us.

The smarter among them understand how important it is to have a hard-working majority to support them. They know it’s important to keep part of the economy private. It keeps them from having to compete with smarter people, who, if they didn’t gravitate to challenges of the free market, would be after them and their jobs.

And, as we meet the challenges of a free market in which we have to satisfy our neighbors, while being viciously taxed to pay for the better salaries and pensions of those who tax us, we give the French-Americans a source of mostly free sustenance.

We free-market workers who aren’t supporting revolution are in great shape, theologically. If we’re not Christians, we should be. It’s absolutely stupid to not get Heaven Credits for forgiving those who trespass against us.
