How would you define prosperity?
For some, it’s mostly about economic affluence.
For others, being prosperous includes personal autonomy and self-reliance.
Having said that, most of us would likely agree that our sense of prosperity has been slipping lately.
Sometimes it seems as though the deck is being stacked against us.
Collusion between corporate special interests and government is creating a situation where authentic prosperity and freedom are things that only the very elite may enjoy.
Instead of begging politicians to save us here’s the question we should be asking:
How do we escape a corrupted system?
Paul Rosenberg teaches that with the key elements of economic freedom, personal independence, and personal privacy, we’d be mostly there.
Having the freedom to produce value as we choose, to make a profit, and to build up capital provides authentic personal power.
Of course, this is difficult to do in a system where regulation, debt, and taxation are used as leverage to prevent us from attaining that power.
Personal privacy allows us to act as we choose without threats and intimidation hanging over us.
Now does it make sense why those who run the corrupted system are so eagerly erasing our privacy?
Rosenberg reminds us that people who possess personal power are far less receptive to any system that is running roughshod over their natural rights.
This is why it’s essential that we choose to opt out of corrupted systems and to develop our personal independence.
