America's Socialists Just Don't Get It

America's Socialists just don't get it!

Everyday I converse with people, most I do not know, and I am completely shocked by the lack of political understanding to what is happening to America.  Many are now professed Socialists.  You see, Socialists are focused on how big the government can expand, the Federal Government employes people.  Hence, an easy way to distribute tax dollars among America's population.  However, forgetting that the government doesn't produce anything and it's only objective is the redistribution of taxed wealth.

America's Socialists, given their agenda of wealth redistribution, should someday realize that when a country only creates money for redistribution and not the production of goods, something has to fail.

And fail it is! ... America cannot look at itself in a real mirror ... or it would see a reflection of Europe's decaying thirty years of Socialist rule.  Instead, America chooses to look in "The Fantasy Mirror", dreamed up by Walt Disney.  And it goes something like this ... America looks in that "Socialists Fantasy Mirror" and says ... "Mirror Mirror on the wall, what country in the world is the smartest of all"?  and the mirror replies, "America, you fool, because only America does things better than the rest of the world, the whole world is so envious of your socialists direction and all of you socialist politicians implementing those agendas".

I keep saying ... Socialists are killing the "Golden Tax Goose" and you know what happens when there is no more Golden Tax Goose ... THERE IS NO MORE TAX REVENUE FOR AMERICA.

If that isn't clear enough I will put this simply:  Socialists of America keep destroying manufacturing forcing them to move to other counties and over regulating "Right out of Business" all small businesses.

That's why you are seeing the tax revenue deficit in America.  America has run out of money to "Redistribute".     NOW What?  Socialists?

The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire ... Sorry, I Mean The United States of America

The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire ... Sorry, I Mean The Rise and Fall of "The United States of America"

History repeats itself just give it time.  I'm so sorry that I didn't believe in studying history because I felt that history 'Was the past' and that was like 'Water under the bridge' and there was nothing I could do about it.  I WAS WRONG!  At least if I had studied history I would have seen today's financial and political disaster comming.

You really need to read this article that was written in 1990 by Lawrence W. Reed.  He enlightens you to the correlation between the Great Roman Empire and the Great United States of America.

My conclusion is to send as many people this article by email as you can ... maybe we will find enough people out there in this country that will want to STOP TODAYS POLITICAL MADNESS!  "Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it."

The United States and the Roman Empire
by Lawrence W. Reed

Nearly four decades before the birth of Christ, the Roman orator Cicero offered this sound advice: "The budget should be balanced, public debt should be reduced, the treasury should be rebuilt, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall."

Well, the Romans didn't take his advice and guess what? Rome fell.

At nearly $3 trillion, our government's "national debt" represents an ominous recurrence of just what Cicero warned twenty centuries ago. If figures that large mean little to you, let's put it another way. If the national debt were in $1 bills, it would stack almost to the moon, fill 282,730 dump trucks, weigh as much as 2.14 million Oldsmobile Cutlasses, or buy enough food to feed the current population of Los Angeles for 978 years.

Government in ancient Rome grew to mammoth size for some of the same reasons ours has. The philosopher George Santayana may have had that in mind when he said, "Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it." Consider the following:
Long before Christ, a Roman politician named Clodius was elected to public office on a platform of "free wheat for the masses." When Julius Caesar came to power, he found 320,000 persons in Rome — a city of 1 million — on government grain relief.

Emperor Nero once declared, "Let us tax and tax again. Let us see to it that no one owns anything!" He may also have been the architect of the first urban-renewal program. He burnt a large portion of Rome to make way for a number of construction projects.

A few years later, another emperor dabbled in farm policy. To reduce production and raise the price of wine, he ordered the destruction of half of the vineyards in Rome's provinces.
The ancient government assumed the responsibility of providing the people with publicly funded entertainment and arts programs. One historian estimates the modem equivalent of $100 million a year was poured out in circuses and gladiator duels alone.

