No We Do Not Have to Shrug... Do We?

So do we shrug or do we take back the ship, plug the holes and make the Looters walk the plank? Who's territory is it. Do we have to leave or do they? In 1776, the Producers sent the Looters back to England. Looters and their Royal sympathizers got on ships and evacuated the 13 states. Then a home grown crop of Looters burrowed their way back in with the same promises. Always promising "Protection and Safety". "Protection and Safety". "Protection and Safety". "Protection and Safety". "Protection and Safety". Layer after layer of "Protection and Safety". Not even a promise they could keep no matter how much money or freedom they extract as the price. Never trust the promise of "Protection and Safety". It is the "Stone Soup" tale over and over again.

    Sink the ship and you take a terrible chance that what replaces it will not offer more freedom but less. The tendency is to govern under the cloak of fear and intimidation.

    $100,000 a year is about $78,000 less than every one of those pea pickin' idiots get now and if they all had to split just $100,000 and still pay rent they would be a little more careful with the money they steal from us. Bet they would learn to count the change in their pockets anyway.

    education is a long process. We'd be lucky to get the freedoms back to the level of the 1990s let alone true freedom back in 20 years. the fastest way is to sink the ship. if you look at recent history, the countries that have moved towards more freedom have done so because they lost their best and brightest and they fall into economic chaos. in order to get back on track, they have to attract producers back. I'm not willing to wait. I want more freedom for my children-let alone my grand children
