The Dark Side of the Force

With the eminent collapse of the manufacturing base in this country as the White House plays dictator with Chrysler, GM, and all their suppliers it has become clear that the greatness that once belonged to the United States has been compromised. Now that Obama has been flip-flopping on the issue of releasing the water boarding photos, and shown exceptional weakness on the world stage of foreign policy by sucking up to perverted dictators, he is setting his sights on destroying our country from the inside out on the domestic side as well.

Witness his eminence as he destroys the free enterprise system in one fell swoop. But we free thinkers have a secret weapon, and it is called integrity. Integrity in believing in the free enterprise system and the free market. They will expect us to just roll over and give up when they start taxing us to death, but we will not go quietly into serfdom. Those of us who own businesses will not give over our profits for redistribution so easily. We will go underground and enter the cash market. It is a drastic survival tactic to be sure but one that is certainly warranted in these times of tyrannical oppression. But unreported income will become the only vehicle for protecting the profits and prosperity of hard working individuals.

Reagan understood this reality and it is why he acted as he did to reduce the tax burden on businesses and individuals. When businesses and individuals are allowed to keep more of their income, they are more willing to pay their fair share of taxes. But when the government becomes oppressive of the people they will predictably react to keep what is rightfully theirs by going underground and entering the black market of unreported cash income. This is why he cut taxes on businesses and individuals which actually increased participation in the system thereby increasing revenues. And at the same time he shrank the government in both personnel and expenditures which decreased the deficit. Personal responsibility and free enterprise will survive, but for the time being they will most likely be forced underground until us free thinkers can become more organized and regroup against the evil forces of Lord Darth Emanuel and the greedy liberal horde of congress.

The conservative resistance will prevail against the evil empire eventually. Many battles will have to be fought. Some will be lost, many will be won before the war against the Emperor Obama and his evil empire of liberal tax and spend storm troopers in congress is finally over. Obama's statist policies will inspire ingenious subterfuge within the rebel alliance of the conservative resistance. Join the battle and fight on for true freedoms my fellow free thinkers; my true fellow Americans. Fight to keep as much of what you earn as possible because you know how to better utilize it than any government could ever presume to know. Long live the conservative resistance.

Obama's Report Card

The evidence is mounting against the Obama administration's liberal tax and spend policies; they are not working as they had hoped. The policy of "spreading the wealth" by taxing the wealthy and giving it to the poor is not working as expected. The gap between revenues required to maintain the enormous spending deficits introduced by Queen Pelosi and her liberal horde in congress and what is currently collected is growing exponentially by the hour. Because of this, all of the other lessor statists around the country at the state and local levels are scrambling to come up with ingenious ways to tax those who can least afford to pay. For instance, in New York Governor David Patterson has proposed to introduce a "Student Tax" on all college students of $150 per student, (although it isn't yet clear if this is per course or per year). As if higher education wasn't already too expensive, he actually wants to increase the costs for students, most of whom are underemployed and already deep in debt financing their education.

And if you drink soda pop, or eat sugary foods, they are actually musing around with the idea at the federal level with a "sugary foods" or "unhealthy foods" tax to fund their bastardized, bureaucratic, mess for universal rationed health care.

So let's see; in just four short months, this buffoon of a President and his incompetent administration have attacked with vigor and pretty much taken over or outright killed several key industries including, the banking and finance industry, the manufacturing sector in general (by decimating the automotive industry specifically), and still their ravenous appetites are not sated. The next industries in their cross hairs are the restaurant industry, agriculture, ranchers, entertainment, higher learning, transportation, and many others.

These clowns would be a side-splittingly hilarious side show if what they were doing wasn't hurting so many people, especially those whom they claim to want to help the most; the poor.

They do not get the free market at all. It will correct itself because the abuses and excesses of the past all have a self limiting effect. But instead of learning this, they are intent on meddling in it and causing great harm to the markets and to the populace at large. In fact, the market is already showing signs of self healing. They are oblivious of course, and yet they will claim that what they are doing is working. I give Obama a C minus so far, only because he could still do so much more damage, I wouldn't want to place any artificial limits on the depths of his depravity or the breadth of his idiocy just yet. That would just be premature at this point. AFter all, it has only been 4 months so far and we wouldn't want him to reach his nadir too soon.
