Who do you prefer to steal your money? Liberals, Unions, Global warmists, and the Free Shit Army? Or mega corporations, Wall Street, the military industrial complex, and the health industry complex?
The sad part is that today the working middle class is getting robbed by both.
So true, so true!
Amen. We are nothing more than walking ATM machines. I am so sick of this shit.
Who do I prefer to steal my money? Obviously N.O.T.A. Point well taken. But consider this…
Most of us here know that government has been interfering in the economy for the past 100 years, which has severely stifled economic development. But a large segment foolishly believes govt’s meddling has only occurred recently, and they misunderstand and underestimate the severity of these intrusions.
Up until the early 1900’s, economic problems were infrequent & modest due an economy based on Laissez-Faire. But then Uncle Sam began his malfeasance & manipulation. Every year, govt stepped up its criminal activity by invading & coercing the free market with unlawful rules, regulations, and mandates. This by itself is bad enough, but unfortunately for us the amount of real damage and contamination has been cumulative, and it’s been “compounding” each and every day for a century. Inevitably, the number of problems increase & expand almost exponentially. We’re now stuck & mired in perpetual depression.
The end result is that we have lost 100 years of added economic growth & production that should have occurred but didn’t! Incredibly, most people who do the heavy lifting (people who actually produce wealth) never contemplate this loss of their living standard.
For whatever reason, they’ve been unable to grasp or simply chose to ignore what has been happening to them. The rewards for their hard work and diligence have been robbed. Because of advances in technology & production efficiency, those who built up savings, borrowed judiciously, and spent their money wisely, should have enjoyed a boon in economic progress.
It’s mind boggling to have an understanding of what the country should look like today. I often speculate how much better my standard of living (and yours) would be had this enormous amount of economic progress not been suppressed. It’s the backdoor crime of the century. And what makes it even more frustrating is that this predicament is seldom understood by those who made the biggest investment and had the most to lose. Incredible.
I guess it’s just not that easy to see “what should have happened but didn’t”.
Stephan…Not to diminish your 100 years point, but the government regulations in the last 30 years have been immense. Just think what the EPA has done. Yes, EPA did a great job cleaning up the air we breathe, waterways, etc. And yes there is still some ongoing work to be done such as the closed mines, lakes, and other items, But the bulk of their work has been done. What to do, cut staffing in half? No, press on and generate more and more stifling regulations that hamper and inhibit growth of the economy.
EPA is a significant part of the plan to de-develop (de-industrialize) the U.S. The Free Trade deals are also a significant part of this process – they were a one-way job loss for the U.S. and supported by Dem’s and Rep’s.
Regulations support the big Corporations who have the heft and money to follow the regulations but the small business does not. In return these same Corp’s that control most of the media provide us with the news/commentary as dictated by the gov’t.
LMAO!
Seriously?
Is this some sort of a Trick Question, James?
“Who do you PREFER to steal your MONEY?”
LOL!!!
98% of the population ( the the Sheople) do NOT even have ANY “Money”!
All they have are either paper or digital FRN IOUs or “credits” for “Money”, and even those are within the Control of the counterfeiting BANKSTERS!
LOL!
What is your Home currently worth in ponzied fiat FRNs?
Convert that fiat price into Lawful Money U.S. Silver Dollars and sell it on the market for same!
Do you presume that you would somehow subsequently show a “Capital Gains”?
Do you suppose that the purchaser’s “property taxes” would not thereby be massively reduced, thus ‘Starving the Beast’?
And what does anyone otherwise imagine that any local “Tax Assessor’s” legal argument could be against a/ any Lawful Money Sale Price, since not only does the “supreme Law of the Land” / U.S. Constitution explicitly EXPRESS:
“No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;…or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts,” (such as Sales Contracts) U.S. Constitution Article I Section 10, Clause 1
Plus
Article VI, Clause 2:
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
Wake the Hell UP People / Citizens!
REDEEM the counterfeited/ponzied fiat FRNs / mere IOUs for “Dollars”, back into Lawful Money U.S. Dollars/”$” and take back your Republic & Liberty, or suffer the fate of fools!
For crying out loud, even the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26) provides the Massive Tax Write Off for doing such!!!

“All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.” President John Adams
“History shows that once an enormous debt has been incurred by a nation, there are only two ways to solve it: one is simply to declare bankruptcy – repudiate the debt. The other is to inflate the currency and thus to destroy the wealth of the ordinary citizen.”

“Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it….” Learned Hand, “The Spirit of Liberty,” speech at an “I Am an American Day” ceremony, Central Park, New York City, May 21, 1944
“For the saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanquished liberty is that is was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while there was still time.” Justice George Southerland (1862-1962)
It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a
prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty
to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude
is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his
guilt. John Philpot Curran (1750-1817)
If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.
This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
Frederick Douglass, “If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress”

Stephan and Rex – excellent posts.
Chattel slaver ended, and tax slaver replaced it.
I am just grateful people are waking up to this fact. Though I doubt we can end tax slavery.
NEXT phase ……. NO ONE is holding the money bag.
The phase after that ….

“They Have To Go”; Trump Vows To Deport All Illegal Immigrants
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/16/2015 10:27 -0400
“You’re going to love me on immigration,” Donald Trump told a crowd of reporters and fans who gathered in Iowa to hear the billionaire speak after he landed in a $7 million Sikorsky.
Trump, who drew sharp criticism in some circles after suggesting that Mexican immigrants were responsible for rape and drug addiction in the US, hasn’t backed down on calls for a tougher stance on immigration and to be sure, some voters share his views, even if they don’t necessarily agree with the rather uncouth way in which they were presented.
Trump’s call for the construction of a “wall” along America’s southern border is diametrically opposed to President Obama’s push to shield nonviolent immigrants from deportation. An executive order from the President designed to speed up efforts to overhaul immigration drew sharp criticism from Republican governors who moved to block the order earlier this year.
On Saturday, Trump told NBC’s Chuck Todd that if he were elected in 2016, Obama’s executive order would be immediately rescinded. In an exclusive interview given aboard Trump’s private 757, the GOP frontrunner also told Todd that he would deport all illegal immigrants. “They have to go,” he insisted. Here’s more:
Donald Trump would reverse President Obama’s executive orders on immigration and deport all undocumented immigrants from the U.S. as president, he said in an exclusive interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd.
“We’re going to keep the families together, but they have to go,” he said in the interview, which will air in full on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this Sunday.
Pressed on what he’d do if the immigrants in question had nowhere to return to, Trump reiterated: “They have to go.”
“We will work with them. They have to go. Chuck, we either have a country, or we don’t have a country,” he said.
Speaking on Trump’s gilded private plane as it idled on a runway in Des Moines, Iowa, the real-estate mogul and Republican presidential frontrunner offered the first outlines of the immigration policy proposals he’d implement from the Oval Office.
Trump said, to begin, “we have to” rescind Obama’s executive order offering those brought to the U.S. illegally as children — known as DREAMers — protection from deportation, as well as Obama’s unilateral move to delay deportation for their families as well.
“We have to make a whole new set of standards” for those immigrating to the US.
