Compassionate Fascist…ya, that worked out well for the German Jews, the Gypsies, etc.

I really wish anyone who owns a home would go to City Hall and try to get their Tax Valuation lowered. Next, ask this question to your vehicle licensing authority: Why is my vehicle plate tax based on the “purchase price” of the vehicle – if in your state it is – rather than the “Gross Vehicle Weight”. Vehicle weight, not value, wears-out the road. Finally, imagine what that would be like if it were the Fed’s bureaucracy with which you had to deal.

FASCISM: A fantasy for those who “kiss ass”, but can’t produce anything or even find joy in working for producers.

I hear this statement on most of the conservative and liberal sites I visit. Nowhere in any libertarian concepts do I find any statement that we do have the solutions. We say, small governments can solve their problems better than large governments and that large governments cause large problems. We do not try to be “know it all-with one solution fits all.” The citizens themselves are always responsible for the solutions. Arizona looks at immigration different than New Jersey, for example, even cities inside Arizona see it differently. Looking for a government leader, Republican, Democrat or Libertarian is asking for a dictatorship and ducking personal responsibility.

In my previous response, I was expressing my skepticism that our march toward default and/or totalitarianism was inevitable because prerogative writs remained within the hands of government agents who are more than willing conspirators and/or incapable of retrospect. Regrettably, it is self-evident that the Framer’s Intent was designed for a classically educated and religious populace, who were bound by common ancestry and blood. It is perhaps incompatible with present day America-I am not certain how to resolve that.

The real question: how will Americans respond to the collapse? Will they be like the Japanese in the aftermath of the tsunami, and withstand the pain to come with stoicism and resolve, or will they lash out against their neighbors in a Hobbesian temper tantrum?

Of course, getting angry and marching against those responsible for the debacle is encouraged, but that would require an educated populace. We don’t have that.

It could get ugly. Keep your powder dry.

If government spending was productive, it would not be an enormous problem but most of it is malinvestment – very few “dividends” come out of a bomb dropped on a Pushtun, a Social Security check to a retired millionaire, or an agribusiness subsidy.

The unproductive Welfare-Warfare leviathan must be fed with taxes from the rich, taxes from the middle class, counterfeit inflation, or debt – and in this case, a toxic combination of all 4. Debt, however, is growing out of control. Should interest rates go from 2% to 6%, the interest on the current debt (and the Fannie-Freddie part) will grow by $3000 per taxpayer / year. This is all highly unsustainable.

Jefferson also said that one generation shall not bind another generation but the WWII and Boomer Generation have already bound the next two into debt slavery.

If the central planners thought that local, state and federal law enforcement as well as the U.S. military were something other than common dolts, than there would be some cause for a belief that a return to a Framers’s Intent were possible.

With the aforementioned serving as willing conspirators in our government’s “debate” concerning “The People’s Business,” there is essentially no reason for the central planners to regard the likes of Ron Paul, amongst others, as anything other than a momentary distraction.
