Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Higher Taxes

J.J. Jackson* | June 26, 2005 

On Thursday, June 23rd, 2005 the Supreme Court of these United States declared war on the people. On that dark day, five black robed tyrants, issued a decision that rewrote our unalienable rights as Americans; something that the term ?unalienable? meaning derived from God was supposed to prevent. Judicial fiat has rewritten the words upon which our nation is founded and trumped the private property rights of citizens and these self made gods wiped their rear ends with Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The words that we are ?endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness? have been changed. Now, apparently our rights are really government?s rights and are now to be read as ?Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Higher Taxes?.

Am I angry? No. I am not angry — I?M PISSED OFF!

I cannot believe for a minute that this ruling which says that government has the right to take your property and give it to someone else so they can make more money was even conceived much less agreed to by a majority of those that have been entrusted to uphold the rights of Americans.

All For The Public ?Good?

In rationalizing this horrendous destruction of our rights Justice John Stevens wrote for the majority “The city has carefully formulated an economic development that it believes will provide appreciable benefits to the community, including - but by no means limited to - new jobs and increased tax revenue.” (article)
