In an August 31, 2010 article in the USA Today (“Mickey Mouse, the estate tax and me”), Abigail Disney makes the case that the estate tax “is not the bogeyman you might think it is.”  In the last paragraph of her article, she states her real premise: "the estate tax is the cornerstone of a progressive system that leaves wealthy heirs with ample funds while providing the government with the resources it needs to build an environment for the common good. By preserving it, we not only restore billions in revenue to the national treasury – we also restore our most cherished collective ideals as a nation." [emphasis mine] Restated:  government is the source of the common good and must be amply funded by the “wealthy.”  I think not.  The source of the common good is individual, unalienable rights endowed by our Creator.  Through exercise of each individual’s personal rights – among these, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – comes the creation of individual wealth, which in turn benefits society, not vice versa, as Ms. Disney would lead one to believe.  It is government’s role to protect those rights not redistribute wealth these rights produce, in the pursuit of the greater good.

Ms. Disney supports her argument with what she calls three “truths:”

Where were you Saturday, August 28^th 2010? If you were not at the National Mall, then you missed an amazing event. As we cleared the crest of the hill of the Washington Monument, you could feel there was something very special happening.

I have requested through Karen Hurd that we bring awareness to the Hampton Roads Tea Party on the Eastern Shore in starting chapters here with the upcoming elections. I had supported Loyola before the primary, but will be happy to support Scott Rigell after his signing of the Tea Party pledge.
I am inspired by Glenn Beck and his Restoring Honor event. We do not an easy challenge to restore honor in America after viewing the mainstream media's coverage of the event. They have painted it anything other than Faith, Hope and Charity.
