Now that we have gotten the unimportant part over with, let’s get on to the real problem. My personal giving habits, are important only to me, although I did receive one letter from a reader who truthfully believes that some of the homeless are really worthwhile and can be helped. I don’t disagree, but not for me. We are generally adults as we were as children, or were raised as children, and it’s that way with me. I was exposed to railroads, old buildings, etc, as a child, and it stuck. I am probably a so-called ’snob,’ because I was a spoilt only child who was sent to a superb private school. I can’t help my up-bringing, only to be thankful for it, which I am!
The point is, that whether you wish to give to the homeless, or whoever or whatever you wish to give to, it will be a blessing to you. Suppose you were forced to give to a cause you despised? Suppose you were forced to give to a foreign nation you disliked, or a charity you hated? This is what is happening to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars every week, or maybe more. Your dollars, to the tune of $50 billion of them, and it will be more, believe me, has been sent to bail out Greece. I don’t want to bail out Greece, as it is their problem, not mine. The Germans have sent a lot more, to their loathing. Why do the Greeks deserve to be bailed out? Because their politicians, like those in D.C. have spent and spent, and spent, in order to get re-elected, and they have bankrupted Greece, just like the D.C. Gang has bankrupted America. The politicos in Spain and Portugal have done the same thing. No citizen in Greece, Spain, or Portugal voted to bankrupt their respective nations, and neither did we, but it happened, thanks to a small group of politicians in every nation.
Politicians have ALWAYS invented causes, bureaucracies, departments, and cabinet positions, which cost huge sums of dollars, and now euros, which will “benefit,” “protect,” or some such nonsense, which are damned lies 99% of the time. This spending, or forced charity, has bankrupted America, Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc. Japan, the UK, America, Mexico, and others may fall in line, and destroy the entire world’s currency and economics, which is why we have gold and silver. They are immune to political votes and destruction.
FORCED CHARITIES
How about public housing, Medicaid, Medicare, and food stamps? How about TARP, and hundreds of billions of bailouts ’to save the economy?’ How about foreign aid, and dozens of bureaucracies which are supposed to ’make you safe,’ or ’protect you from your enemies?’ Funny, but I don’t consider Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, or Korea, ’my enemy.’ If a foreign nation is invaded or has a problem, let them solve their own problems, and don’t drag me down with them. I think that if a business, nation, or person can’t make it on their own, or can’t find a suitable private charity to help, they should simply go broke, or evaporate from the earth. Think of how clean and tidy the world would be, without those hangers on, and recipients of government largess, all paid INVOLUNTARILY by billions of taxpayers. The world’s scumbags and trash of all races, which pollute the streets and byways of most major cities, would not exist. Our taxes would be a fraction of what they are now, if indeed there were any taxes at all.
Then there are the public school systems, which long ago have failed to really educate kids, other than those who have had home schooling or caring parents. The public school systems gobble up about 75% of your property taxes. For what? As baby sitters? American children, BEFORE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, were hundreds of percentage points better educated, than they are now. Suppose, before public schools, parents didn’t teach or care for their kids? What then? Those kids would have failed in life, and probably had a short life span. Cruel? Absolutely not. If someone spends too much, drinks too much, does drugs, smokes, drives recklessly, takes chances with a bungee or parachute jump, and has their life cut short, so what? It’s their choice, just as it is a parent’s choice to train their kids and educate them or let them go the way of all flesh, and die young or be poor. Did George Washington, Ben Franklin, or Tom Jefferson go to a public school? Some of the most brilliant, artistic, and successful people in the world, had little education, but they had caring parents.
Forced giving, in the form of taxation and currency degradation, throughout the world, should not exist, and it just as simple as that. Our Constitution limits the power of government, and 99% of what world governments do, is unjust to their constituencies, and actual robbery and wholesale theft. My parents thought that the public school system was abysmal in the late 40’s and early 50’s, and took me out of it, but they were hundreds of percentage points better then than they are now. Don’t blame the teacher’s unions any more than the entire concept of “public” anything, be it rest rooms, schools, housing, or hundreds of bailouts, subsidies, and benefits. All these things are given to the weak sector of the population or business world, at the expense of, and dragging down the strong. If they are weak and stupid, they should fail by their own devices, and not be allowed to hang on at my expense, your expense, or the expense of the world’s taxpayers.
Wouldn’t it be great to reform the world? We have a chance to reform America this fall, and in November of 2012. Let’s do it and contribute to and work for true conservative candidates. So far, it’s working, with several liberals or RINOS (Republicans in name only) being defeated in primaries. Anyone who voted for TARP, including John McCain, should be defeated. A long time Republican Utah Senator who voted for TARP, just got thrown out. Now he says he will run as an independent, which may allow a Democrat to win. How stupid!!!! Keep it up, and send checks to those who are needing of your support.
