OK, here I go. I’m placing myself on every “watch list” imaginable. After reading about the draconian GOP budget which will leave us with a $26 trillion debt in ten more years and hearing so-called “good government” types praise it and Democrats sniveling as they condemn it, I have decided that we the people should go on strike. The Democrats will spend us into oblivion over night. They will promise the moon, and when the government is too broke to deliver, they will implement their perfect collective society. The Republicans cry about big unconstitutional government and whine about overspending, but lack the courage to take the REALLY BIG STEP to correct the lousy course we’re on. Nickel and diming is precisely what they propose…nickels and dimes when trillions are needed.
How do we implement a strike that would be effective? If you are one of those taxpayers who pays quarterly, and you have a payment due on the 18th, escrow that puppy…apply for an extension…use every delaying tactic you can to gum up the works. After all, the politicians and bureaucrats have been gumming the works for years. Every time you get one of those “Alert” letters from either party or the AARP, write something educational on the form and send it back without money…WITHOUT MONEY. Make them pay the bulk return postage.
If any government agent from any government agency comes to your property for any reason, demand a warrant before you grant access. Community survey agents, health inspector, agriculture department…any government agent should present a warrant (remember, a warrant requires probable cause that a crime has been committed). Ninety per cent of government visits do not involve a crime, so the demand for the warrant will be like throwing sand in their gears.
Vote against every tax at every level. You might lament, “What about the schools?” Well, when the feds stop interfering in education (a state and local matter), and the federal Department of Education shrinks to nothing, then you and I might have the resources to help the local schools. Another option is to get the local school board to resist and prohibit ANY federal involvement in the school. It would be “nullification” on a mini scale.
The boneheads and clowns in government do not listen to us. They hear only that group of takers who want more from government…more from your sweat, your taxes. It’s time we stopped listening to them. Stop inviting them to your social affairs. Stop giving them free meals and places of honor. Treat them like the 3rd century lepers they resemble. They ignore you, lie to you, or they say what they believe you want to hear, and then do as they please while mollifying the looters of the world. Banish them from your functions. They are unworthy of your consideration because it’s clear they truly do not value you or our country more than their own pathetic careers.
We see the disaster ahead as our nation, states and communities rush toward the precipice at break neck speed. We are horrified by what we observe, and yet, the politicians and bureaucrats are holding the throttle wide-open until the next election cycle…as they always have. Speaker Boehner, Mr. Cantor, Mr. Ryan…$400 billion per year is like peeing in a hurricane when the annual short fall is $1.65 trillion. Majority Leader Reid, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Schumer…go home. You’ve done enough damage already. If you continue the destructive path you’re following, you should read some French history from the final decade of the 18th century.
Can this little strike be effective? Probably not unless it goes viral. I am so darn frustrated with liberals, progressives, socialists, statists, moderates, neocons, conservatives…a pox on them all! All I want are patriots…patriots…patriots who will defend my personal liberty…my life, my labor and my property. What we have is a bunch of looters who want my labor, my property and want to control my life. Give me Liberty.
