Practical Revenue Sharing (6)
In this enlightened day it is sad to see that we spend almost
1/5 of our tax revenues for defense, but in our realistic world
we can’t simply lie down for the exploiters to take us over.
Nevertheless, we can cut our bills for dissipative war con
siderably by using our heads a little more.
One exciting stimulant the Communists can’t stand for is a
free press, which gives vent to criticism and pretty often ac
complishes improvements. But the Reds have an Establish
ment all their own, like the scribes and Pharisees in the day of
Jesus. No “establishment" ever favors change and progress,
because of a peculiar disinterest in reinvigoration.
"Revisionism” is taboo. Well, God made dinosaurs on the
way to coming up with man. He wasn’t afraid to discard what
proved to be ineffectually oversize, in favor of the model He
finally designed, a versatile, high speed computer, a divine
masterpiece of miniaturization, a multitude of fingers busy as
His instruments, and the bearer of His Spirit, that is man.
This overwhelming honor we don’t often acknowledge, and
we hide from the implied responsibilities. See 1 Cor. 3:16.
Nevertheless, for us the main responsibility is to use our
heads, those miraculous 3 lb. computers God has spent
billions of years perfecting, and if we don’t use them, how can
God go on perfecting them?
We spend much of our time, effort and man power in war,
not at all appreciating that we can win our current conflict by
means of a free Vietnamese press. This would take the form
of a network of local newspapers set up throughout Viet Nam
to keep the populace informed of exactly what goes on in that
country under capitalism or communism, whichever and
wherever the people choose. They won’t all choose the same
alternative, and some coexistence can be demonstrated.
Those same newspapers can tell the outside world all about
it, and the communists won’t dare do anything oppressive.
Any illiteracy can speedily be removed by the Laubach
method, each one teach one, to read. Any military effort can
be confined to assuring that the dedicated editors, reporters
and the thinkers and leaders will not fall victims to assassins,
nor to jailers. The press must be free.
Thus we don’t have to accept the extravagance of war as an
emolument of our economy, nor macromonster deficits and
ruinous inflation as results. For over a century we have been
beating the Communists at their own game of producing a
better life, and we have been doing it under an at first reluc
tant capitalism. We try all sorts of innovations, such as Social
Security, Medicare, high pay, fringe benefits, competing
political parties, enlightened production lines, decent
delinquent rehabilitation.
But we are not vocal about all these perquisites of our do
it-yourself heaven. On the other hand, the Communists
visualize a society regimented to the state, and they talk
loudly, on the theory that who talks loudest and longest will
get to be boss, right or wrong. For us private enterprise may
still be somewhat under perfection, but our master plan rec
tifies much of that shortcoming, and we can speak with con
fidence to the world. (More next time.)
