Those who have read my blogs know that I grasped today’s Tea Party concerns thirty-fives years ago. It is good to have so many people on my side. I sublimated my anger with positive action. Tea Party members must be aware that for the past 70 years the powers that be have been training Piscean people, who are sensitive to social issues, people easily influenced, people who desperately want to do the right thing but are too quick to see other people’s problems, too quick to listen to self-serving authority.
Tea Party members are of the Aquarian discipline: we are our brothers’ keepers. We most act accordingly. The last time Republicans took control, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and his Contract for America so frightened Piscean people that the Republicans lost control. We need to start a reverse cycle that moves at about the same pace as the current cycle of destruction—reeducate Piscean people to their new age reality.
Social Security should be voluntary, but it also should be arbitrarily phased out—no new workers on Social Security. Let it die on the vine. States that are bankrupt should have the right to declare bankruptcy. Unions will continue to plant fear in the hearts of the American people as long as they see it working. Unions will never listen to reason until they know they will get nothing if they don’t.
The same reasoning applies to the income tax. The Gestapo IRS should be replaced with a tax on spending. The help-your-fiends-punish-your-enemies federal income tax, which costs hundreds of billions of dollars just to comply would be done away with. It should be replaced with a tax on spending. Technology allows for essentials to be tax free. The working poor would not pay tax on food clothing and shelter. They would not be forced to pay social security taxes, nor would their employers. The change should be aimed at giving the poor a leg up, not a federal fist and dependence on government.
Senator Reid is spending a million dollars advertising that his opponent is going to do away with Social Security. Bless Senator Reid. Instead of correcting the desperate, lying big spenders, the Tea Party should discuss how the changes proposed will keep seniors from suddenly finding that the money has run out; instead of members of unions finding that their pension money has run out, a change to keep Social Security recipients and union pensions in place should be discussed. That’s what they want to hear and don’t hear from the big spenders. Let us help Reid spend his million for nothing. Don’t give him an argument. Let him talk to himself.
People need to be educated to the fact that printing press money with nothing behind it is the government’s usual and customary way to monetize the debt with inflation—water down money. It helps the irresponsible spendthrift and hurts those who save for a rainy day. It punishes the resourceful and aids the indolent. It is putting off until tomorrow the growing problem of overspending, and the drastic measures our children and their children will be faced with. The usual and customary thing: place blame on those who make the wheels turn. The big spenders’ policy is a no brainer, no win policy. Leave it be. They don’t deserve an answer.
Everyone is aware now that we must stop the systematic rush to bankruptcy and the inevitable change for the worse. The problems the big spenders have caused is clear enough today that we can ignore their scare tactics. The progressives have proven conclusively theirs not the right answer.
People are not going to risk their capital with government in control of the economy. You don’t use up your seed corn. You don’t kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Let the incompetent big spending fools rant on unanswered. Let Vice President Biden, the “smart ass,”continue turning people off. Let Obama continue to “kick ass,” while the oil spill continues to prove his incompetence. Let Obama continue to fire his help. It does him harm. Let Obama’s picks of the crop do our work for us. It doesn’t cost us a dime. It simply gives us good reason to talk of positive cures. Reagan had the right answers.
Remember though, it can’t be done overnight. The Tea Party should ignore the opposition’s dumb answers and discuss positive changes. We must calmly and patiently move the nation slowly but surely away from government control of the economy. People are more than ready for a change. Give them a chance to think the right answers through. The economy is the wealth producer and it takes capital to expand the economy. Tea Party talk should be aimed in that direction.
