Give the Fed MORE POWER to FURTHER weaken our economy and kill the Dollar? Are you KIDDING ME ???


"The US economy is going up in flames...  Free market capitalism is being tortured and the federal regulators are holding all of the killing devices.  Now they want more.  [Friday] Treasury Secretary Paulson unveiled a plan that would give the Federal Reserve the power to regulate every aspect of the US economy.  They would have authority over the entire banking sector as well as the entire securities industry.  Once again...  creating more problems and bureaucracy." -- by marc Published in Big Government, March 29th, 2008, 8:14 am (Liberty Maven)

Does McCain Have the Guts To Debate Ron Paul ???

"Albert Einstein once said, 'You cannot solve the problems with same thinking and people who created the problems in the first place.'  Unfortunately, John McCain has already vowed to continue the disastrous policies of the Bush and Cheney administration.  If he wins, prepare for things to keep getting worse on the same course.


Oppose a National Sales Tax / Fair Tax

Although eliminating the IRS and substituting it with a National Sales Tax SOUNDS like a great idea, it would be one of the biggest con jobs on the United States citizens in history.  It would be even bigger than the unlawful creation of the IRS, the Federal Reserve, and the little-known truth that the Federal Reserve actually CREATED The Great Depression.  

To begin with, the IRS was deemed by The Supreme Court to be unconstitutional.  Not just once, but twice.  Second, the Constitution does not allow for a tax on personal income  -- only on corporate profits...  and even those have to be uniform, across the board, for all companies, regardless of size or revenue.  Yet, the IRS has created a complex tax code, much longer than the Constitution, but defying it at every turn,  creating opportunities for abuse by those who have the means to take advantage of it, and room for error by those who don't...  which, by the way, according to the IRS, constitutes criminal charges of fraud and is punishable by imprisonment and theft of assets.

So, in essence, we would be volunteering for a tax that would be Constitutional, thinking that we were lucky because we had eliminated another tax...  but that tax is ALREADY illegal!

Even worse, a National Sales Tax could equal anywhere from 18 - 32 %.  And that is ON TOP OF any local or state sales tax, any hotel tax, any luxury tax, any "punitive" tax, such as those on cigarettes, and, of course, on top of any gasoline tax.

Not to mention that the Senate and Congress can come back and raise it.

We Don’t Need No Stinking REAL ID

This is the ugly truth of the REAL ID.  Most Americans drooling through their day jobs have no idea their way of life is being threatened.  Patriots like Ron Paul try to wipe up the drool and shake people into reality.  Unfortunately, few are listening now, but those that are listening are slowly spreading the word.  The goal of terrorism is to change behavior due to the fear it breeds.  Going down the list of liberty sacrificing legislation passed after 9/11 in the name of patriotism, more aptly termed nationalism, demonstrates which side is really winning the war on terror.  -- by marc Published in Activism, March 28th, 2008 7:11 am  See the full article here.

The Wish List of Eleven

The Eleven Posts immediately below this one represent my eleven most passionate hopes for our country and for the restructuring of our government.  Folks, we don't have to take our abusive, duplicitous, thieving government anymore.  Our government constantly strives to limit our freedoms and police our moralities, all while they take more and more of our hard-earned dollars...  and with no true accountability and even less responsibility.  Please...  agree with me, discuss with me, disagree with me, argue with me, or even get mad at me...  as long as you care.  Please do not get apathetic about the issues or simply resolve to merely "vote for the lesser of two evils".

1) Eliminate the IRS and All Personal Income Tax

The IRS was never legally created, and actually violates the principles of taxation set forth in the Constitution.  The Constitution defines personal income and wages for labor as both non-taxable and personal property.  The IRS persists with fear-based tactics, violating our basic rights and stealing from us, all with no legal authority whatsoever.  Let's put an end to this illegal institution and this despotic practice.

2) Abolish the Federal Reserve Bank

The Federal Reserve was created underhandedly, without proper authorization.  The Federal Reserve dangerously puts the financial structure and (in)stability of our country solely in the hands of a private, unregulated corporation.  Its creation and very existence instantaneously caused our country an obligatory and irrevocable state of indebtedness.  Little known fact: The members of the Federal Reserve Bank actually caused The Great Depression.  Do we really want to allow them to lead us into another one?

