What is destroying the world?

Let's consider some basic facts:

Man does not have an automatic means of survival, he has no claws to hunt, isn't strong enough to bring down a water buffalo, and has only his mind to keep him alive.

From this it implies that in order to survive, man must produce. He must take raw materials provided to him and produce items that are useful and necessary for his survival. For example:
collect stones to build a shelter, kill animals for skins to protect against the elements, make products to trade with other men.

This implies that every single person is a producer. That's right, we are all producers. Every person alive must be a producer, otherwise they would die very quickly.

In order to survive, man must be able to keep what he produces. His very life depends on it.

If a man has a right to life, he has a right to property. Without a right to property, there can be no right to life. The two are as one.

Man creates government to protect his property from other men. The government's responsibility is to protect man's propery at all costs. This is the most important and vital function of a good government. When a government starts to seize man's property by the use of force, this is a rogue government and it has violated what should be it's prime directive.

And that is what is destroying the world. Governments are taking trillions of dollars in property and using it for their own vain and useless causes. In order for the world to survive, this must stop as soon as possible. Forceably taking the production of another man is theft. There is no other word for it, theft is immoral by any standard.

When a man has his property taken from him by force, he will cease producing that property. Why should he make the effort to produce, if his effort is not rewarded, but punished. This is the main reason why jobs are disappearing throughout the world. Men of production, which create such jobs, no longer exist due to government policy.

As soon as the world realizes that we are all producers; there is no such thing as a "consumer" unless one speaks of government, which consumes and gives back nothing. We are not sacrifical animals. Our existence is not to provide government with financing. Our existence is to produce, and be allowed to keep the products we produce and to trade with other producers. That is the other vital function of government. They must enforce contracts between traders. Without such a mechanism, trade cannot survive.

From this we can infer that government is necessary for human survival; however, if it becomes a rogue government, it becomes the destroyer of human life.

Anyone who has looked at history can see that it is obvious that all the countries that have practiced some sort of government theft have led to enormous loss of life, and countries that have recognized man's right to life and property have prospered beyond anyone's wildest expectations.

Anyone who advocates a government that allows the taking by force of people's property is guilty of gross ignorance of history, economics and philosophy.

It is every American's responsibility to educate themselves. The tools exist to do so and why Americans choose not to do so is something that I find incredulous.
