Man, Freedom and Government by Ezra Taft Benson 3 of 3

The following presentation, originally released in 1968 as a filmstrip, was written and narrated by the late Ezra Taft Benson. He is best remembered for his distinguished career in government and his extensive religious service. Starting in 1953, he served eight years as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture in the Eisenhower administration and was widely recognized as a staunch anti-Communist.

As Secretary, he worked to reverse the wartime increase in government control over farming, winning significant legislative victories despite intense political opposition. Mr. Benson and Robert Welch, Founder of The John Birch Society later become good friends.

Man, Freedom and Government is a classic presentation on the proper role of government. Mr. Benson narrates this video.

5:01 - 5:10 : Problem: When allowed to choose their own charities, people often give to eccentric, far off or emotional issues that are highly visible; not to each issues that needs to be addressed. i.e. charity and voluntary giving/funding lumps up or clusters and does not spread out evenly (see for instance academic funding to projects and how "Climate Change" and other pet issues cause the same clustering of funding). That is why some body needs to have info and power to avoid the clustering

It is an eye opener. Problem that I have is that I really never even have known what it is to be a free man. Nearly 45 years of age, and I don't see anything getting any better. It's actually getting to the point where I hear of the elderly joining militia groups because they're getting scared of their government. If the healthcare bill doesn't get repealed, I'm leaving this country. My body is my ownership, not any government or any other person. Certainly not some politician!
