I thought this piece was a rather novel take on things.

Pharoah created jobs for us. Moses led us away from those jobs. Even though those jobs helped to complete public infrastructure. Even though they were green jobs, where we used our muscles and our backs instead of fossil fuels.

Moses could have been part of the ruling class in Egypt. He chose freedom instead. Those of us who followed Moses also chose freedom. Freedom brings risks. But we preferred the risks of freedom to the security of bondage.

It’s by Arnold Kling, and there’s a bit more if you go to the original blog post. I suspect it would be beneficial if people with a classical liberal orientation got better at illustrating their views by using both new and old stories.
