At
the end of the rainbow there was once a land with no parallel in
recorded history. Its skies were blue, its brooks, streams, and
rivers were clean, all teeming with life.
Its
soils were rich with nutrients. Its wildlife was a wonder to behold.
It was a big land, bordered by three massive, roaring, and healthy
seas and five great, wondrous lakes.
Its
people were godly and industrious, with an unmatched output. Its
small family farms fed the world. Its schools, the best in existence.
The people were moral, with large family units being the basic
building blocks of their glorious society.
For
almost a century and a half the people paid few income taxes, and all
other kinds of taxes were minimal.
The
people were informed on civic affairs, some walking miles to argue
politics.
Its
central government was so small that every citizen felt they
personally had a say in the direction of their country. They believed
in what Mark Twain said: “The government’s function is to obey
orders not originate them.”
Crime,
perversion, and apathy were almost unknown. Families saved money and
were shamed by debt and usury.
People
were individuals and shunned the degraded hive of collectivism. They
gloried in their protected individualism. After all, that was why
they had a Constitutional Republican form of government – the best
in the world for a free and brave people. Their dream became a
reality for millions.
The
country?
The
United States of America.
Where
did it all go?
The
big slide was secretly hatched on Jekyll Island, Georgia, in 1910 by
enemies of America, enemies of all forms of life.
On
December the 23rd of 1913, the sub rosa plan passed Congress and was
soon signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson. It was the Federal
Reserve Act.
On
the heels of that abomination, the federal income tax became a
fixture, a permanent fixture in the United States of America.
Then
in rapid order came World War I, the Great Depression, World War II,
and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
War
and hard economic times were also to become permanent fixtures in the
American landscape.
Since
1913, the US dollar has lost ninety-three percent of its value with
one criminal war following another as the principle cause.
Now
we have a Congress clamoring for yet another war, while making the US
dollar ever more worthless.
But
still, with enough decaying dollars, some Americans are super rich.
In the US today, we have a concentration of wealth never before seen
in history – all because of the fascistic control to which our
government has fallen.
The
top one percent of super-rich Americans share an aggregate net worth
that is greater than the wealth of the bottom ninety percent of US
citizens combined.
The
majority of Americans earn less than $35,000 a year, which is less
than the average mega-corporation CEOs earn for one day of work –
on which they pay only token income taxes.
This
is fascism at work, all allowed by bought-and-paid-for politicians,
judges, and bureaucrats.
Fascism
is not a level playing field; it is government following the orders
of banking oligarchs and favoring the banker-owned mega-corporations
over small businessmen and aspiring entrepreneurs.
Unfettered
free enterprise levels the playing field. A level playing field is
all about fairness and justice. It does not mean each player has an
equal chance of succeeding, but that they all play by the same set of
rules – something the oligarchs will never allow.
The
banking oligarchs must either criminally control governments or else
they lose.
This
is why their prime talent lies in deceitfully influencing governments
with all manner of bribes, blackmail, war, and death.
Business
entrepreneurs (including small family farmers) not only level the
playing field of doing business, they spread the wealth broadly
amongst the population – one of the last things that will be
allowed by the oligarchs.
Please
understand that these autocrats are so psychotic they go into rages
when anyone other than themselves wins in life. This may be difficult
to believe, but once you do, you will have taken a giant step in
understanding life in our world. In the simplest of words, it would
violently upset them to ever hear that you are doing well in life.
With
most free-market entrepreneurs, the situation is quite reversed. The
better their goods and services and the more money they pay their
workers, the better their organizations and the more money
entrepreneurs make for themselves.
Sadly,
however, I must admit that the foreign banking oligarchs have all but
eliminated the American entrepreneur. This was done largely by means
of governmental taxes, legislation, and regulations, none of which
adversely affect the banking tycoons.
At
one time, most of America’s middle class were employed by
entrepreneurs and were responsible for our nation’s wealth of
production and services; the banker’s corporations only provided
about thirty percent of America’s gross national product.
This
is another difficult concept for some to understand until they
realize that the large corporations, owned by the oligarchs, have
always off-shored production and wealth with little or no alliance to
America.
In
fact, most of the robber barons today in America make their money
with keystrokes on their computers.
Yes,
I know, it’s far more complicated than that, but did you know that
it was purposely made more complicated in order to hide the criminal
nature of their means of wealth?
