Fracture the Big Government Vote

Republicrats-742810Who has grown the federal government more in the last 70 years, big government R or big government D? Who has regulated away more of your liberty, red big government or blue big government?

Who Cares!!!

The point is the two parties have learned to collude together to continually grow their power and diminish individual liberty. This is hard to admit because we feel like one party or the other used to be great and if we stick with it we can fix it. To me, this is similar to a battered spouse saying “other than getting drunk and beating me up once a week he/she is a great person.” I say it is time to end this abusive relationship and admit the two parties have failed liberty long ago.

Now that we are ready to restore constitutional liberty, the threatened centralized powers warn us if we, citizen legislators, run for legislative office it will fracture the red big government vote we will get too much of the blue big government.

Did you notice there is NO CHOICE FOR LIMITED GOVERNMENT OR CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY? Are we not supposed to notice or be afraid to say something? Should we listen to their lies one more time and hope this time it works out?

I say it is time to fracture the big government vote. They are not invincible. Big government is defeatable. We the people are the only ones who can fail liberty. Citizens are stepping forward now in states across the country. Find liberty minded candidates in your state. Support them and not your failed relationship with a big party.

No Liberty with Negative Equity

By on December 5, 2009 in Big Government, Economics, Liberty

negative-equityIndividual liberty cannot exist in a country where un-funded obligations, plus its current debt, surpass the total value of all private assets. This is an immutable law of nature and is the condition that exists today in our country.

Approximately 12 trillion debt (source U.S treasury), 14 trillion Social Security obligation, 18 trillion (Rx Drugs) and 73 trillion Medicare Liability (source Federal reserve) = 118 trillion. All current U.S. private assets combined = 74 trillion. Simply stated, “Debt Kills Liberty”.

This sobering choice is clear, we must stop the federal governments extra constitutional spending, borrowing and printing of money or forfeit the American Revolution and individual liberty.

If that statement seems an exaggeration, consider the possibility of California’s state government failing. Decades of abusive taxes, spending and regulation could make California the General Motors of States. Is it possible for the Federal Government to take a state into receivership? Can you hear the argument now “California is too big to fail”? How safe is Maryland? Can we tell the Federal Government to cease and desist commandeering our legislative and regulatory processes if we are “on the take” (9% current budget subsidized by stimulus Source U.S. treasury).

If state tax revenue drops 10% in 2010, due to our current economic slowdown, we have an approximate 20% structural deficit in 2010-2011. Fellow Patriots insist now, State government spending must be cut and substantially. This will free us from dependence on Federal subsidies and give us solid footing for nullification legislation to stop future extra-constitutional spending. Our state can reestablish solvency and has precedent to nullify current and proposed extra constitutional Federal legislation.

More insidious than state governments failing is willful devaluation of our currency. The treasury has printed 3-4 times the dollars in circulation in the last handful of years. This gives the federal government unprecedented leverage to buy liberty from citizens in exchange for promised security. It is our duty to rebuild the levy between centralized tyranny and individual liberty.

I urge fellow patriots to commit to personal responsibility/ self-reliance and end our dependency on the failure of centralized authority.
