Individual Rights First!

Rights First has always been the motto of this site. We only have a nation worth protecting if that nation puts the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness first. Those are natural rights as are the right to eat, drink, breath, own property, reproduce and speak freely. The nation that puts individial rights first is the only nation that is worth protecting.

The only right of a nation is to protect our individual and natural rights. That is the promise of America.

The RNC has the motto “Country First”. I hope the RNC realizes that that only applies to a country that protects the individual and natural rights of their citizens.

You can build a country by making a list of human rights and then writing a constitution that protects those rights. Putting country first and then writing a constitution only builds a tyranny.

I can, however, respect the “Country First” slogan from John McCain.

1) The slogan has to do with his feelings and is not advice for government (hopefully).
2) That slogan had genesis in his Hanoi POW cell.
3) That slogan is to implicate that Obama does not place country first but that Obama places Obama first.

Nevertheless, I think slogans like that compromise the lowest level of thinking; feeble brains use them as principles.

This site is in favor of the use of lottocracies of the able to select our representatives and candidates.

Good people struggle in America

Good people struggle in America. There is no magic bullet for success. Jobs for the college educated have been outsourced. One in a million makes it in sports. Real Estate is depreciating. Our children are indentured slaves to near infinite debt. Police brutality is protected. Fines and punishment of entire families soar. We sacrifice some children at the altar of the military. We sacrifice more at the altar of the oil barons. Our democracy is an illusion. Our justice is evil.

It is irresponsible to extol the virtues of this government.

This nation has tremendous potential. There’s plenty of land and water. Natural resources are plentiful. Solar and Geo energy is infinite. The American people are willing to wear the yoke and toil without complaint for government and the opulent. The American people are capable of tremendous sacrifice bordering on the stupid. We have been educated to work and be blind to government flaws. America is the sleeping giant.

It is irresponsible to let America sleep.

A solution to the two party system

Russian President Nikita Khrushchev told President Nixon:

“If people believe there’s an imaginary river out there, you don’t tell them there’s no river there. You build an imaginary bridge over the imaginary river.”

If we consider that the two party system is an imaginary bridge, what is the imaginary river that they solve? The two party system is real enough, but what’s the bridge do? It seems to give control to a group of mysterious people that don’t have to have an obvious agenda. This group just argues about imaginary problems while the real agenda proceeds driven by those in control. Can’t call those in control leaders, because they are really dictating the agenda. Perhaps the two party system is an imaginary way that Americans get imaginary leaders.

Perhaps the imaginary river is our form of democracy. Of course the concept of democracy is imaginary because we are voting for people to vote for us. If that were the case, our democracy might not be imaginary but that the people that represent us can promise anything and deliver nothing. To make our democracy even more imaginary, there are false issues that are argued year in and year out while real issues go without any debate. Why, for example, is police brutality protected by the courts and the statutes?

The imaginary bridge to our imaginary democracy solves the problem of how to narrow down the number of candidates and the number of issues so that the media can sell the candidates. This solution creates a fallacy of too few choices or, worded differently, the fallacy of a false dichotomy. Of course false dichotomies are used to fool and brainwash people, as are all fallacies.

A solution to the problem of the two party system can be created without finding out who is really in control and what the hidden agenda of both parties are. This solution was created in 600BC an touted as the true democracy by none other than Plato himself. The system was implemented and used in Athens, the cradle of democracy.

The solution to the two party systems and all the related problems is the lottocracy. Randomly drawing the names of our Representatives from a pool of all Americans that have a degree from a four year accredited university would solve many problems. The two party system would be eliminated. Proportional numbers of each profession would be selected – not all the representatives would be lawyers. Proportional numbers of each sex, race and creed would be selected. Lobbies would be eliminated. The need to hear speeches filled with false promises would be eliminated. The need to raise money would be eliminated. Fear of reprisals from powerful blocks of voters-contributors would be eliminated.

A lottocracy would eliminate the imaginary bridge to the imaginary river.

Do Politicians get it?

Americans want world peace, low taxes, medical care, more jobs, better paying jobs, justice, an affordable house, affordable college educations, affordable energy, a robust economy and a retirement plan. Americans also want safe homes, workplaces, cities and country.

Note that Americans do not want more outsourcing, more competition from abroad, bigger government, war, or more taxes. Nor do Americans want more lawyers, more laws, more trials, or more judges. Nor do Americans want to continue to protect police brutality, send innocent people to jail, huge fines or disproportionate punishment.

Why is it Americans want paragraph one and get paragraph 2?

Capitalism Versus Socialism

Capitalism, in the extreme, can be thought of an auction type trade system with no regulation. Pure capitalism could happen in a system of anarchy (no government). Pure socialism could be thought of as a system where government controls production and the distribution of goods and services.

