The Federal Government is a Socialist Government with Departments & Agencies Adopted Over 100 Years to Prove It!

Uncle Sam, the thief, taking citizens for a ride!!!
"I'm for a flat tax -- as long as the flat rate is zero.
The object is to get rid of big government,
not find a new way of financing it." Harry Browne

The Socialist Abyss

by Eric Raines, 2/8/2012

[Author's Note: Below in the list of Communist Manifesto Planks there are comments below each plank illustrating how America's federal government laws, regulations, and executive orders have transformed the country to that economic philosphy which is directly opposed to America's free market capitalist foundation. The comments with a yellow-colored background were written by an unknown author.]

Many of us have viewed television programs, read articles in newspapers or on the net that attempt to explain the wasteful "emergency Keynesian stimulus” bill proposed by Comrade Obama (“one-term Barack”) and passed by CONgress (with emphasis on “CON”) that had absolutely NO effect on the economy except to line the pockets of Comrades who supported Comrade Obama --- State government comrades and Union comrades.

Many Americans (not enough) realize that the USA, the great bastion of what was once free enterprise capitalism has slipped rapidly (instead of slowly & imperceptibly over 100 years) down the ABYSS to Socialism where government owns and controls everything and we no longer have our individualist, Constitutional guarantee to pursue life, liberty, and happiness (property).

Sure, capitalists can become “irrationally exuberant” in their quest for greater profits when the Federal Reserve ("FED"), the monopolist devaluer of the currency and inflater of prices, creates a “bubble” by injecting trillions of dollars into the money supply buying treasuries and lowering interest rates.

This exuberance is a natural capitalist adaptive behavior for markets suffering under control of the FED and eventually results in federal government bailouts or, if your're not in the in-crowd, Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy which eliminates the weaker, poorly managed enterprises and enables restructured companies to begin again after learning from their failures.

Warren "the Great Bloviator" Buffett, a.k.a the “Oracle of Omaha”, the hyper-liberal Democrat who supports government theft from wealthy people and who bought "cash cow" insurance companies to become wealthy himself, has said that he invests only in businesses that he understands. If he can’t sift through the financial statements and all of the sometimes misleading boiler plate of a prospectus, then he won’t invest. This seems to be prudent advice for everyone. However, Warren might be searching for “a lost jigger of salt” when dealing with freedom from politics and socialist Democrat thinking.

If most of the bank-owned homes of victims of the current debacle had performed due diligence and strove to fully understand the loan contract that they signed instead being duped by high pressure sales people and falling for the really low monthly mortgage payment provided by the FED and government agencies (Fannie/Freddie) through lenders, then much of the problem would not have occurred.

Artificially low interest rates instituted by the FED are mostly to blame along with government statutes and regulations that enabled houses to be sold to buyers with no income. These loans were given the facetious acronym --- N. I. N. J. A. --- for No Income, No Job or Assets. Government gave people houses by law! The old adage --- if it’s too good to be true, then it is --- is never more TRUE than it is today. Every person is ENTIRELY responsible for their decisions whether those decisions are successful or failures even though government is generally the cause of the financial failure.

BUT, our wonderful, “helpful” government (“Hi, I’m from the government and I’m here to help!”) in an extremely expensive attempt to provide a solution to this Keynesian “emergency” has unveiled more government “help” (Keynesian debt) that will take more power (liberty) away from productive citizens and private enterprise to “help” the poor, irresponsible victims of this government-caused and lender-implemented economic catastrophe based on the false mathematical model of forever increasing home values.

This government “help” has weakened the economy and will for decades to come by drastically increasing inflation and destroying the dollar’s buying power. Citizens, companies, and markets will eventually experience a ‘70s (Nixon) decade with hyper-inflation and little growth.

If government really wanted to empower people (instead of government) and really stimulate the economy, then government would have abandoned plans for the $787 billion ($787,000,000,000), printed-funny-money distribution and eliminate all laws and taxes that impede business. Banks didn't need the money evidenced by how quickly the "government loans" were returned with interest. After a short (1-2 years), deep recession, such a move by government to get out of the way would have really and truly stimulated the economy.

Unfortunately, given the current SOCIALIST path of our government for the last 100 years (Teddy Roosevelt, the first to mention income tax, should have clubbed himself in the mouth with his progressive Big Stick), the inevitable end result after the government has wrested total control from citizens will be Karl Marx’s Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto:

  1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.

    2. Americans' "private" property pays government with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership).

  2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

    3. Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. Our foolishly elected "mis-Representatives" call it "paying your fair share".

  3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

    4. Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.

  4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

    5. Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...).

  5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

    6. Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.

  6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.

    7. Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.

  7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

    8. Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read "controlled or subsidized" rather than "owned"… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.

  8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

    9. Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.

  9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.

    10. Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.

  10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.

    11. Most pre-12th grade students in schools today attend "public" schools funded by taxes on property (see Plank #1 above). Fortunately, we still have private-schooled and home-schooled children who learn about America's Constitution and Capitalism instead of the failures caused by the Communist Manifesto.

Reading and understanding the above description of Socialist America, NOT the America of the Constitution or the capitalist America before 1913, should cause REAL citizens to DEMAND that future CONgress's and Presidents begin (and finish) the process of restoring the limited federal government envisaged, designed, and developed by the founders. Today's federal government usurps power and money from the people like a gang of mobsters.

The only NECESSARY government departments are Defense, State, and Treasury. ALL AGENCIES and PROGRAMS that are not part of those departments are UNNECESSARY! The federal government needs to be restored to the original intent of the founders when they spoke and wrote of limited government to avoid a king and/or dictator in a totalitarian state environment. Ask yourself what you receive from the current government that is necessary beyond those three departments.

 

Why Do We Need Term Limits?

John Adams said, “Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey”. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.

  1. Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
  2. Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
  3. Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
  4. Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
  5. Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.

    6. Term limits for lawmakers: when is enough, enough?

[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]
