People must fight government machine
How many wars can we the people fight?
We have a war in Iraq and Afghanistan that we are all aware of. How many of you understand there is a war right here at home, and your very freedom is at stake?
Your ignorance is about to enslave you, your children and your neighbor.
Giving up your choices to a government machine that only consumes your hard-earned money and then takes more and more, for some other cause or to protect us all from ourselves. You know, because we are all too stupid to know how to spend it.
Stop cheering and clapping when you hear a government official say we are going to spend or give money to anyone or anything.
It is not free. It is stealing from one and giving to another. It is theft!
Taking from producers and giving to nonproducers has always failed. Has no one out there ever looked at history. It removes the incentive to produce anything. If someone is going to steal it every time you make it, you will stop producing. The end result is no producers and a collapse of society.
It does not take a genius to figure this out, people. Eventually too many parasites kill the host. You are witnessing the hostile takeover of private companies, and now your very being will be controlled by the government, and some of you cheer?
You are not getting even with the rich or corporations. The middle class bears the burden of paying the taxes. Small businesses get slaughtered. No one has a job and game over.
You will not own a single thing. You had better find time to contact your congressmen. Call, fax, walk into the local office, go to D.C. this Thursday at high noon. It is what it looks like. Get your heads out of the sand now! Open your mouths to fight this. Your reps and traitors are voting on it this week, this is the end game.
Only liberty and freedom work. The freedom to succeed and the freedom to fail. Despise the free lunch, people! It comes at a very heavy price!
