Now many readers may immediately be wondering what the heck are you talking about? What does Ron Paul have to do with Vampires? Some of you might challenge the notion of Vampires. I’m here to tell you that Vampires are real. Yes, you read it first here…Vampires do exist and we are surrounded by them. So, just bear with me as I explain further.
Vampires have been written and talked about in length over the centuries. This writer will make the assumption that everyone knows something about the legendary man killers. However, I will still ask the question, what is a Vampire? Generally speaking a Vampire is a creature that derives its sustenance from others. Most often we associate Vampires as drinking the blood of their victims or literally sucking the life out of them.
Now that I’ve established what the commonly known Vampire of legends is, I will talk about real life Vampires. Quite literally anything that feeds or drains off of something else is vampiric. Generally, small vampiric effects are somewhat irrelevant and at worst a nuisance (darn mosquitoes). It is when this vampiric effect becomes larger that the real debilitating effects are felt.
Enter stage right…Taxes. Taxes are a definite vampiric act. They can be tolerated to a certain level, but after a certain point its debilitating effects are felt. When the typical tax payer spends one quarter to one third of their year working to pay taxes, you have a problem. The average citizen inherently knows that this is a drain and feels that it is a real problem, but never takes the next logical step. This next step is for citizens to ask themselves what money really is. Money is quite literally man/woman equivalent hours. You trade your limited life for an exchange medium that allows trading of peoples time/life. So money quite literally is supposed to represent a portion of ones limited time on this planet. Everything you see around you takes time to produce, from raw material production to a final product. Once you start to think of money as a representation of people’s lives things become even clearer.
When Ron Paul talks about letting people keep the fruits of their labor, he is saying let people keep as much of their lives as possible. The goal is to maximize liberty, freedom, and life. Ron Paul is literally challenging the Vampires in Washington and the multitudes of Vampires Washington feeds.
My fellow citizens, we are being preyed upon and having our very lives drained to feed others. I have no problem with charity as I am donating a portion of my life voluntarily. Even some taxes like a gas tax to maintain roads are understandable. Taxes like the gas tax charge people for use of the roads. Now for all of those SUV drivers…your heavier vehicles do wear on the road more, but you pay more in gax tax as well. Of course, how much more could be debated and I do not pretend to have the facts on that.
However, most people do have a problem when large portions of their lives are stolen, especially through the use of force (try not paying your income taxes and see what happens). Taxes have the same effect as prison because they deprive you of life and liberty. Prison deprives you of life and liberty and is our primary method of punishment for societal wrongs. Funny that taxes and prison seem related with the exception that the loss to life and liberty is greater in prison. Thank goodness that you only lose one third of a year as a ‘free’ citizen working to pay your tax burden (carry on…no sarcasm to be seen here). In the end, we should be trying to minimize taxes to only the things that are truly necessary. For every ‘need’ imprisons us more and deprives us and our fellow citizens of life and liberty.
There is an awakening happening. The Vampires have gotten too bold and are nearly killing their prey. They drain us of life through the income/labor tax, through the nefarious hidden life draining tax called inflation and a multitude of other taxes.
Ron Paul is a mere man (a decent one at that), but it is his message that is awakening the Sleeping Giant (the American electorate). The Sleeping Giant is awakening to find that the vampires have put him into a deep sleep and have been feeding off of him relentlessly. The question is…will the Sleeping Giant have enough strength to stand up and throw off these cruel beasts? This writer sure hopes so!
Ron Paul is the hammer that will drive the Liberty stake/message through the heart of the vampiric system. What he has lacked this last thirty years was a powerful enough force to drive that stake into an increasingly destructive system. We the Sleeping Giant are that force! This exponentially growing force has literally picked our hammer Ron Paul up. All we need to do is gather enough strength (enough of the electorate) to drive home the stake and free ourselves, and our country.
Fellow citizens…stand…stand…rise up and be free! Support the only man driving home the freedom message…Ron Paul!
