A Socialistic Solution

By H. K. Robinson ©11/27/2009

I asked a democratic friend of mine the other day, “wouldn’t it be better to abolish the income tax rather then add socialized medicine on to the continually burgeoning budget.  He stated “that’s not going to happen, so we might as well go for the public healthcare option.” Sadly he is probably right as there are so many people that feed off the local state and the U.S. Treasury, that abolishing the Federal Income Tax could put millions out of jobs and government contracts.

As a libertarian, I am “not” speaking out against the socialized health care option, as I know that we libertarians are going to get what we believe, no matter what government can muster up in the near future.  The welfare/warfare state intermingled within a two party system has run out of money, something we told them would occur many years ago. They have taxed the middle class so hard and for so long, that a huge percentage of American society is insolvent and now, no longer able to pay taxes, are instead preparing for armed confrontation by stock piling arms and food, from enemies that they are not even sure of.  It will most likely, as history has shown, come from the very government sworn to protect it as; the welfare/warfare machine has throughout history turned on its own people.  Attempting to maintain revenues, the various levels of government will collude to harass and extort additional revenue for the Citizens.  A large portion of the Citizenry already extremely strapped, are placed in a position of the “Survival Mode” and will be bucking the government bureaucracy and banking system in a rebellious manner as this billboard in Missouri boldly shows. The recent bailout of the system has gone primarily to the bureaucracy and banking system and has not trickled onto Main$treet. With government revenues off at record levels, the bureaucracy will be increasing taxation and penal pressure on everyone they can.              

It is amazing to me that so many people do not understand the current “State of the Union”.  It is socialism that has created the collapse of every major economy since the Greeks attempted democracy some 2,500 years ago, yet there are those that are calling for more, even though we are well beyond the ability to pay back what we have already borrowed and spent to fund the multitude of government programs created over the last 100 years. We as a society, have been economically bankrupted by politicians, bankers and a bureaucracy, hell bent on controlling the means of productions by feeding off the working man’s welfare and profits. The U.S. has yet, except for a very short period of time, experienced rapid devaluation of its currency and when it hits it is going to require a very severe transformation for Americans as the rethink their personal monetary policy.     

When stagflation finally manifests itself within a socio-economic system, it is the final hooray for those that have been feeding off of the multitude of communistic programs. Adding more costs onto the deficit will just add too the already fatally flawed system, creating its demise even sooner. 

The question is “do we care enough as a society to provide the best remedy to the mass of problems facing the people of this nation.  When a communistic/socialistic nation collapses, history has shown it to be in a most violent and chaotic period and we are very near that time.  Would we fare better by a controlled reduction of taxes and government or just let it run its course and collapse all at once creating even greater hardships for the majority.                 

The answer is obvious. 1. Most people are clueless about the demise of the American System.  No one wants to believe that a nation once as great as the U.S. is nearing collapse even though every sign in the books are staring us in the face. Nobody ever thought the USSR was going to go down in flames either yet it did and did both quickly and violently as the Soviet Ruble became worthless very quickly. What will happen is that “We will do nothing except stay the course” for changing would take great courage and sacrifice and those that are well off under the current system are unwilling to take any actions that would jeopardize their personal financial positions, even though it is severely threatened none the less.  

We do not need to Audit the Fed, we need to abolish the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States.  We do not need socialized medicine; we need to abolish the many laws that, like the income tax, limit the average person’s ability to afford medical insurance and care. Instead of a socialistic society that provides capital for poor performance and irresponsibility, we need to limit government and protect individual rights, that promotes the benefits of good performance and responsibility.

The welfare/warfare state is dying and it will be decades before America becomes the great nation we once were.  Some will argue that are military strength has made us this great nation, but sadly our friends and neighbors around the world disagree with that assessment and our financial weaknesses are showing the ugly side of America life. The underbelly of American society is riddles with crooks like Bernard Maddoff and liars like George Bush, Barrack Obama and 98 percent of Congress.      

The libertarians have been warning the majority for over a quarter century, to limit the ability of the oligarchs to manipulate our system with their constant redistribution, Tax and Spend schemes.  Government is only there to assist us in the protection of our individual rights. It is not there to increase the standard of living for the poor; it is not there to be the world’s policeman; it is not there to explore space, it is not there to provide grants to colleges and government science laboratories; it is not there to run parks and recreation facilities; it is not there to build our roads and bridges; it is not there to provide an Old Age Retirement System; it is not there to provide for the unemployed;  it is not there to stop weapons of mass destruction in foreign countries; it is not there to manage our monetary system through the creation of paper money and it is surely not there to provide us with the final arbiter. Let me repeat myself, government is only there to assist us in the protection of our individual rights.

For those that believe these things are the functions of government than you have gotten what you deserve.  To believe that any governing entity, whose economic foundation and existence is be based on the theft of money from its Citizens through various forms of taxation and penal law, will foster an ethical society, is extremely naïve nor has read their history.  You my friends have fallen for the devious dogmas of communism such as an income tax, central banking and public education; the 2nd, 5th and 10th platforms within the book, The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx and Richard Engels.  Someone once coined “communism” as the means of stealing the wealth of a nation. Many of the very same programs that destroyed the USSR have now, for all intent and purposes, destroyed the once very prosperous American way of life. 

We have been taught by our government run education system that our government bureaucracy is our security blanket; public servants whose lives are dedicated to enhancing our democratic capitalistic way of way.  Instead it has sucked the lifeblood out of our citizens and placed a debt on our backs so egregious that generations will live in poverty and despair.  Not since the 1st great depression has our nation faced such dire times and those in power, with the exception of a few, are pretending as if everything is going to be just fine, as they surely will be since the now control the majority of wealth in our system.  Go figure, communism actually worked as the oligarchs had planned.         

It is true that it is much safer and easier to say “Yes” to socialized medicine, than to say “No” to giving your money to a corrupt government that has expanded its power well beyond our Constitutional limitations, but it is surely not the “RIGHT” thing to do.  As the billboard sign above says “Starve the Beast and “Vote Them All Out”. The sooner we shut down the welfare/warfare state the sooner we can start rebuilding our society. When our communistic/socialistic society does collapse, the free market will again rebuild our society into its once great status, but sadly that will take as much time to rebuild as it did to destroy.
