TC the Terrible

Sign on Highway 15-501 in eastern North Carolina.  People are finally starting to get it.  Now we need more people to get it.  Socialism is alive and well in what was once a great Democracy.

It’s called the Free State Project.  While they’re not giving the state away for free, they are trying to free it from the tyranny of a large Federal Government.  Which is a pretty good concept, one that’s doomed from the start to fail.

Like most good ideas in the public arena this one is never going to explode like it should.  The idea of decreasing the tax burden of the people while reducing the amount of government intrusion in daily life is a very good one.  I like the sound of a government that’s only functions are to protect life, liberty and property.  Sounds quite a bit like what the Founders were after in the early 1700′s doesn’t it?

Still, it is in New Hampshire.  Lord knows that states got more freaks per square foot than Hollywood, so to say that it was a bit of a bad location choice is a huge understatement.   Wyoming, Idaho or Montana would have made the project seem like another white separatist movement.  So I guess that New Hampshire was the only choice left.

Still, it’ll never take off in a big way.  And that’s a shame.

Did you guys read the latest from Sam the Eagle?

It seems the best way for the USA to solve it’s money problems is to spend more money.  Outstanding! I would have never thought of that one Joe.  Sounds like a hell of an idea to me.  Except for one small little thing, we DON’T HAVE ANYMORE MONEY TO SPEND!!  Joe’s boss has already quadrupled the national debt with a stimulus package that’s generating no new jobs.  So let’s just run the debt up a little more with even more spending.

If he’s serious then the nation is in deeper shit than I thought.  To say that if we don’t adopt a trillion dollar socialized health care policy the nation will go bankrupt is ludicrous.  Why don’t we try cutting back some of the entitlement programs that are devouring our treasury and warping the morals of the nation?  Force people to go out and create wealth that produces new jobs.  That’s the business of government, not passing out my money to lazy ass people.

And make no mistake about it my friends.  All this money that “Uncle Joe” wants to spend is only going to come from one place – your pockets.  The nation is broke. We’re near the end of our credit line.  That leaves your paycheck as the only source of income for this plan.  Can you really afford another 5 – 10% taken from your check?  How much of a personal recession does that create at your house?

Vote for change?  Well you got it.
