As a citizen, a researcher and a teacher, I teach others one of the most important ideas ever discovered by the human mind: the natural liberty of the individual human being. That idea is why I cannot vote for Joe Biden.

From my studies of history and human nature, I know better than to expect utopia on Earth. Dreams of utopia end in tyranny. I know that when well-dressed, well-spoken demagogues promise free things, perfect safety and a veritable Garden of Eden in exchange for total government control, wide scales of cruelty and human suffering result.

I also know that ordinary human beings do best when they are free and secure in their private property. Where government power is constrained by a wisely designed constitution, and channeled toward the goal of protecting the equal individual rights of citizens, human beings thrive and flourish more than in any other socio-political condition.

Biden is a thorough progressive. He embodies the progressive movement, the goal of which is total government central planning, of everything, by bureaucrats and alleged "experts" free from constitutional limits on government power.

In a world of progressivism, the American dream of improving one's own life becomes increasingly difficult as individual liberty is eclipsed by progressive power, regulatory control and government supervision.

After decades of progressive subsidies, red tape and restrictions, it's more difficult and expensive than ever to start a business, buy a home or provide for one's own family.

In a world of progressivism, opportunities are for the politically connected only—the son of a crony progressive politician, for example, with no skills or expertise, is paid millions of dollars simply for laundering money for his father.
