Voice for Liberty in Wichita (KS) features a blog post, which is in response to a letter to the editor from a Mr. Chet Syres of Hutchinson, KS. Mr. Syres advocates a progressive liberalism, where government offers even greater levels of altruism to people. Government is only able to offer to one person what it takes from another. Social Progressives are modern day government bureaucrats.
Voice for Liberty in Wichita writes:
Mr. Syres says he wants to promote “social justice” through charity implemented through legislation. Is progress made when voluntary charity is replaced by government programs, fed by taxation? Is progress made when the voluntary cooperation of free people trading in free markets is replaced by the heavy hand of government coercion? Of course not, except for those who believe that they know better than everyone else how things should be, and seek to implement their ideas through expanded government. These are the social progressives, and they are a threat to liberty and prosperity.
