Wealthy Americans
could resolve debt
Many of us have been struck.by
a good idea, thought it through
carefully and then let it slip away.
Yet there are thoughts that once
they surface, refuse to lie dor
mant Lately just such a one has
besieged me. What to do about
it presented an even greater prob
lem, until the idea of letters to the
editors penetrated the void.
It's difficult for the ordinary
individual to get through the
Great Doors. Therefore, for lack
of a personal forum, I am
depending on the newspapers.
The topic b America. In view of
all htr struggles, and all that has
been derived from her, it seems
fitting that she should be
redeemed. We have a national
scandal on our hands and don't
even acknowledge the shams.
In contemplating our history,
recalling the times when thou-

The lower socioeconomic seg
ments of society are beat pro
tected by a strong, rather than a
weak, conception of property rights,
legal historian Morton Horwitz
notes th at "One of the most strik
ing aspects of legal change during
the antebellum period is the
extent to which common law
doctrines were transformed to
created immunities from legal
sands upon thousands of worthy
young men marched off to their
deaths, and being reminded of
the many who came back physi
cally and psychologically scarred
for the rest of their lives, and
when I think of the steadfast
mothers and fathers who spent
precious years raising those young
men from infancy and see them
come to that end, I am appalled
that the wealthy of this land have
not come forth during this fman
cidciitospSthcirmonetliood, thus making a grand sacrifice in
order to resolve the problem of
our unbelievable national debt!
Such help, along with a healthy
national pride and some imagi
nation, could be the start of get
ting that "runaway horse" under
control.
Unfortunately, I feel that Amer
ica is a land where too many have
in the past and others today con
tinue to drain her of her resour
ces, taking tremendous advantage
of the land and waters, yet appear
blind to the fact that she is in dire
need of their help for indeed
America is suffering from a mor
tal wound, While we are restoring
Lady Liberty, let's also look to the
land upon which she reigns. With
this the gauntlet has been thrown
down, i'rom among the rich and
powerful, who will come forth to
meet the challenge?

young America supports Reagan's
economic policies and his stand

liability and thereby to provide
substantial subsidies for those
who undertook schemes of eco
nomic devclopment'Thcn, as now,
development was the alter upon
which property rights, the only
real human rights, were sacrificed.
By a revitalization of pre-antc-bellum
property protections along
with an abolition of zoning, indi
viduals would regain the oppor
tunity to determine their own
futures. A family, for example,
could sell its legal right to object
to a nuisance and therefore would
be compensated for the aesthetic
or social dimunition. In this
fashion those who benefit from
development are forced to bear
the cost of the development. Cur
rently with zoning laws however,
developers are legally permitted
to shift these costs to the sur
rounding neighborhoods and are
thereby provided a somewhat sub
stantial subsidy by local govern
ment.
Perhaps now is the time for
Lincoln to begin a public discus
sion on the possibility of getting
rid of zoning. Now only is it an
administrative pain in the neck
but repeal of zoning laws and the
implementation of non-prescriptive
free market methods of guid
ing community growth would pro
tect individuals as well as better
protect important social interests.