But
surely anyone can understand that these foreign and domestic
oligarchs provide precious few well-paying jobs to Americans.
Jobs
in America really took a dive in 1999 when Congress and President
Bill Clinton repealed the Glass-Steagall Act. But Clinton was not
done. He also signed the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)
that some said immediately cost the US over a million jobs.
Clinton
was so flagrant with his gross irresponsibility some wags referred to
him as the Out-Sourcer-in-Chief.
Still
there are actually some Americans who want his wife, Hillary, to
become President. Is there any wonder why America and her workers are
in such sad shape?
But
certainly, the Republican Party will not provide us with a viable
alternate candidate.
To
raise the unemployed up off their dirt floors, our federal government
must institute laissez-faire enterprise and cease funding the bankers
with taxpayer subsidies, trillion-dollar bailouts, and tax
exclusions.
Our
working classes are the heart of our country. And they are best led
to prosperity by bright, innovative, and energetic entrepreneurs and
not by the likes of banking tycoons who make themselves super rich
with keystrokes on their computers, at the expense of ninety-nine
percent of us.
Inflationary
fiat currency is not long-term wealth. Real wealth is the food
farmers grow in their fields, what engineers design in their garages,
or what some young Ford or Edison discovers, produces, and sells to
the American public at prices they can afford.
Fiat
currency (backed by no more than a hope and a prayer) created by a
slew of unimaginative bankers, whose only skill is controlling
governments, will never rescue the poor, or anyone else, besides
themselves.
America
is crying out for a new birth of freedom and prosperity, and that can
only come from a rebirth of the American entrepreneur – with no
unnecessary federal governmental interference.
The
highly publicized economist Mr. Milton Friedman is associated with
his trickle-down
theory of economics.
The
theory actually claimed that if we allowed the super-rich to become
even richer, wealth would trickle down to everyone.
Mr.
Friedman, I know that the press has anointed you to be a world-class
economist, but your trickle-down theory has been a disaster, except
for those who own the major media that has given you such praise.
Friedman’s
theory is actually the horse
and sparrow theory:
Give the horse enough oats and some oats will pass in the horse’s
manure onto the street for the sparrows to pick out. And that is
exactly what the American public has been getting: lots of horse
manure, with damned few oats.
Increased
taxes but reductions of public services
Of
course, the super-rich bankers love Friedman’s theory. Why else
would the corporate press have raised Mr. Friedman to sainthood? In
any case, the trickle-down theory has become the basis of every US
presidential administration from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama.
Real
wealth is produced in the minds of entrepreneurs and in the resulting
marketplace, with the government doing no more than enforcing fair
play on a level field.
In
this fashion our entrepreneurs will become rich, with their
not-so-gifted brothers and sisters becoming our new middle class.
Hail
to the American entrepreneur, and down with the conniving usurers of
the private banking world whose skills start and end with instigating
wars, buying off politicians, judges, and bureaucrats, and ruining
healthy national and worldwide economies, along with the associated
national infrastructures.
Nothing
will improve in America until our government refutes our phony and
illegal national debt to the foreign banking syndicate and then
quickly indicts all banking moguls.
Next,
the US Treasury Department should become the source of our currency
and credit, the amount of the US dollar in existence commensurate
with our gross domestic product.
This
balance must be closely and wisely monitored by enlightened and
honest public servants in order to prevent either inflation or
deflation.
The
more we produce in America, in terms of real goods and services, the
more money and credit can there be – and should be.
The
production of goods and services that people need and want should
lead to more money and credit in existence for all working Americans
– which can conceivably be ninety-five percent, or more, of the US
population.
The
production of war materials, so beloved by the banker’s military
industrialists, is a dead end, which destroys rather than leads to
more production and wealth.
Rather
than destroying infrastructures abroad, we should rebuild our own. We
need new bridges, better roads, deeper water ports, repairs to our
national grid, and the cleaning up of our various water supplies.
All
of that, along with a laissez faire national economic policy would
lead to more national production, followed by greatly increased
domestic and foreign sales.
Such
success would allow our US Treasury Department to issue even more
money and credit – all without income taxes or usurious interest
payments to criminal, private, and foreign bankers.
May
our government and citizens cease being debtors to a criminal
syndicate.
Where
did it all go? To criminal bankers and their lackeys in government.
We
can, however, get it all back … and more. But we need the return of
the great American entrepreneur, along with an honest and competent
government.
