Heinrich's World of "Good and Evil"

Reresentative Martin Heinrich’s announcement over the weekend that he will be seeking election to the U.S. Senate was a case study in false premises. In Heinrich’s world there is a desperate struggle going on between “good” and “evil.” And much like his voting teammate in the House, Nancy Pelosi, Heinrich calls on New Mexicans to enable him to increasingly empower the federal government as a worthy protector of the greater “good.”

Unfortunately, the simplistic “good” and “evil” economic premises Heinrich uses were also adopted by Lenin when he seized power in Russia. Chairman Mao used the same system of economic logic in his arguments for controlling China’s businesses. Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro have always positioned themselves as the enemies of corporations in Venezuela and Cuba. And perhaps most sadly, the Bureau of Indian Affairs has been using a familiar “protection from evil” angle to maintain control of the day-to-day lives and property of Native Americans. At its core, Heinrich’s governing paradigm requires a denial that anyone willing to develop ability, work ethic, drive, and team building skills, can actually create their own breaks. He prefers that voters live on the government plantation and believe that only when more decision-making authority falls into the hands of government, can we ever hope to fix our nation’s problems.

Martin Heinrich’s vote last year for Obamacare reveals a deep trust in government's management capabilities and deep distrust in the individual. New Mexicans should recognize that Martin Heinrich feels comfortable in Washington with other ruling elites. He sees no value in encouraging self-reliance or fiscal responsibility. He offers no proposals to end the borrowing insanity in Washington. And like Castro, Chavez, Lenin, and Mao, his preferred economic views will be framed as follows: Government tends to be “good” and Business tends to be “evil”......therefore, empower government and increase CONTROL of all businesses. He wants to protect you.....from yourself.
