In the Discourse on Livy, Machiavelli states that the removal of weapons from its citizens ensures the short life of a republic. Sharky&Sharky add to Machiavelli by stating that the removal of money and wealth from the republic's citizens ensures the collapse of liberty into statism. This wealth can be removed by taxation and devaluing the monetary system.
Make no mistake in interpretation! We are under the command of General Pickett Obama. We are led by a madman who is informed by a conflated Ghetto mentality of not repaying debts while incurring new deficits month after month is a good. This was the way he was raised. However he is only the most latest and most expensive in a long line of US leaders who believe that destroying the republic's private wealth is the path to social justice.
Both Houses of Congress refuse to admit that none of their plans or proposals being ping-ponged from chamber to chamber will reduce the deficit or the debt. All the while, the General presses us, the citizens, forward to dismemberment, enslavement, and annihilation. We are becoming entangled in a ever-tightening web of statism, which chokes off liberty. None of the Congress' budget proposals address the automatic 7%baseline increments that ensure that the government's budget goes up every year by law. This makes it very hard to understand the Reid or Boehner's cuts. Are they talking about cuts to the baseline increments required by law or a reduction to actual monies received year after year? Sharky&Sharky have no doubt that the cuts if there are any at all are applied after the automatic projected baseline increments. Read Rush on this topic.
The entities that speak for liberty such as the Tea Party, or Michelle Bachman, or Paul Ryan or Rand Paul are all ridiculed. A proposed solution that will keep us free such as Cut, Cap, and Balance from Congressman Jim Jordan et al. is declared DOA by Harry Reid. Why? It will lead to freedom with a Constitution Amendment that requires that the US Government balance its budget, thereby freeing the citizentry from the choking web of statism.
Another approach is Connie Mack's Penny Plan. This plan says that within 8 years not 15 or 20 plus years the web of statism will be broken:
- Cutting total federal spending by one percent each year for six consecutive years,
- Setting an overall spending cap of 18 percent of gross domestic product in 2018, and
- Reducing overall spending by $7.5 trillion over 10 years
