WEEKLY THOUGHTS:

 

What, then, do they want a government for? Not to regulate commerce; not to educate the people; not to teach religion, not to administer charity; not to make roads and railways; but simply to defend the natural rights of man -- to protect person and property -- to prevent the aggressions of the powerful upon the weak -- in a word, to administer justice. This is the natural, the original, office of a government. It was not intended to do less: it ought not to be allowed to do more.
 

- Herbert Spencer

 "The Proper Sphere of Government"

Government Is a Scam

 

Government people always prey on the fears of the citizens in order to gain power over them. Sometimes it is the fear of the government people themselves and other times it is the fear of a potential enemy or whatever fits the current situation. Global warming, global cooling, healthcare, uninsured, cold war, school shootings, obesity, a fearful enemy, evil businessmen, are some of the excuses used to usurp power. And, unfortunately, Americans usually fall for the scam. Time and time again it works. Government’s job is to preserve the Freedom of each individual American. There is absolutely no question by any honest thinking person that the government people have failed miserably at that. Government people claim to have protected Americans from foreign evils but the price of blood, treasure and loss of Freedom has been a tremendously inefficient misuse and waste of all three. But the major blunder by the American People is not to see the obvious which is that the government people are not even trying to protect Freedom. No President, Congress or Supreme Court has ever left office with more or even equal Freedom than when they entered. That fact alone shows that there is absolutely no desire or attempt by the majority of politicians or bureaucrats or citizens to maintain Freedom for all Americans, equally. That clearly shows that government people lie, cheat and steal their way to a better life with more power for themselves at the expense of the foolish compliant citizens. Is this a scam or isn’t it?

　

The record clearly shows that government people have actually taken more Freedom from Americans than they have protected. Check it out. America has had few foreign aggressors attack it. Regardless of what the intent of some of the Founders was at the founding of America the Constitution was sold on the basis of Freedom for all Americans. Those who may have had intentions contrary to Freedom for all were out voted. And even then, the Constitution would not have been accepted by the American People until there was a promise of a Bill of Rights to make it absolutely clear that the people wanted and demanded Freedom for all and demanded absolute limitations as to what government people could and could not do. But even then there were many, many people who felt that the chains of the Constitution were not strong enough to contain the evil of the government people. They were the ones who were correct in their analysis. The future politicians abused, usurped and destroyed the meaning and intent of the Constitution. Is this a scam that not only continues today but has accelerated in its evil intent? The answer is clearly shown by the intrusion into the lives and desires of a substantial number of Americans. Time after time Freedom of the individual has taken a back seat to the power and greed of politicians and the majority.

　

Democracy itself, which was abhorred by the Founders due to its failure to protect the minority, has been promoted by usurpers as a beacon of Freedom. The idea is that everyone has a hand in running the government, which is not true even on a shallow look. The voter is at the mercy of the representatives he or she elects or doesn’t elect. Even that is not really true. One can speak to his or her representative who may or may not be in agreement. One never knows if the Representative will do what’s right (and in who’s opinion) or will do what the other constituents want or will do what gets him or her re-elected. Not only that, but he or she is only one vote of 435 and the other 434 will not speak to one who is not a constituent, but they have usurped the power to enslave. History shows that Freedom has not been protected. Democracy is used to continue the scam.

　

Progressive income tax is promoted as Americans paying their fair share for the benefits of government. Who can fairly decide what is a fair share? Certainly not the taker. It is used as a weapon of redistribution which gives power to the politicians by allowing them to buy the votes of the lower income Americans with the earnings of the higher income Americans. This is another scam because 90% of what the government people spend to buy votes is not authorized in the Constitution. These ill gotten monies are not needed in a Free society.

　

There are so many scams within the main scam of government itself that they cannot even be counted. The only solution to the scams is to take all usurped powers from the politicians that are not clearly authorized in the Constitution. The FOCUS ON FREEDOM, ABSOLUTE FREEDOM by enough Freedom thinking Americans will do that.
