Who is John Galt.

Atlas shrugged. And we are about to find out that there are a lot of John Galt folks out there.

Brodsky is shocking. Economic policy is set by the polling outcomes of economic illiterates. If the unwashed masses are for it then it must be good. The rich won´t flee higher rates, tell that to the French. Peter Schiff tried talking sense to the Occupiers too.

I tried to watch that interview. Peter Schiff makes so much sense, but the Lefty/Liberal/Progressive would not shut his trap so that discussion points could be made. He did what all the Leftists do, talked over Peter when it was not his turn to talk. The Left is just filled with evil propagandists.

This is slavery and happens when you have representation without taxation.

If you don´t pay tax you shouldn´t get to vote on how taxes are used.

Yes, Peter, they absolutely do have the right to steal your money. It´s the fatal flaw of democracy, and the tipping point just occurred this past election. De Tocqueville predicted it. John Adams predicted it. Benjamin Franklin and even Winston Churchill commented on it.

Too bad Romney made an intemperate comment that was made public, but it is the truth. Over half the population are total losers and takers, or are in the government bureaucrat / lawyer / media class that thrives on the expansion of the loser class.

What #2 said...Who is John Galt?

Finally, someone just SAID IT! What else can the blacks, hispanics, poor single women, and non-religious demand of us? The imagination runs wild!

The writers of the Constitution argued against the.tyranny of the majority. That is one of the reasons for longer terms for senators.

When our country was founded, only men with real property or sufficient wealth for taxation were permitted to vote.
Anyone starting to see the wisdom in this?

Everyone needs to realize that the increased taxes are NOT indexed. Does everyone remember all of the QE programs? LOTS of money has been printed. It´s not really in circulation yet because the banks have borrowed newly printed money from the Fed (@ 0%) and invested it in gov´t bonds. It´s not a huge spread - but when you borrow at 0% - it´s pure profit.

Anyway, once that money starts leeching into the economy, we´re going to have BIG inflation. $100,000 will be the new $30,000. A whopping big tax increase for everyone. Bank on it!

we have come full circle "Taxation without representation"
Those who don´t pay taxes shouldn´t be able to vote on increasing taxes, and those who are on the government dole shouldn´t be allow to vote at all. Conflict of interest!

None of these things could happen if we still had a representative republic. Now those elected to represent us have other agendas other than what is best for the country.

There is no RIGHT to vote for President..
see Gore vs Bush (Supreme Court ruling)

There is a moral dimension to this problem. The idea has become fashionable that certain people (insert your favorite hated target group such as "the rich", or "the jews", or "the whites") are intrinsically evil and "deserve" to be treated violently, whether that violence is in the form of economic confiscation, or through other levels of violence. The end game is the ultimate violence, namely to murder the hated other. The 20th century was a vivid example of this principle, with high-sounding "philosophies" ("Marxism-Leninism", "National Socialism", and the like) being used. This process appears to be continuing in the present century, aided by the vast increase in technical means to control populations. Read "Lethal Politics" (R. J. Rummel) and "Murderous Science" (Benno Muller-Hill) to see what may be in prospect for the human race.

Yes they do.
"All your bases is ours."

We have been nationalized.
We are owned, we are slaves, we are state property.
Karl Marx said so.
So forget about it.
If you read Lucianne, you have no representation in Congress. Congress represents only those who cling to power by lying.

Enjoy your slavery. Don´t worry. You won´t live long. The Death Panels will see to that.
