Federal Govt Rights and Liberty
Each Generation needs to know what it means to be an American. Each generation needs to know the difference between the American culture and values versus the Societies in Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and all other countries. Why?
Listen to this video: Dennis Prager
A Republic of free individuals created tremendous wealth and benefits for society. A growing government that delegates broad regularity authority to an entrenched bureaucracy is the greatest threat to your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Through regulations, taxation, inflation of the money supply, trade restrictions, and tethers on private associations, government is nothing but a massive drain on prosperity. The situation has become deeply dangerous for the future of freedom in this country, with young people unable to find jobs, opportunities being destroyed in sector after sector, banks and corporations living on the dole, and so many regulations that we are living under something nearly as egregious as a Soviet-style central plan.
From Tom Paine
"Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one"
Government Propaganda, applied crisis tactics, and carefully orchestrated expert opinion plays the American people. It is done to increase government power and to take away individual freedom. The generation that allowed the creation of the Federal Reserve System, the passage of the 16th Amendment for Progressive Income Tax and the 17th Amendment to take away election of U.S Senators from the states allowed a central government to consolidate power going forward The same tactics used for today's Global Warming, Comprehensive Land Use Planning, and Health Care were successfully applied back in 1913 to take advantage of people's lack of awareness.
Who will keep us safe from a power grabbing government?
You, the people when you know the truth and believe in yourself.
In Europe and across the globe, the government is the master of the people. Control is a top down form of governance. In America, the people are the masters of government. We excelled with a bottom up approach. But the growth of government has curtailed the traditional American success story. All branches of the Federal Government routinely violate the Constitution. The government has gone far beyond the powers the people delegated to it.
Citizens could restore more liberty by abolishing the 16th Amendment and the 17th Amendments.
Letting the Federal Reserve System control the monetary system and to operate with ultra tight secrecy gives power to a cartel of banks over an entire nation. Those two amendments concentrated power in the central government and diminished the power of State governments to check the power of the growing Federal Government. The Progressive Income Tax is a bloated maze of controlling, intrusive rules that empowers the government to manage people and redistribute wealth. The cost and time required to comply with the Federal Income tax regulations is truly a violation of what America is meant to be.
The 17th Amendment removed an effective check on the power of the Federal Government. The Tenthamendment Center article explains.
Thomas Jefferson stated clearly that it is the duty of State Governments to protect their citizens liberty and to oppose Unconstitutional legislation or actions by the Federal Government. Jefferson and James Madison both warned generations of Americans that a central government would grow and seek to consolidate power unless the Constitution was strictly enforced.
Letting the Federal Government routinely ignore the Constitution allows statists, and progressives to orchestrate the path to tyranny.
Net Neutrality, Food Control, Sustainable Communities, Fairness Act, EPA arbitrary Clean Air Standards, Federal Government management of Education, Climate Control regulations, abuse of the Interstate Commerce Act, Health Care Control legislation all represent concentration of power in a Federal Government that was never meant to be.
Steve Wynn comments about that lack of sanity in Washington.
State Sovereignty must be strengthen and applied to counter the non-stop growth of the Federal Government.
Over regulation and redistribution of wealth by the Federal Government has stifled the free market, and in so doing diminished freedom and liberty of the individual.
Do not forget what this Federal Bureaucrat accomplished: Take William Ruckelshaus.Sarbanes-Oxley gives more power to the President at the expense of State corporate law
and traditional state authority to regulate corporate governance of firms.
The Obama Administration is launching new tyranny under the category of Environmental Justice. The propaganda for this usurpation of power:
“Low-income and minority communities often shoulder an unacceptable amount of pollution in this country, diminishing their economic potential and threatening the health of millions of American families,” said Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. “The White House Forum underlines the commitment across the Administration to integrating environmental justice into the missions of federal agencies, and ensuring this really is a country of equal opportunity for all.”
More big unitarian government politicians want you to carry a national ID card loaded with biometric and personal information. If you don't carry the card, it will be illegal for you to work.
While liberty is slipping through our fingers, here is a reminder of what an early American generation did.

Wisdom from Long Ago
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be
tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should
be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to
work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero - 55 BC
Historical Note: Cicero was murdered when the Roman Republic transformed into the Roman Empire and a Dictatorship.
