PARASITES AND THE RULING ELITE

REALITY is what it is....not what politicians may deceive others to believe it is or what an individual may wish it to be. To ignore reality, evidenced by actions and facts, is akin to suicide.

Few of us have known the kinds of sacrifices, hardships and brutality endured by those who brought us the freedom and prosperity we have known since the first Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.

Now, we find our government, at all levels, actively moving to take our country away from ‘We the People’ and our descendants. Today, we must choose whether to follow a bunch of anti-capitalist statists into a world that will strip all of us of the rest of our liberty and opportunities.

Prohibition, during the 1920s, was the product of arrogant politicians and rabid, hysterical special-interest groups who proclaimed to know better than individuals how to make choices affecting personal morality. The resulting rise in violence and black-market activity destroyed the lives of many Americans.

Today, our federal government and many state governments are out of control….out of our control. Today, our out-of-control federal government is bent on forcing American citizens to accept what politicians once again tell us to be best for us. They arrogantly inform us that we will pay the bills and endure the shortcomings of more government-run “programs”.

Lately, Congress' primary objective seems to be the consolidation of power unto the federal government. Much of what is being done today in Washington is designed to "rule" American citizens....to "dictate" to us rather than "serve" us.

Nowhere in the Constitution of the United States of America is there any provision for government-mandated policies that take the property of some citizens for redistribution to others. Nor is there any provision for a statist government to dictate to We the People contrary to our individual rights to our lives, our property and our own choices.

James Madison wrote in the Federalist Papers #41, regarding general expressions such as the “General Welfare” clause and the “Commerce” clause that the Constitution did not provide for unlimited exercise of power regarding those clauses, but that limitations were placed on all general expressions by specifications contained in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States of America.

The General Welfare and Commerce clauses relied upon by the Congress to justify its abuses of authority and usurpation of power from the states and the People, are expressly limited by the U.S. Constitution for the purpose of safeguarding the powers of the states and the People….from trespass by the federal government. Throughout the 85 letters included in the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay went to great lengths to explain the intentions of the members of the Convention as they drafted our Constitution and the Amendments thereto.

Our federal government has become a self-proclaimed elite class of privileged non-producers, panderers and outright criminals. Washington, D.C. and many state governments no longer represent the People of this country....the producers, the working families, the taxpaying and abused citizens who have become chained to the wants of the non-productive and uneducated. The demands of special-interests….groups, businesses, countries and individuals…. have assumed higher priority for Washington, D.C. and state politicians who have no right whatsoever to the labor and the wealth [such as it may be] of we, the producers, working families, taxpayers and abused citizens.

While we have been hard at work on behalf of our families and our futures, and often just plain careless about political affairs, another new class has emerged within our once mostly capitalist economy. That "entitled" class has become a substantial force in political affairs and has successfully taken its place between the poor and middle classes of our country. They have established themselves with the help of the new noble class of privileged non-producers, panderers and outright criminals in Washington, D.C.

The "entitled" class of parasites enjoys the financial assistance of small businesses and middle class families who have seen their profits and incomes taken through taxation by the Congress and redistributed to progressive organizations and supporters of liberal causes. This new and most unworthy class of parasites is now attempting to subjugate the middle class of the United States to its statist agenda and replace the middle class as the most influential voting bloc in our country.

Refusing to educate themselves or to learn skills demanded by our economy, proclaiming themselves to be persecuted victims, and producing little or nothing while demanding participation equal to that of the producers....this new "entitled” class of parasites has secured the support of state and federal politicians who have lost sight of their Constitutional limitations and obligations.

Together, those non-producers have decided to take the United States of America from the People who provide the foundation for prosperity. They have decided to enslave the producers to the "needs" of the so-called victims of capitalism and the Washington elite.

America became the greatest and most prosperous country of all time, not by giving away the labor and wealth of others to make every person somehow more “equal”. America became the greatest and most prosperous country in the world through competition, the freedom to make choices and to reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of those choices without government interference in the personal decision-making process.

Since the discovery by politicians that they can tax the American people with impunity and without consequence to their re-election and consolidation of power, Washington, D.C. and the states have become increasingly more bold in their efforts to cement their parties and themselves into permanent layers of political bureaucracy designed to stifle effective dissent and overwhelm the People they are obligated, by the Constitution of the United States of America, to represent.

Through the usurpation of authority constitutionally guaranteed to the states or to the People and through the transfer of wealth produced by the People, the Congress along with its bureaucratic maze and many special-interests have managed to defeat the will and unalienable rights of the People.

Through lack of common sense, carelessness and ignorance, the People have continued to put into office the kinds of disingenuous, dishonorable and dangerous persons whose agendas contradict the will of the People and the guarantees of the Constitution.

Americans have been the most generous, compassionate and charitable people this planet has ever known. Americans willingly offer aid to those in need. They rightly detest government programs that represent redistribution in the name of charity. Americans resent the growing number of government programs that exist to redistribute their incomes and property to persons who, through their own poor judgment and poor choices, find themselves wanting for things they cannot afford.

Far too many who benefit from our many welfare programs are simply parasites that have “chosen” to live off the labor of others….”chosen” to scorn education and hard work. They deserve no charity from the productive citizens of our country. Charity toward obvious parasites encourages more ignorance, slothfulness, demands and resentment.

We the People have relinquished much our liberty and property to this “entitled” class of parasites and to a self-proclaimed political elite that has pursued its statist objectives and power through promotion of class warfare and through quiet, active promotion of anti-capitalist and anti-American indoctrination in our public schools and universities. Government over-regulation, confiscatory taxation and government growth have undermined our individual rights to the pursuit of life, liberty and property.

Failure of federal and state governments and elected officials to fulfill the true purpose of government established by the Constitution of the United States of America and the constitutions of the various states has injured the lives and property of all productive Americans. Failure by the federal government to protect our borders and our treasury continues to severely damage our economy and the People for the purpose of ingratiating lawbreakers and parasites to self-dealing politicians in Washington, D.C. and the states.

Government, of course, is not the solution to our problems. Government has become the source of most of our problems. Thomas Jefferson stated; "Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct". It is fair to say that such “rottenness” grows as a man remains in office.

We the People have sacrificed too many of our liberties as we listened to what our politicians said. We the People, to our peril, have quickly forgotten, failed to understand and ignored what our so-called “representatives” in Washington, D.C. have actually done….to We the People, our country, our property and our liberty.

Our government was designed by the Founders to “serve” the People. Reality today shows productive Americans suffering the inverse condition as an out-of-control federal government demands that We the People serve its bloated, statist bureaucracy and its favored parasitic constituents.
