Let the fleecing of the masses begin. by Dan Steward

The sad yet undeniable truth of it all is that we are being sent a bill for our own slavery and we pay it under constant threat of violence to our persons for noncompliance. We are made to feel guilty whenever someone in power makes a demand and we don't immediately respond with the "correct" response.
"Give up more taxes no matter how much it makes your family suffer or you hate the poor", "support the troops", and "do your share" are shamefully only a small sample of the horrid villainy bestowed upon us all.
The thoroughly disgraceful theory of Negative Economics – promote negative feelings and then charge to alleviate them. Sling out the guilt, then rake in the cash while seizing freedoms. How appalling!
The left ignores the fact that the poor are worse off after being hosed by excessive taxation/regulations on gasoline and sometimes even food, utilities, rent and other necessities of life. Minimum Wage laws destroy the same supposed employment opportunities they claim to create. Good original intentions are contemptible on their face if they require shame to be part and parcel of their motivating factors.
Making people feel "unpatriotic" for not getting on board with the latest transparently draconian rule or tyrannical diktat handed down from the D.C. Legion of Doom. The political "right" is not immune to such brow beating tactics as well.
The mantra of the loathsome scoundrel goes like this: "either you're with us or with the terrorists". How about being with nobody? An individual that still presumably lives in a land the boasts the right of the individual above all should immediately and very loudly question the motives of any vile politico that dares spout such poisonous rot. Why not being an individual that is intelligent enough to see through the absurdity of removing your shoes at the airport for the TSA's security theater of a goofy make-work project?
Whether the despotism creeps our way from the right or the left we still have to cough up our hard earned funds to the "school yard bully" whether it is the federal, state or local jackboots under the implied threat of them pointing their guns at us. That part we cannot change for now and we can for the time being, only realize that it is not Mother Teresa but instead Tony Soprano that drives the sputtering engine of the public charity. Likewise the man behind the slick facade of Uncle Sam is none other than Freddy Kruger, drooling as he clangs his knifed fingers together, salivating at the thought of even more souls added to the needless death count of hopeless overseas military ventures.
The only real crime to them is simply a lack of obedience to the credo of the slave. I am hopeful that you, the reader, are much more intelligent than to fall for any such repulsive tricks.
With Liberty.
