If you’re giving something and getting nothing, somebody’s getting something and giving nothing. Think of what they’ve done with your sacrifices—your money, your time, and your life—and what you could have done with them. There’s nothing greater or good about their greater good; the country’s going to hell in a hand basket. We’re riding a ruination train downhill, the grade is getting steeper and steeper, and the engineer has it on full throttle.
You will sacrifice and sacrifice until there’s nothing left to sacrifice.
If we’re all responsible to everybody, what’s in it for you? How does it work, exactly? Can you claim anything—your production, property, expression, body, mind, life, or soul—for yourself? If you can’t, if everyone else has first claim to them, what can you claim for yourself? Do you give up everything for our eight billion fellow earth-citizens as they give up everything for you? Do you get one eight-billioneth of what’s nominally everyone else’s? Or is this supposed to be pure sacrifice—give up everything and receive nothing in return? If you give up everything, is there any you left?
It’s best not to think about such questions, they won’t get you anywhere but confused. What you do know is what you’ve been told your entire life: everything you do for others is good; everything you do for yourself is selfish and bad. Just look what happens when everyone pulls together in a cause greater than themselves, like war. Isn’t that a cause greater than yourself, maiming and killing people you don’t know? You must be doing it for the greater good, because you might be maimed or killed by those people you don’t know. Oh, you can’t let yourself think of it that way. Everyone has to pitch in.
Government must be a cause greater than yourself, because you spend several months every year working to pay your taxes. That’s a good chunk of money, and you and millions of other hard-working Americans pay it. People complain a bit, but everybody pays, because it’s necessary to keep the country running and fund all the great things the government does. Like what, exactly? You’re funding those wars, and a lot of money ends up in the pockets of people who are of no discernible benefit to you. A lot of it stays right there in Washington. And even with all the money they take in they are still $31 trillion in the hole. Stop it! You can’t let yourself think of it that way; we’ve got to have government.
Psalm 26:5
“I hate the assembly of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.”
Modern day translation: I will not comply with the sociopaths that gravitate to positions of power. I will display righteous anger when the masters of manipulation attempt to curtail my freedom.
When your government does more harm than good, it is time to abolish that government. It is long past that time, we will suffer under this communist regime until we stand up and throw it off.
From our Declaration of Independence: --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness….But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Even Elon Musks is becoming active in this: Elon Musk recently tweeted that the “WEF is increasingly becoming an unelected world government that the people never asked for and don’t want.”
Great post thank you.
Still too much faith in the system, in the courts, in law and order and still too much to lose for anyone to stand up and fight.
After the system collapses under its own weight or due to a Russian nuke, perhaps then people will take back what’s ours.
Although I’m getting more pessimistic as I get older, so I think the more realistic version is that people will be begging for communism to save them after any collapse.
There is no escape from the real tax. The printing press. As we lose the petro dollar and eventually the reserve currency status of the dollar, the dollar will be like Zimbabwe and Wiemar money. Worthless. And then what? Game time!
