Credit Card Law Another Means of Redistributing the Wealth
David L Lamon
The more I read the easier it is to see what is happening with this credit card law and its real intended effects on the people of America. People that pay their credit card bills on time and/or live by the rules are going to subsidize those that don’t. This is another of Obama’s methods of redistribution of wealth or put plainly communism agenda. He said he was going to transform America but during the campaign he did not detail those changes. It is only since he actually took control of the presidency that we now see what he meant. He has already used the majority of the stimulus money (all American’s tax dollars whether or not you supported him) that has been spent, paying off his supporters. The economy in case you haven’t noticed still ain’t stimulated but going down the slippery slope. My problem with millions of Americans is because they are so absorbed in the pleasures of life and not paying any attention to how their freedoms are being taken from them on a daily basis will one day soon demand I and those that are paying attention and trying to get everybody to awaken pay for their living because they will be helpless. I tell you now I am not very sympathetic with these lunatics; however, I will always be willing to help those that can’t help themselves but not through neglect. I am beginning to wonder if enough Americans will ever see Obama for what he is. Oh no, there is that most powerful little word again “is”. We better wake up soon and impeach this communist and throw his communist cronies out before it is too late. I know, some of you think I am being too hard on the guy but I tell you I have done my homework on this thug from the mob of Chicago and I call a spade a spade and you that think I am being too hard will awaken one day soon and scratch your head and ask, “what has happened to the America I used to live in” and “oh my, my children and grandchildren have no future for living free again”. But you just keep absorbing yourselves in your pleasure mad state of being and stay in denial and you will see your reward. Maybe this will help you see where we are in America.
In a study done by Dixie Lee Ray, he noted that throughout the history of great democratic nations, they endured about 200 years before their fall from power and subsequent disintegration. In every case there appears to be a clear-cut sequence of stages:
From bondage to spiritual faith.
From faith to great courage.
From courage to liberty.
From liberty to abundance.
From abundance to complacency.
From complacency to selfishness.
From selfishness to apathy.
From apathy to dependency.
And from dependency back again into bondage.
Do you see the United States somewhere in this sequence? Has our great country been so compromised and corrupted that we’re now willing to march in lock step to our doom in the footsteps of other fallen nations? A British historian Alexander Tyler once said, “ A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government; they will only exist until the people find that they can vote money for themselves from the treasury and until the politicians find that they can distribute that money in order to buy votes and perpetuate themselves in power. Hence, democracies always collapse over weak fiscal policy to be followed by a dictatorship.
True Trickle Down Theory
Abraham Lincoln, “not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” A government that is anxious to give alms to as many people as possible is even more anxious to commandeer their earnings.” Witness, through Federal, State, and local taxes, a man/woman pays 40% or better of their income in taxes. One might ask, “Why have we become a nation of such horrific lawlessness?” One of the main reasons is when the state becomes the violator of liberty and property rather than its guarantor; it debases respect for all law. People in society develop an increasing disrespect and disregard for what the law demands. They view the law as the agent for immorality in the form of legalized plunder for the benefit of some at the expense of others, and this same disrespect and disregard sooner or later starts to creep into dealings between individuals (trickle down theory). Society verges on the brink of lawlessness. Stop and think, when individuals began to ask government to do things for them, rather than merely to secure rights and property, they began asking government to violate others rights and property for their benefit. Just take a look at how Obama has already made of farce of the constitution with all these bailouts by taking over companies, firing people and setting wage controls. Tell me, where in the constitution does he get this authority? These reasons above are grounds for impeachment. High Crimes and Misdemeanors, which is only one of the constitutional ways to impeach him means simply “bad behavior”.
An Example of the Current House, Senate, and Presidency
An example would be the leftist liberals (Democrats) demand that no one in America has a right to own property. Amendment 5 of the Constitution says private property can’t be taken for public use without just compensation, and yet (without compensation) we see story after story especially during the Clinton administration where the government (unchecked or unregulated agencies run amuck) goes in someone’s backyard and finds a mud puddle and declares it a wetland or finds a plant, that they think might be extinct and seize the people’s property in the so-called interest of preserving natural resources, again without just compensation. And most recently a little fish has shut down prime farm land in California that feeds America and has created over 40% unemployment not to mention years of hard work nurturing trees and bushes that have now died because the EPA won’t let them have water. And now we learn very recently an old Aluminum company in Montana is closing down because of the communist running the EPA and the Ninth Circuit Court will not allow them to have energy to run their company. To sum up the liberal’s feelings concerning property rights, Peter Berle (president of National Audubon Society; board member Sierra Club) a well-known (Democrat) liberal leader said, “We liberals reject the idea of private property.” Put that in your pipe and smoke it Democrats! Are you starting to see where your Party has gone?
