Wow, Neal goes on a great big rant today about people who should not be allowed to vote.  For the most part I agree with him.  I am of the opinion that there needs to be some criteria you need to pass (other than having survivied to be 18) in order to be allowed to vote.  My dad came up with one, that you get one vote for every $10,000 you pay in taxes per year.  Not sure I completely agree with that one, but it couldn’t be worse than what we have now.  Maybe have that be a cutoff, you don’t get to vote unless you pay $10,000 in taxes per year, but you only get one vote.  We have to have some way of keeping people from voting themselves the ability to steal other peoples stuff.

If you squandered every opportunity for an education to end up an unemployable semi-literate loser, that’s your problem, not mine. If you’ve destroyed your health with cigarettes and fast food … then by what right do you demand that people who lived their lives more responsibly than you cover the cost of your medical care. You cry about your “right” to health care. You dare to claim a right to the services of another human being to correct problems you created for yourself? Further, if it is more important for you to spend your money on a cell phone, flat-screen televisions, the best new car, meals at expensive restaurants and fancy vacations than it is to spend your money on a health insurance policy .. then you should be on your own. Don’t beg the government to steal from someone else so that you don’t have to change your lifestyle.

And a word for you welfare brood mares out there. That’s right .. welfare brood mares .. it’s time for someone to call you out for what you are. Perhaps one of the greatest social wrongs a person can commit in this country is to have a child that you cannot afford to care for. Do you really think that it’s perfectly OK for you to get yourself knocked up, download your baby, and then tell the taxpayers “Hey, look what I did! Now you folks cough up the money I need to take care of this child.” Yeah .. that’s what America is all about .. and you’re going to be right there in November to vote for Hillary, aren’t you. In fact all of you are: the uneducated and unmotivated, the “I’m not responsible for my own health care” crowd, and the single moms. All of you want someone else to step in and take care of you after you’ve screwed up your own lives, and who better than Hillary, a woman more than ready to use the police power of government to reward you for your votes.

You do know, don’t you, that you have absolutely no constitutional right to cast a vote in this presidential election. No .. you probably don’t know that. That would mean you are educated, but you’re not. You were educated by the government … and the government sure isn’t going to disclose that inconvenient little fact to you. Somehow the media in this country has bought the politician’s about this “right to vote.” It’s not there. Doesn’t exist. And to save this country we need to figure out a way to get tens of millions the parasite class off the voter roles. Welfare? No vote. Illiterate? Stay home on election day. Begging for the government to be your lifetime nanny? Let the doers, the achievers cast the votes. Just stay away.

Historians have said that this country will start to slide when the people learn that they can vote largess for themselves out of the public treasury. Well, you’ve learned, and now you’re heading to the polls later this year to vote for government as an instrument of plunder .. plunder for you .. plunder to pay you for your votes. It’s all about you, your wants and needs. Look for the politician who promises to transfer the most wealth from the achievers to you … and that’s the politician who gets your vote. You don’t care even a little bit about the type of America you’ll leave generations to come … it’s all about you, right now, right here.

Don’t you have some soap operas you need to catch up to on election day?

Wealth envy is nothing new. In fact, we can thank wealth envy for our current income tax system. When the 16th Amendment income tax was being sold to the American people the proponents of a new federal income tax needed a way to get people to ask their states for ratification. Wealth envy was the key. The people were told that only rich Americans would ever have to pay the income tax, and virtually all of these rich people lived in the Northeast; generally in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New York. The voters in states like Michigan or Kentucky had nothing to worry about. They would reap the benefits of all of this new federal spending without having to pay a part of the tab. Only the evil rich would be hit. The 16th Amendment sailed through.

You know, I think that what most of the people fail to realize is that government likes to play with wedges. The original issue of getting the 16th Amendment ratified was a wedge to enable the government to levy more and more taxes upon the people and to concentrate power in Washington. Everyone in Washington realized this fact, but, as was evident by how people reacted to the proposal, most people outside Washington did not. If they had, they would surely have shouted down this obscenity, for who wants government overlords constantly looking over your shoulder asking “how much money have you made today?”, or telling you “you can’t spend your money on that”? People did not, and still do not, realize that the government is taking us by a divide and conquer tactic. They divide us on the issue of the income tax, getting it passed so only the “rich” have to pay it. Once they have the wedge in the door, they can then expand the tax to lower incomes, because the “poor” still don’t have to pay, so vote for it, and the rich are now already paying, so why should they bother voting against it, because if they do, they are hamstringing themselves in the competitive market, so now the tax has spread lower, and will continue to do so until everyone is covered. They divide us on prostitution, gambling, and drug laws, and get away with it because the majority does not indulge in the activity prohibited. In prostitution, the majority do not want to appear in the eyes of their neighbors as adulterers, so they go along with the laws against prostitution, not realizing that the government is driving in a wedge to restrict behavior more and more down the road. Prostitution is illegal in almost every state because the people didn’t fight to keep government out of their private lives. Next government takes another step in controlling your lives, like they did in Georgia. If that succeeds, which thankfully it is looking like it will not, they will take another step, if it does not succeed, do you really think they won’t try again, only next time they will limit the law a little more so it will get passed, maybe only ban certain types of sex toys, instead of all of them. Drugs are classified according to schedules of restrictions, with those that are deemed to have “a high potential for abuse” and “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.” to be illegal. We are finally starting to get some push back on the classification of Marijuana, but only because it has been deemed to have some medical benefit. This is the wrong reason to be pushing back. The reason to be pushing back is because it is not the governments business what you do with your body! Who are they to be telling you what you can and cannot smoke, what you can and cannot inject, what is and is not bad for you? And do you think it will stop there? Are you kidding? (Each word is a separate link, you should read them all)