3) Move From A Republic To A Democracy

Abolish Congress and, instead, allow the people to vote directly on a fixed number of issues every quarter.  This eliminates our current "corrupt Republic" and allows true, direct Democracy.  People's votes will actually matter, and we won't have to worry about Bills being changed, amended, or killed through the Congressional process.

4) Speaking of Voting...

Electronic voting enables fraud, plain and simple.  Voting needs to be direct and manual, with no automation whatsoever.

5) The Proper Handling of Driving Violations

With the exceptions of Drunken Driving, Vehicular Manslaughter, and possible other related Offenses, traffic and parking violations should be relegated to their appropriate venue, the Civil Arena.  Law-abiding citizens should not be treated as criminals simply to justify raising State and Local revenue.  Killing people is a crime, yes, but having an expired Driver's License or a miniscule malfunctioning light bulb on your license plate hardly puts a citizen in the criminal bracket.  Criminalizing civil misdemeanors simply puts us further down the road toward a permanent Police State.

6) Property Taxes

Property Taxes, particularly School Taxes, require a complete restructuring.  In Texas, Robin Hood should be abolished.  It represents true Socialism.  Additionally, families should have the ability to opt out of School Taxes entirely, for reasons such as private schooling, home schooling, being a senior citizen, and other similar criteria.

7) Return the Drinking Age to 18


In the 1980's, we raised the drinking age twice.  Yet, more than 20 years later, we have a record number of minors being arrested for drunk driving and public intoxication.  What did raising the legal drinking age to 21 do?  It created yet another source of government revenue, yet with dire consequences to our youth and to our society.  The real answer is to teach our youth how to drink responsibly, and not make alcohol taboo, which simply increases consumption as a form of rebellion.

8) Remove Taxes Which Label the Middle Class as "Wealthy"


Eliminate all Estate and Inheritance Taxes.  These taxes are simply created to redistribute the wealth.  However, very few ultra-wealthy individuals suffer, as they are able to take advantage of a complicated tax code, allowing them to sidestep the very taxes which were supposedly designed to affect them.  Typically, the middle-class farmers, ranchers, long-time homeowners, and small family businesses are redefined as wealthy by these tax definitions and end up losing the fruits of their labor and lifetime sacrifices.

9) Gun Control and Criminals


Repeal all gun control laws, as they violate our Second Amendment Rights and go against the basic ideals of the Founding Fathers, who passionately strived to protect future generations from criminals, foreign invaders, and the tyranny of government.  The most reasonable and safe approach is to only prohibit violent criminals and sex offenders from owning, using, or being near them.

10) Eliminate the United States Gestapo


Repeal the Patriot Act; eliminate the Department of Homeland Security and the CIA; while, at the same time, massively reduce and restrict the FBI's ability to intrude into our homes and into our lives.  The justification for the Department of Homeland Security's creation was to facilitate communication between different United States branches of Intelligence.  Well, guess what?  That was also the purpose of the CIA, and if that had been done correctly, we wouldn't have needed the Department of Homeland Security.

11) Foreign Policy

Immediately pull out of Iraq and every other country which we currently occupy.

"While our central government contends that we are taxed with "our consent" since those we elect to represent us, the simple reality is...

...when legislators are allowed to accept bribes from lobbyists for special interest groups it is not us they represent, but the special interest groups."

Why are Austin Police Now Starting To Drive H3's ?

If federal, state, and local government is so concerned about our dependence on oil, the gas shortage, the price at the pump, and maintaining the current tax rate, then why are H3's, Tahoes, and Dodge Chargers rapidly emerging within the fleets of our local police forces?

If the IRS was not created by an Act of Congress, is it legal?

I don't know about any of you, but I don't particularly enjoy working for free 4 months out of the year just to pay Income Tax.  And that's before we start adding in Sales Tax, Fuel Taxes, Property Taxes...