Welfare statists loved it in A.D. 274 when Emperor Aurelian made the right to relief hereditary and boosted welfare benefits considerably.
Businesses were pulverized under a burden of public hostility and excessive taxation and regulation. The masses demanded their handouts and the most productive in Roman society were made to cough up. Some of them, thinking they were buying time, actually supported those politicians and funded those institutions which were dedicated to their very destruction. What was left of their businesses was eventually confiscated and nationalized.

City administrations within the empire spent themselves silly and, beginning with the emperor Hadrian, were bailed out through a kind of "federal revenue sharing," with lots of strings attached. (After all, he who pays the piper sooner or later calls the tune.)
Spending to satisfy special interests and a soaring debt prompted the government to debauch the national currency. It imposed wage and price controls, seized the people's gold holdings, took the silver out of the coinage and manufactured junk money like there was no tomorrow. And for Rome, there wasn't.

The great empire expired in A.D. 476. It fell like a ripe plum to foreign enemies. When the barbarians walked into the city, many Romans actually welcomed them in the belief that anything was better than the tyranny of their own tax collectors and regulators.

It has been said that many civilizations have run their course by this pattern: From bondage to individualism to great courage to liberty to abundance, then from abundance to complacency to apathy to dependency and finally back to bondage again.

More to the point, what is called "Kershner's First Law" sums up what happened to Rome pretty well: "When a self-governing people confer upon their government the power to take from some and give to others, the process will not stop until the last bone of the last taxpayer is picked bare."
Are we going to continue letting it happen here?

VAT = Value Added Tax = Breaking The Back of America

VAT  =   Value Added Tax  =  Breaking The Back of America!  The Progressive Socialists Obama Regime.

Obama is accomplishing everything he said he would do if voted into Presidency.  Barack Hussein Obama didn't lie.  Obama in his campaign look you right in the eye, without a blink, and said "I'm going to level the financial playing field" and Barack Hussein Obama is doing just that.

I hope the BASTARDS that voted for Obama are satisfied with the success of this Progressive Socialists Regime! 

At mock speed, this administration has "voted in" spending programs, and tax programs that can never be reversed.  People, the money you make, for the most part, is going to go to the government, you know "The Black Hole, where your hard earned money disappears".  You will be able to keep just enough money to subsists.

Don't you see this ... The Obama Regime is Growing as fast as humanly possible.  Maybe so fast that you can't see the destruction of our (American Citizens) freedom, and the destruction of our Constitution.

Today Paul Volcker "In the Back Pocket of the Obama Administration" sent up a trial balloon to start the TAX COLLECTION program for more of your money in the form of taxing everything you purchase, EVERTHING.

LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ABOUT "VAT" BECAUSES THIS TAX WILL DEPELEATE HUGH AMOUTS OF YOUR DISPOSLIBLE INCOME.

Green is the New Red: Crackpots in Copenhagen ... This Is Going To Cost YOU Big Time.

Green is the New Red: Crackpots in Copenhagen ... Green ( socialists ) verses Red ( communists ).  People just look out, this is going to cost you big time ... Higher personal taxes, Higher cost of consumed products, Higher taxes on top of taxes.  YOU will have to pay pay pay.  All in the name of this MASSIVE WEALTH TRANSFER TO OTHER NATIONS.  Remember the United States is now and always has been the financial savior of the entire world.  How's that going to work for you?

Frustrated comments about this issue:

