A Socialized Rugged Individualist There’s a story going- the rounds about a young man who lived with his parents in a public housing development. He attended public school, rode the free school bus, and participated in the free lunch program. He entered the Army and upon discharge kept his national service life insurance. He then enrolled in the State University, working part time in the State Capitol to supplement his Gl check. Upon graduation, he married a public health nurse and borught a farm with an FHA loan, then obtained an RFC loan to go into business. A baby was born in the county hospital. He bought a ranch with the aid of a GI loan and obtained emergency feed from the Government. Later he put part of his land in the soil bank and the payments helped pay off his debts. His parents lived comfortably on the ranch with their social security and old-age assistance checks. REA lines supplied electricity. The Government helped clear the land. The county agent showed him how to terrace it, then the Govern ment paid part of the cost of a pond and stocked it with fish. The Gorv- ernment guaranteed him a sale for his farm products. Books from the public library were delivered to his door. He bank ed money which a Government agency insured. He signed a petition seeking Federal assistance in developing an industrial project to help the economy of his area. Then, one day he wrote to his Congressman: “I wish to protest excessive government spending and high taxes. I believe in rugged individualism. I think people should stand on their own two feet without expecting handouts. I am opposed to all social istic trends and I demand a return to the principles of our Constitu tion.” The young man needed to learn one hard truth: the government has no moTiey for present or promised programs except what it takes from the people through taxation or inflation. Production—creating needed goods and services—is what counts. And this is achieved only by the workers and producers in business and industry in this country.