In pure capitalism we would see prostitution, drug trade, trade of slaves and trade in all types of weapons. Even parts to make nuclear weapons could be bought and sold. Military secrets could be bought and sold. Capitalism is an auction where the highest bidder gets what he wants.

In pure socialism, the government would force workers to produce. The production would be grabbed by other workers and distributed to all. There is no auction. Money could be a coupon.

Then there is what I call cultivated capitalism which is analogous to a garden, nursery or farm. The parasites and predators are controlled. Water is supplied when there is a drought. Fertilizer is added when needed. The soil is tested and the acidity/alkalinity is controlled. Regulations are made as to what plant grows where. Blights and diseases are controlled. Farmers have the choice to grow what they want, how much they want and by what method (organic or chemical).
Isn’t it obvious which system is best?

Pacifying Americans

The children on these cars think they are driving, even if the cars are on tracks. They love it!

The child adults of America think their vote actually does something. They really get all excited about voting. They even argue with one another as if it meant something.

We argue about what the mysterious “others” want us to argue about. The “tracks” are the perennial issues of abortion, gun laws, taxes and the military. What car do we want? The car made by the Democratic party or the car made by the Republican party. Both cars will go down the same set of tracks (laid by the mysterious others) whether made by the Democrats or the Republicans.

Like cars on the highway. The highway tells us where to go. The cops tell us how fast to go. We have the freedom to crash our vehicle or get a ticket. That’s freedom friends.

Better American Taxes

We use taxes to redistribute the wealth of the working class while keeping the opulent in total control.

Look at social security. Bill Gates pays 15,000 of 50,000,000,000 in social security. I’ve paid 15,000 of 100,000 (including my employer’s contribution during my best two years) in social security. Bill Gates paid 1/500,000 th the percentage that I paid.

1.) People making less than $100,000 a year should not pay taxes!
2.) People making over $100,000 a year should pay social security.
3.) The spending of federal government should be capped at the present level.
4.) Income over $100,000 should be taxed at a flat rate sufficiently to raise enough to supply the necessary government revenue but capped at 50% for ALL government revenues (property, sales, social security and income). No person should ever pay more than 50% of their income stream to government.
5.) Social security shall be collected from all incomes, but at a reduced rate.
6.) Corporations don’t have to pay taxes or social security. A national sales tax, capped at 7%, replaces this revenue.
5.) Amendment XVI should be modified to reflect the above.

This Site Endorses Paris Hilton and the Libertarian Party

Paris Hilton Adv Why not?

This site also endorses the Libetarian Party. The following statement of principles is from the Libertarian Party site at Libertarian Statement of Principles

We, the members of the Libertarian Party, challenge the cult of the omnipotent state and defend the rights of the individual.

We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.

Governments throughout history have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the State has the right to dispose of the lives of individuals and the fruits of their labor. Even within the United States, all political parties other than our own grant to government the right to regulate the lives of individuals and seize the fruits of their labor without their consent.

We, on the contrary, deny the right of any government to do these things, and hold that where governments exist, they must not violate the rights of any individual: namely, (1) the right to life — accordingly we support the prohibition of the initiation of physical force against others; (2) the right to liberty of speech and action — accordingly we oppose all attempts by government to abridge the freedom of speech and press, as well as government censorship in any form; and (3) the right to property — accordingly we oppose all government interference with private property, such as confiscation, nationalization, and eminent domain, and support the prohibition of robbery, trespass, fraud, and misrepresentation.

Since governments, when instituted, must not violate individual rights, we oppose all interference by government in the areas of voluntary and contractual relations among individuals. People should not be forced to sacrifice their lives and property for the benefit of others. They should be left free by government to deal with one another as free traders; and the resultant economic system, the only one compatible with the protection of individual rights, is the free market.

Needed Tax Amendments for America

The majority doesn’t have the right to take from the minority. The majority doesn’t have the right to kill any minority. Nor does the majority have the right to decide the tax rate on the minority. On this premise, our ignorant/evil legislators just decided that taxing everybody was fair. Talk about stupid!

American government goes one step below mere ignorance. The American government actually becomes evil – not merely ignorant, because it allows the MINORITY to determine the taxes of the MAJORITY!

Tax principles are sufficiently important that they need constitutional amendments!

Such constitutional amendments would specify:
1) The total revenue that could be collected by government as a percentage of the GDP (or something like that).
2) That the income and property that the average family needs for housing, food, transportation, clothing, health and education should not be taxed.
3) Social Security taxes should be flat across the entire income range. Furthermore, any amount borrowed from the social security fund shall be paid interest at the prevailing rate. Also, social security revenues shall not be used for any other purpose other than retirement.

Say NO to our evil/ignorant government!
