When should we abandon a sinking ship?
I decided to write this based on the post I seen on a Internet.
But at least I’d gotten exposed to enough good reading to understand that no one owed me anything, that I had to earn everything that I wanted.
I feel more grown-up than most when it comes to lacking a sense of entitlement.
Not only am I not entitled to goods and services, or a job, healthcare, dental or shelter. I also have to earn the goodwill of those whose help I’d count on in case disaster struck and I hadn’t prepared sufficiently.
Even if I had no loving relatives or concerned friends to rely on, however, I still wouldn’t demand the tax-born kindness of strangers. Any charity I would receive would have to be voluntarily given. And there should be enough shame involved to keep me from growing to rely on it forever.
This is not a popular sentiment these days. Every effort is made by the intelligentsia and the media to convince people of the opposite…
We are all children, they tell us. We need to be taken care of. And we are all owed something by someone else. That’s what governments are really for. They guide. They prohibit. They shuffle earned income to grasping hands. And they’re proud of it…
Here are two posts I copied word for word below:
“One side of Canadian politics considers the modern welfare state — a private-enterprise economy, but one in which society’s winners are taxed to pay for a social safety net — morally superior to the capitalism red in tooth and claw we had before the New Deal. It’s only right, this side believes, for the affluent to help the less fortunate.
“The other side believes that people have a right to keep what they earn, and that taxing them to support others, no matter how needy, amounts to theft. That’s what lies behind the modern right’s fondness for violent rhetoric: many activists on the right really do see taxes and regulation as tyrannical impositions on their liberty.
“There’s no middle ground between these views.”
There is no middle ground.
We are dealing with absolutes immovable objects and Puppet Government unquestionably on the side of evil.
Theft is wrong. No matter how you try to sanctify it, theft is a sin. But our government does not care.
Done as pervasively and systematically as it is under the state, it is slavery on a sliding scale. When some of the fruits of your labor are forcibly taken away, what else do you call it?
People like Puppet Government like to pretend that as long as it’s not all of the fruits of your labor being stolen…as long as it’s some “reasonable” part decided upon by the those elected to office by those who covet…then it’s just fine.
Representative Democracy is, indeed, the worst kind of government. Unlike totalitarian communism — in which the state doesn’t pretend not to own everyone and their labor — Representative democracy allows its duped cattle to think that they’re free.
A man who thinks he’s free will work harder than a man who knows he is a slave. That’s why the democratic “capitalism” (it’s been socialist since the Social Security Act and the income tax) of North America managed to outlast the outright slavery of the Soviet Union. The duped slaves here out produced the very aware slaves over there.
But long-term quasi-slavery doesn’t work either. Transferring stolen lucre creates distortions that ultimately bring a civilization down. It creates disincentives among the producers while breeding helplessness among the net receivers. Representative Democracy eventually taxes the spirit that creates wealth to the point of death.
More than my advancing age, what makes me so very tired is that great minds have spent lifetimes writing, persuading, and proving that transfer schemes are a horrible idea…yet it’s the lies and ignorance that thrive.
Almost nobody knows who they are. The majority thinks ideas about honest money, honest toil, and refrain from theft and forces are all quaint, antiquated notions.
This majority may not have heard of Keynes…they may not have actually read Hobbes…but they believe what those men had to say: We are murderous brutes who would be poor, short-lived and utterly lost…unless we elect some of our most ambitious brutes and give them power over our lives.
It’s not just the immorality and destruction of violence-backed wealth transfers, however…
It’s the notions about human nature and the necessity of governments. It’s how people refuse to grow up, how they want to entrust responsibilities to strong and wise leaders, who ultimately come from the most pandering and avaricious among us.
The majority thinks that without government, we’d tear each out each other’s throats. No food would be grown and nothing would get done by the Invisible Hand. You need a very visible hand holding a weapon and directing the flow of things.
“Only government can decide what money is…”
“Only government can give us roads and schools…”
“Only government can make us deal fairly with each other…”
Like an abusive parent government and its enablers sap our self-esteem and foster our dependence.
But it needn’t be so. Almost as if by magic, slavery works better. Government transfers aren’t just wrong; they’re far less efficient at accomplishing the good they are supposed to do. Immoral…and far less efficient to boot! In fact, given enough time, they turn to harm.
Puppet Government promises: they have a plan, and it’s good for us.
And I’ll keep telling anyone who’ll listen about how dangerous they are and how they have never worked for the best interest of the people.
P.S.: I’m not kidding about fighting puppet governments and their plan to steal the wealth from every Canadian and myself.
And despite what the lovers of big government would have you think, I am not trying to incite any violence with my “rhetoric”…
My “ammunition” is their lies, and empty promises.
Direct Democracy one of the most powerful tools we could ever offer from slavery.
It will solve some of the harder questions like…
* Why all the central planners are disastrously wrong about human nature
* Why no one — through their old political system and owned party system — can a few make decisions for the many.
* Why is political system of Representative democracy immoral
* Why even “a little bit of government” so often gets to be too much
* How property comes into existence and how property ownership guarantees smart, sustainable use
* How Representative democracy would abolish war , because we would decide not some corporate take over of another country for their resources.
These are some things that many liberty lovers may not be too clear on themselves.
To Slaves the true believers in government, to get them out of the rut of mental dependency on the government…to show them that society would not fall apart if they were to gain ground against the slavery of government coercion…
I’d give to like-minded people the lovers of liberty or I say freedom from the shackles. It would provide a complete picture of liberty. It would show you how far freedom can go…and all the good things that freedom would bring…
We’d all be richer…and better able to enjoy our riches because the heavy burden of being owned by others and their power of control would be removed.
This would be wonderful
Copy for yourself and another to pass on to promote the case for Freedom.
“Retirement Holocaust!”
Madmen drunk on power and driven by greed are robbing YOUR retirement!
Most sickening of all, Governments fully endorses this bald-faced assault on your wealth.
But Dallas Hills is exposing this scam in his brand-new video presentation.

PLUS, he’ll show you how you could protect and even grow your wealth in spite of this scam, virtually spitting in the face of these elitist thieves. Don’t be a helpless victim of the “Retirement Holocaust”…
I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.
