Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

August 13, 2009

For most of our national existence, the United States of America has attracted people seeking both individual freedom and economic opportunity.

Given this history, it?s clear that something new and troubling has happened with many of America?s brightest college graduates, are beginning to look to China in search of economic opportunity.

According to the New York Times, ?Shanghai and Beijing are becoming new lands of opportunity for recent American college graduates who face unemployment nearing double digits at home.?

China?s political system, its banks, and much of its corporate system are controlled by the Communist Party. But the size and talent of its population has fueled a huge boom in entrepreneurial capitalism, a trend that will eventually lead to the undoing of the Communist Party?s apparatus of state control.

The real tragedy here is that China is headed toward market capitalism at the same time America is plunging head-long into collectivist tyranny.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
