ACTION

Victory in the French and Indian War was costly for the British. At the war's conclusion in 1763, King George III and his government looked to taxing the American colonies as a way of recouping their war costs. They were also looking for ways to reestablish control over the colonial governments that had become increasingly independent while the Crown was distracted by the war. Royal ineptitude compounded the problem. A series of actions including the Stamp Act (1765), the Townsend Acts (1767) and the Boston Massacre (1770) agitated the colonists, straining relations with the mother country. But it was the Crown's attempt to tax tea that spurred the colonists to action and laid the groundwork for the American Revolution.

Did King George throw colonial America under the bus? Did the British Nabobs throw colonial India under the bus? Did America’s white racists throw black America under the bus? Did Obama throw Israel under the bus?  Obama takes the cake as an amateur politician.  In response to Obama’s offer to help—by taking the Palestinian position—Netanyahu bluntly told Obama: “It isn’t going to happen.”  Israel threw Obama under the bus.  Whatever he claims, Obama has finally said it all. Obama is no American.

I understand how Netanyahu felt. I’d had it. I was not going to take it anymore. Everyone I knew in 1975 thought I was a non-conforming nutcake, certainly not a good citizen.  In the news, I was called a tax protester. Judges called me a spurious constitutional objector.   The IRS called me a Fifth Amendment freak.  Society gave me the heave ho. When I departed my old life, to America it was good riddance.  Said I: “It isn’t going to happen.”  America didn’t thow this peon under the bus. Uncle Sam hung himself with his own rope. It is all recorded.  I made the front page in The Palm Beach Post. Uncle Sam ate crow.

Your government, for little cost, in a Ponzi scheme, gave the American people “insurance.” Such a deal!  Insurance actuaries told the American people, at the time Social Security became law, that this so-called federal insurance was not actuarially sound.  Years later, newspapers called Roosevelt’s “New Deal” the fraud of your future.

Good old conservative Republican Bob Dole whacked the hell out of the taxpayers to save a Roosevelt Ponzi scheme. Congress spent the extra revenue as fast as it came in, giving the American taxpayer worthless paper IOUs.

The American people have been dutifully paying into a federal Ponzi scheme since 1935 and now the truth comes out.  A cut in “federal insurance” benefits would cause millions of voters to look upon their representatives as exactly what they are, lying frauds.   

Republican Speaker Boehner weeps.  The U. S. Supreme Court looks upon federal welfare as “preferred freedom.”  In order to stop federal welfare, the government would have to show federal legislation that forked over taxpayer money to welfare recipients would present a clear and immediate danger and that the immediate danger was not some scattergun approach.   Would you say that having my meager entry-level wages withheld for federal welfare was just? The courts, the same was when black slavery was practiced in America, now go along with tax slavery.  I was locked out of my pad for non-payment of rent. Down the street from my room was a mile-long line of food stamp recipients.  According to American courts of law, the taxpayers don’t have the right to a crust of bread. Would you say that federal taxes help the working poor get a foothold?   The U. S. Supreme Court refuses to hear the case.

With impunity, good old Republican Bob Dole threw American taxpayers under the bus.  It’s typical for today’s politicians to benefit themselves at the future’s expense, by giving the present generation something later generations will have to pay for. It is typical for the courts to go along with such frauds.    

What makes you think anyone with authority knows better than you know what is good for you? 

Be prepared. America’s good times are as good as gone.

The light at the end of the tunnel:  In Wired magazine’s September 1997 issue, I saved Kevin Kelly’s “New Rules for the New Economy.”   Briefly, Kelly’s New Rules:

1.   The Law of Connections: The collapsing microcosm of chips and the exploding telecosm of connections will tear the old laws of wealth apart and prepare territory for the emerging economy.
2. The Law of Plentitude: Curious things happen when you connect all to all.  Adding a few more members can dramatically increase the value for all members
3. The Law of Exponential Value: The chart of Microsoft’s cornucopia of profits is a revealing graph because it mirrors several other plots of rising stars in a Network Economy. However, the same forces that feed on each other to amplify network presences into powerful overnight standards can also work in reverse to unravel them in a blink. Success will become nonlinear and self-regulating.
4.  The Law of Tipping Points:  Significance precedes momentum. Success became infectious and spread pervasively.  It became difficult not to be infected. For instance, how long could one hold out not having a telephone?
5. The Law of Increasing Returns:  Them that’s got shall get. It depends on this: while centralized government gets more punishing, the Network Economy rewards schemes that allow decentralized creation, and punishes those that don’t.
6. The law of Inverse Pricing: While the worst—government—gets more costly each year, the very best gets cheaper each year. It is a major engine for the new economy.
7. The Law of Generosity:   Microsoft makes huge profits by giving away its Web browser, thereby creating a need. 
8. The Law of Allegiance: The prosperity of the company is directly linked to the prosperity of the network. 
9. The Law of Devolution: The tightly linked nature of any economy, but especially the Network Economy’s ultraconnected constitution, make it behave ecologically. The fate of individual organizations is not dependent entirely on their own merits, but also on the fate of their neighbors, their allies, their competitors, and, of course, on that of the immediate environment. 

Innovators are going to reign supreme.  We are at the end of a dying age. Tag-alongs have had it.  The freaks in control today are going to be reduced to functionaries.  Time to get on the future’s bandwagon.  The best of all times are ahead.
