Lets start starving the beast.

Here's a couple of ideas to help starve the beast of a government that we have.

As soon as possible change your deductions on your W-4 to the max ALLOWED BY LAW! This will stop the interest free loan that most folks give the government every year when they get money back as a refund for over paying their taxes. On April 15th 2010 you will owe, which is how it should be. If you are getting a refund file as soon as possible. Your not getting any interest and the government may not give it back if they don't want to. Just ask any Californian what happened to their tax refunds last year. When you owe don't pay any sooner than april 14th.

Start withdrawing any EXCESS funds from your savings and turn it into silver or gold American Eagles and hide them somewhere safe, but not in a bank safe deposit box. If the bank closes the door is locked and you can't get your funds until the government examiners look through the banks assets including the vault. You just may find your box empty. Remember to keep your mouth shut that you keep silver or gold around. Should you need it you can go to the bank and convert it back to greenbacks. This will reduce the funds available for the banks to waste.

How evil is the left?

Yesterday, I got a lesson on just how evil the left really is. As many of you know I work as a paramedic in a hospital. I was taking a pregnant woman up to the labor and delivery floor. As we walked down the halls her husband complained that they had waited at LBJ hospital for four hours after being triaged and they had not been taken to L & D. LBJ is one of the county hospitals in Harris county Texas. He then espoused on how great the free medical care in Canada was. I tried to explain to him that nothing is free and waiting for months for medical test and surgery is not great. Canadians with the cash or insurance regularly come to the United States instead of waiting. As I was leaving after dropping her off he said it was so great that doctors made house calls to weed out people who didn't need to go to the hospital. I told him there wasn't enough doctors to make house calls for 300 million americans. His reply was that they should. I said doctors were not slaves. Thats when he said, "well, they should be".

Well, they should be? How bad has America gotten that what was once the most respected of professions are now to be enslaved? I am all for people getting good health care, but enslaving doctors and all medical staff? I don't think so! You and I have the right to health care, but we also have the duty to pay for it. I don't have to pay for your care. I am a free man, just like all the other 300 million plus american citizens. No one has the right to enslave another so they don't have to pay what they owe. No one has the right to put a gun to my head and say give me your money. That's called armed robbery. When the government does it it's called taxes.

This is what's wrong with the left and the entitlement class that they have created. They think they have the right to enslave others to do their will or fulfill their needs. This is why socialism is just plain evil. Now we are faced with what happens when folks forget their history. The left is prepared to enslave others all in the name of their needs. The former Republican party freed the slaves. The Democratic party formed the KKK to suppress the former slaves. The democrats then formed the entitlement class with the New Deal and the Great Society programs.

Now the socialist now have control of the government. The Republicans lost because they tried to become democrat lite to appeal to the entitlement class. They didn't point out as the economy tanked that the democrats implemented the policies that led to the foreclosure crisis. When the republicans made a weak attempt to reign in the spending it was the democrats that blocked it. The rest is history and you and I are paying for it.
