College-Aged Kids #1 Issue: Income Tax

040408ronpaulincometax.jpg
Praise Zeus! Ron Paul has spoken in the state of Pennsylvania -- at the University of Pittsburgh -- and he got a packed house to cheer him on.

Alli Katz (Friend of D-Mac™, and also a co-worker) notes on Independence Brawl that the biggest cheer Ron Paul got all night was not for his talk of ending the drug war, but for his talk of ending the income tax.

"I didn't realize that people your age knew so much about money and inflation," Paul said. "But it gets the largest applause at college campuses. I figured the first time it happened it was an accident - it was at the University of Southern California. But then at the University of Michigan, they started to burn Federal Reserve notes."

Damn self-hatin' druggie college kids!

Still, it's good to see Ron Paul is in the Keystone State and is somehow still running for president despite McCain clinching the nomination. That kind of panache is going to get my write-in vote come November.

Ron Paul is his own brand. Last chance to vote for a founding father. Thanks for coming to PA, Ron, I can't wait to vote for you (wish I could pull the lever a hundred times!)

Look carefully at the trend of where we were and where we are now. The government does not represent us anymore, and “they” are no longer “us”. I am 53 and a previous Republican Navy/Vet. and the Republicans left me years ago to follow their own persuasions and promises.

I firmly believe we are very unlikely to fully “mend” the Constitutional cancers that have affixed themselves to the holes and amendments that we have allowed to be inflicted by our legislators and executive orders that emulate a drive-up window at McDonalds.

However how painful, a revolution must accompany the next changes in our government to de-scale and reestablish our federal, state and local governments to their proper and legitimate place.

In an engineering or science environment the control of an experiment must be based on a valid and solid hypothesis. In this case, we are changing the experiment and chasing the results based on who is controlling the experiment.

This experiment called a Democratic Republic is OUT OF CONTROL !!

My proposal is to elect someone who represents and articulates the Constitutional precepts of “Less is better”. In the last 30 years there is a very strong trend shown in Republican (conservative) actions, to ‘grow’ control of its base by Corporate and government interactions either directly or by proxy. The Democrats are no better except by the well used implementation of voter base promises and selective manipulation of the media to their own goals.

Obviously, there is no simple answer and even if Ron Paul is elected, the change will not be overnight, however, many of us previously known as “We the People” are no longer willing to be ‘We the sheepole’, and we know we need to move the this Democratic/Republic experiment back several decades. However, there is so much inertia, much like a ship that’s mass is so overburdened that we only have a short amount of time to make corrective decisions before we hit ‘the rocks’,
even if we make control inputs now.

If we elect any of the ‘status quo’ candidates presented to us it will be ineffective and we will likely have our national life jackets on within a year or so, and I am sure the UN will be there with its hands out, not to help us but to ask for more money so we will sink all the faster.

there are no more credits left on the machine and the government is going on an ‘autopilot’ set by people who want their own selfish reasons to will bring our country and its wonderful unique sovereignty and its intrinsic liberty to an abrupt and ugly end.

We all have our favorite programs and agendas that we would like our government to support, but unless we regain control of our government we will have no further options. We won’t be able to support any one, anywhere in the world because we
will be broke and impotent. There still is only one candidate who is still running, that will at least apply enough proper force to our ‘listing’ ship that we will have at least a chance of regaining control.

Let us regain our home in order first …

I'll vote for Ron Paul in 2008