Ultimate Goal is Tyranny
One of the first goals of tyranny is to create fear in the population, fear so paralyzing that the public will accept any measure to allay it. Make the threat onerous enough and the people will relinquish everything. The government is always presenting us with a crisis, whether it is health care, terrorism, crime, environmental or whatever they dream up. We the people are left with two choices, be consumed with the crisis or let the government solve the threat of the day by limiting, constraining, or removing freedoms. Remember the old Aesop fable about the horse tormented by a boar. Exasperated, Horse asked Man for help. “Certainly,” said Man, “I shall help you, but first you must let me saddle you up.” Agreeing to the terms, Horse found his problem quickly resolved, but found too, the price extracted was weighty: Horse’s freedom. Of course, the moral of this story applies directly to what we see happening in America today, which is a frightened and tormented people that is willing to horse-trade away its fundamental freedoms. Test yourself; are you afraid of the IRS? Do you have confidence in the FBI? Are you satisfied with the job being done by the BATF, CIA, CPSC, DEA, EEOC, EPA, FCC, FDA, FDIC, FERC, FTC, NLRB, OSHA, and SEC? What about the ATBCB, CFTC, FCA, FEC, FHFB, FMC, NCUA, NMB, NTSB, NRC, PBGC, PRC, SBA, SSA, USITC, AND USPS? Who’s checking up on all these agencies? Who’s looking for corruption? If corruption is found, who’s prosecuting? Who’s assuring justice will be served? Did you know that for every law passed by Congress, un-elected bureaucrats in government agencies pump out on average 18 new regulations, each with the force of law? If you checked the U. S. Constitution, you would find this sort of run amuck federalism isn’t allowed. When these powerful government agencies go astray and they do and will in the future, and your freedoms are at odds with the powerful central government, whose side will win? As Voltaire noted, “It is dangerous to be right when your government is wrong.” Another of our great founding fathers (Thomas Jefferson) imparted a bit of wisdom to us when he said, “When the government fears the people, there is liberty, but when the people fear the government there is tyranny.
Our Responsibility
U. S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Houghwout Jackson put it simply: “It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.” This justice’s comment is a far cry from what we hear from these “liberal lawmaking judges” today. “We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts, “said Abraham Lincoln, “not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”
As For Obama Himself
Teddy Roosevelt saw through this deception: “Patriotism means to stand by the country; it does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.” How about our patriotism for Clinton or was it patriotism? I believe it was because of our huge population of Baby Boomer’s reliance on 401-K’s; we stood by him by a consistent 73% during his perjuring of himself and having sex with Lewinsky in the White House, plus the rotgut humanistic educational teaching in our public schools. Let me show you how easy it is for the government to gain control of someone’s mind? All the government has to do to gain control of the people’s mind is to gain control of their pocketbook. With the exception of some of the Fortune 500 companies, everyone’s retirement has been diverted into 401-K’s (stock market) and then they throw in a smidgen of fear tactics and zap they’ve got em’. Sounds like a recipe doesn’t it? The 401-K was put in place specifically for this purpose, which is nothing more than a tool of fear. Last year (2000) the average loss on 401-K retirement plans was around 18% and since this trend continues. This should make it obvious to everyone by now how the federal government uses this tool for control purposes. Fear tactics is only one of many tools that will be revealed so stay tuned. Here is a quote from one of our founding fathers and another great American on this subject:
Ben Franklin
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety (security) deserve neither liberty nor safety (security).”
If a nation values anything more than its freedom, it will lose it says William Somerset Maughm. Furthermore, if its comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.
To ignore what is written here by blowing it off and go indulge in so more pleasure so as to not deal with reality as so many will do will bring to fruition the scripture, we will reap what we have sown.
