The Centrality of Property Rights to Liberty
Property Rights: As Sacred as the Laws of God, by Arthur R. Thompson, Appleton, Wisconsin: The John Birch Society, 2022, 114 pages, paperback.
Many Americans have heard of the song “This Land Is Your Land,” penned and sung by Oklahoman Woody Guthrie in the 1930s. While the tune is quite catchy, its message is Marxist. In one verse of the song, Guthrie tells of a sign that read “Private Property” on one side, but the other side was blank. That side, according to Guthrie, was “made for you and me.”
