Friends, it is a very special day in our nation’s history. This is a time to reflect on how blessed we are, as individuals, and as a nation. For many of us, this day will be filled with good food, football, and family traditions. However, as I said before, this is a time for reflection. Despite the obvious liberties and prosperities that have been afforded to us through our free-market economy, there has been a rapidly growing movement to make the United States a socialist state. As a result, I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss what the first Thanksgiving can teach us about socialism.
