Well said. Thanks!
Said it loud Walt! Somebody needs to speak up for the Constitution.
The only real question is, how to reduce the power of government. Neither party really wants this; the Democrats are at least honest in saying they want bigger government. The Republicans had their chance (remember term limits, anyone ?) and completely blew it.
Well stated Dr. Williams, very insightful. Too bad the bozo's that inhabit the Congress are to thick headed and corrupt to see what damage they have brought upon our once great nation.
This is kind of like complaining about the weather. You may not like it, but there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.
Bureaucracy is far too entrenched to change. You have a better chance of al qaeda suddenly loving us than you do changing the political status quo.
Somewhere along the line, gradually, logic and rules just went out the door. The Constitution is continuously reinterpreted and laws are ignored with consequences only to the unpopular. People have become so conditioned to this that it may take a complete societal breakdown for the peasants to bring out the pitchforks and torches again.
What wealth any man has he keeps only by the good grace of our tax and spend politicians. Just ask Joe the Plumber.
The solution is education. People need a greater understanding of the correct nature of rights and violations of them. Practically every action of "The State" is a violation of someone's negative rights. The State produces no wealth. When it subsidies "A" the only way it can do it is by robbing "B". When it grants privilege to "C" the only way it can do it is by enslaving "D". The State has only four tools in its tool box - murder, theft, slavery and fraud. The best handbook I've seen for understanding the nature of The State is Frederick Bastiat's, 'The Law.'
