CATCHING PIGS

THIS IS THOUGHT PROVOKING...
for those who care to think for themselves.

Uncle Sam, the thief, taking citizens for a ride!!!
"I'm for a flat tax -- as long as the flat rate is zero.
The object is to get rid of big government,
not find a new way of financing it." Harry Browne

There was a chemistry professor in a large college [Columbia University], that had some foreign exchange students [from Kenya] in the class .

One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter.

The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists [not who you think] in his native country, who were trying, to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime. In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question.

He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.

"You catch wild pigs, by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day, to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down, on one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up, with a gate in the last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate, to eat that free corn again.

You then, slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly, the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around, inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon, they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it, that they have forgotten how to forage, in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man, then told the professor, that is exactly, what he sees happening in America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out, in the form of programs, such as:

  • supplemental (free) Income
  • tax credit for UNearned income
  • tax Exemptions
  • tobacco Subsidies
  • dairy Subsidies
  • payments for NOT planting crops
  • oil depletion Credits
  • welfare, medicine, drugs, etc.,

 

Note from Ron Paul, in re: Government Dependency

DECLINE, DECAY, DENIAL, DELUSION, & DESPAIR

"Everywhere I turned I saw something that made me laugh, shake my head in disgust, or wonder how our government could have become so inane, incompetent and out of control."

This is the case for ELIMINATING the income tax and REPLACING it with a NATIONAL SALES TAX! There is no better solution. The disabled among us who absolutely CANNOT work to buy food and shelter can still count on government for help if PROOF can be provided showing their indigence. Those government employees who review and evaluate the "proof" must be honest, ethical, uncorrupt (preferably non-union) people who will judge the documents objectively. It is estimated that three-fourths (3/4) of "Americans" drawing Social Security Disability are NOT disabled. There is an entire legal structure in socialist America dedicated to defrauding Social Security out of disability checks.

We continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time all because freeloaders and malingerers don't want to work for a living and because politicians bribe some voters with these wasteful, fraudulent programs while filling their own pockets with Federal Reserve 'rubber bucks' and taxpayer money they don't deserve. It is a common misconception that the income tax supports government. Government runs on the 'elastic' currency created out-of-thin-air from the FED. Income Tax is just for 'social control'.

One should always remember two truths:

  1. There is no such thing as a free lunch (unless you defraud government or the Federal Reserve prints it) and
  2. you can never hire someone to provide a service for you , cheaper than, you can do it yourself.

If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" (which is just redistribution of wealth from those who earned it to those who didn't) is a problem, confronting the future of America's Constitutional Republic, you might want to send this on to your friends.

If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably delete this email.

But...when the gate slams shut, it WILL BE TOO LATE…it’s almost too late now!

Quote for today:

"The problems we face today are there because, the people who work for a living, are now out-numbered, by those who vote for a living from government."

Why Do We Need Term Limits?

John Adams said, “Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey”. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.

  1. Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
  2. Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
  3. Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
  4. Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
  5. Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.

    6. Term limits for lawmakers: when is enough, enough?

[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]