The fact that people are blinded by envy of what someone else has or does is just what the government uses to drive in the wedge. Don’t like it that your neighbor makes 10 million a year? Well, we’ll hit him with taxes for you and give some of that money to you! Do you think that there is someone who might be more poor than you are that will hit you next? Don’t like it that your neighbor goes to a brothel every night and gets all the poon tang he wants? Well, lets pass a law against that. Do you think that there may be someone out there more puritanical than you that doesn’t like what you do in your bedroom? Don’t like it that your neighbor enjoys pissing away his paycheck gambling and not providing for the upkeep of his property? Well, let’s pass a law against that. Do you think that there is someone else that doesn’t like some of the things you spend your money on? We must not forget that government is force, and that it can be used against you just as easily as for you.

If people were to look at any laws that the government passes as wedges to get their foot in the door, not as laws that benefit the majority of the people, because that’s never how they’re designed, then, and only then, would we cry “Stop! We don’t want that!”. The problem is, how do you educate the people on this, when government controls most channels of communication? Well, you’re reading it now.  I think we have a unique opportunity with the rise of the internet, if we can keep the government from regulating it long enough, to educate the people against the evils of government, and to make some real progress back towards a free society.

Sorry I’m so late with this, life has been keeping me busy…

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters:

I sincerely regret to inform you that about 8:00 this morning a dozen FBI and Secret Service agents raided the Liberty Dollar office in Evansville.

For approximately six hours they took all the gold, all the silver, all the platinum and almost two tons of Ron Paul Dollars that where just delivered last Friday. They also took all the files, all the computers and froze our bank accounts.

We have no money. We have no products. We have no records to even know what was ordered or what you are owed. We have nothing but the will to push forward and overcome this massive assault on our liberty and our right to have real money as defined by the US Constitution. We should not to be defrauded by the fake government money.

But to make matters worse, all the gold and silver that backs up the paper certificates and digital currency held in the vault at Sunshine Mint has also been confiscated. Even the dies for mint the Gold and Silver Libertys have been taken.

This in spite of the fact that Edmond C. Moy, the Director of the Mint, acknowledged in a letter to a US Senator that the paper certificates did not violate Section 486 and were not illegal. But the FBI and Services took all the paper currency too.

The possibility of such action was the reason the Liberty Dollar was designed so that the vast majority of the money was in specie form and in the people’s hands. Of the $20 million Liberty Dollars, only about a million is in paper or digital form.

I regret that if you are due an order. It may be some time until it will be filled… if ever… it now all depends on our actions.

Everyone who has an unfulfilled order or has digital or paper currency should band together for a class action suit and demand redemption. We cannot allow the government to steal our money! Please don’t let this happen!!! Many of you read the articles quoting the government and Federal Reserve officials that the Liberty Dollar was legal. You did nothing wrong. You are legally entitled to your property. Let us use this terrible act to band together and further our goal – to return America to a value based currency.

Please forward this important Alert… so everyone who possess or use the Liberty Dollar is aware of the situation.

Please click HERE to sign up for the class action lawsuit and get your property back!

Thanks again for your support at this darkest time as the damn government and their dollar sinks to a new low.

RichmondLiberty.org: “East Ashland” to join fray of supercommunities?
The Ashland Town Council may vote tomorrow on a proposed 101-acre development, which will include 200 homes and a shopping mall. Last month’s public hearing drew 100% public opposition. As always, the choice is between the community and a single developer looking to fill his pocket, all he can offer the council is to write a check. Will every unclaimed piece of ground in Virginia have the same fate? How many developers are out there marking up our state?

I don’t see how this site considers itself to be “libertarian” when it is advocating for government (even local ones are bad) to take control of private property and tell the owner what they can and cannot do with it.  Someone needs to read the Mises article “Zoning is Theft“

Yesterday in the Senate, an amendment failed that would have cut government funds (your tax dollars) to provide healthcare for middle-income children and adults without children under the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. The program was originally supposed to cover poor children, not middle income children. Now the Democrats want to expand this coverage, and Republicans have failed to block it.

Meanwhile, in the House, the Democrats are trying to expand the SCHIP program to middle income families.. including parents. The effect of this expansion would be twofold: First, many middle income families who already carry health insurance would drop that insurance like a radioactive roach and sign on the toe SCHIP welfare version. Second, costs would soar .. into the hundreds of billions of dollars in no time flat.

In the House the Democrats have been trying to ram through these changes without allowing the Republicans to offer any amendments to the bill, and without affording the opposition any meaningful time to argue against the bill on the floor.

What we’re seeing here is simply an attempt to bring Hillarycare – socialized medicine – quietly through the back door. The couldn’t do it in one swell foop under Hillary, now they’ll just try to do it incrementally.

Remember the prime motivation here. It is NOT to provide health care to children. No children are denied healthcare under our present system. The motivation is to make more and more people dependent on government for their health care. That is exactly what happens when millions of Americans drop their privately held health insurance plans and opt to go into a government welfare health care plan like SCHIP. Once these people are dependent on government, instead of themselves, for their healthcare, politicians have them by the short hairs.

Something that Neal forgot to mention, just remember that it’s not only those that opt into plans like these that have put themselves on the short leash, but they are also putting you on the leash as well.  How, you ask?  Well, you do pay your taxes like a good little citizen don’t you (how can you not, they have the guns)?  Where do you think the money to pay for these people who have opted into these programs comes from, a money tree out back of the white house?