• I'm at a loss of how to get my 'friends and family' to see this.. so many have been indoctrinated into this new destructive religion.. and since they stand on thin ice,
  they are very defensive and don't listen...
  How could they ? How did Mao become a hero? What's wrong with all those people that they would destroy their own home to prove something that we already know is a lie?
  I don't know.. maybe they're right... I can see how destructive humans can be.. right here in Copenhagen and in America.
• Oh, Lord. Just heard on Fox. Unbelievable.
  Floated at Copenhagen -- they think we should lend money to China for Climate Change.
  We should lend them money which we borrow from them.
  Brilliant.
• Correction -- not "lend" money to China -- "give" money to China -- which we borrow from them, in order to give back to them -- because we're broke.  Simply Stupid !
• There isn't one bit of doubt left in me that AGW. or even any but normal Climate Change, is anything but a gigantic farce and fraud.
  This makes watching what's been going on, especially at Copenhagen, and with our president's EPA and Cap & Trade threats -- so sickening. Physically sickening.
  It's a perfect Ray Bradbury Twilight Zone story -- like looking into the past, watching what went on -- on some bizarro planet long ago and far away -- explaining why they no longer exist -- and how they self-destructed -- egged on by the greedy, the envious, the power-hungry and the gullible.
• "Instant Poverty and Oppression- just add Marxism the New Wonder cure for prosperous free societies. Class equality assured as all sink to the lowest common denominator.
  You almost have to feel sorry for these self-deluded, would-be activists who will have nothing to show for their efforts but frost bite and bruises while their sponsors are warm, dry and well fed."
• The irony is so thick...
  That the ONE country who habitually comes to the aid of other countries struck by any number of natural and social disasters with money, supplies, medicine and people should be the target of now FORCING them to set up a steady stream of money to dump into their Third World Train Wreck Circus is so deliciously ironic.

Barack Hussein Obama Wants to Transfer 70% Wealth to The 30% That Have Been Denied !

Barack Hussein Obama Wants to Transfer 70% Wealth to The 30% That Have Been Denied ! ... In large part by regulations on business = you.

The Heritage Foundation is constantly monitoring what the Government is doing.  In my opinion the Government wants to regulate the wealth in this country.  You see if business is so over regulated that they can't do business in the country or if they stay in business ...  Your cost of goods will rise to you ... Get it?  The cost of regulation is transferred to you as a consumer.  The only way around regulation increased cost to you is ... Don't loose me here!  ...  Don't be a consumer!  In my opinion, Barack Hussein Obama's administration wants to take money from seventy percent of the population and re-distribute that money to the thirty percent that have been denied this privilege.
I help the Heritage Foundation when they ask ... by replying to their emails when response from voters help make a point to our politicians.

I encourage you to sign up to ...  The Heritage Foundation's web site, and you can ask to be informed by email when important legislation decisions are being worked on ... Like this message.  Thank You

Millionaires Go Missing ... Maryland's fleeced taxpayers fight back.

The THE WALL STREE JOURNAL  (May 27 2009)  Another Story of "Redistribution of Wealth"

Here's a two-minute drill in soak-the-rich economics:

Maryland couldn't balance its budget last year, so the state tried to close the shortfall by fleecing the wealthy. Politicians in Annapolis created a millionaire tax bracket, raising the top marginal income-tax rate to 6.25%. And because cities such as Baltimore and Bethesda also impose income taxes, the state-local tax rate can go as high as 9.45%. Governor Martin O'Malley, a dedicated class warrior, declared that these richest 0.3% of filers were "willing and able to pay their fair share." The Baltimore Sun predicted the rich would "grin and bear it."

One year later, no-body's grinning. One-third of the millionaires have disappeared from Maryland tax rolls. In 2008 roughly 3,000 million-dollar income tax returns were filed by the end of April. This year there were 2,000, which the state comptroller's office concedes is a "substantial decline." On those missing returns, the government collects 6.25% of nothing. Instead of the state coffers gaining the extra $106 million the politicians predicted, millionaires paid $100 million less in taxes than they did last year -- even at higher rates.

No doubt the majority of that loss in millionaire filings results from the recession. However, this is one reason that depending on the rich to finance government is so ill-advised: Progressive tax rates create mountains of cash during good times that vanish during recessions. For evidence, consult California, New York and New Jersey.

The Maryland state revenue office says it's "way too early" to tell how many millionaires moved out of the state when the tax rates rose. But no one disputes that some rich filers did leave. It's easier than the redistributionists think. Christopher Summers, president of the Maryland Public Policy Institute, notes: "Marylanders with high incomes typically own second homes in tax friendlier states like Florida, Delaware, South Carolina and Virginia. So it's easy for them to change their residency."

All of this means that the burden of paying for bloated government in Annapolis will fall on the middle class. Thanks to the futility of soaking the rich, these working families will now pay Mr. O'Malley's "fair share."

This is another devastating example of how stupid our Politicians are.
