…If people would not make certain decisions without government regulation, taxation and pull, then what business do politicians have forcing them? And if people would make these decisions anyway, then why do we need the government to interfere at all? The United States has a market, but it’s not a free market, especially in big business. America has profit-making companies and largely willing customers who trade with or purchase from those compani… Continue reading →
…n on racism from the left? What does racism have to with your positions on taxation, trade policy, immigration policy, socialized medicine or just about anything else? A racist is someone who elevates race as the most important factor in human affairs. When operating in the realm of government and politics, a racist wants to use government agencies, laws or the general rule of force to impose rights and standards according to race. I am not aware… Continue reading →
…ompletely gone. Everything is about government compulsion. Obamacare, high taxation, corporate cronyism, endless regulation, globalist socialism – they’re all based on compulsion. Nobody gets to participate in socialized medicine, environmentalist mandates or taxation voluntarily. Compulsion and coercion are not the same as reason. By making everything about compulsion and coercion, people gradually become less and less reasonable. We need a gover… Continue reading →
…ialist who’s likely an election fraudster. He’s imposing gun control, high taxation and further nationalization of the economy on a heavily unwilling population. The government has called all supporters of the prior, more conservative and more freedom friendly administration “terrorists” and insurrectionists. Sound familiar? In America, most of us are putting up with it all. We keep saying the next election will take care of it, though it never do… Continue reading →

…s. They’re the cause of war and other forms of injustice, such as punitive taxation, biased regulation and wealth redistribution. Envy and jealousy are also terrible emotional problems. Most people don’t engage in crime and care little about wealth redistribution or injustice. But they spend time resenting their friends, their neighbors, or perhaps ‘society’ in general for ‘being better off than I am.’ It’s really important—for your own sake, most… Continue reading →
…atons of misery… And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.” “I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people’ (10th Amendment). To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically… Continue reading →
…nistration—or as I call it, a regime—is one of initiating force. Increased taxation, increased regulation, coercion of people into government-controlled medical collectives, nationalization of entire industries’these are all policies of force. They’re no different, in principle, from what abusive kings, queens, czars, and dictators have always done. Democracy is no excuse, because nowhere is there a right for a 51 percent majority to vote away the… Continue reading →
…have it easier? What about the people who produce the income and make the taxation possible? The fact that this point goes largely unchallenged, by most Republicans as well as all Democrats, shows just how much our society has become one in which the people serve the government, rather than the other way around. Of course, strictly speaking, it’s not the people serving the government. It’s some people being forced to serve other people — politica… Continue reading →
…nsidered right — by the ruling elite — then becomes the force of law. From taxation to the amount of sugar in your soda, that’s the unwritten and unchallenged edict of our time. The “progressives” of our time are the people who seek to take us back in time, to the ancient creed of sacrifice and brother’s keeperism. Americans are not really ready for this, but it’s what we’re all increasingly going to get — absent a massive and complete course reve… Continue reading →
Obama promised to bring ‘change’ to America. Actually, his policies of taxation, government borrowing/spending, and wealth redistribution/regulation are merely an extension of what the government has been doing for decades. We keep doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. In one insidious respect, psychologically speaking, Obama has helped bring about some change. It’s not a good one, though. Consider the latest… Continue reading →
