America under enemy rule and the world as it is
Power corrupts, no power– no corruptions, and let the Free Market save us from the power and money greedy crooks in governments, legislatures and courts.
All forms of bureaucracy, including government, share certain similarities. I will mention just a few of them, and you can add much more yourselves. I will refer to all bureaucrats as "they", while describing those enemies of freedom, the enemies of the people "at work".
a) They ignore presumption of innocence, they treat all of us as "guilty unless proven otherwise", which gives us an opportunity to challenge 100% of bureaucracy mandates from corporations to the states and federal levels as un-Constitutional (given the courts are not completely taken over by our enemies, by the freedom-hating "progressives");
b) They trust no one, they respect no one, they try to take a decision making powers from us completely; they assume that they are superior to you while you are a sheep to be guided by the "enlightened" bureaucrats;
c) Thus, they micromanage everything more and more, pushing more and more sticks in the wheels of self-regulation until they block all the processes of development to the point of deadlock;
d) They put totallay unnecessary burden of regulations, tasks, paper work on the shoulders of 100% of us in the futile attempt to single out very few bad apples. They punish 100% of innocent us frequently letting slip away the real culprits. (For example, disparmig only law-abiding citizens instead of criminals, whom they never will be able to disarm, which inevitably worsens violent crime rate. They demand exhaustive paperwork from all health workers claiming to prevent narcotics sell, which prevents nothing but steals time from the actual patient's care. Those damn bureaucrats demand even to return empty vials from propofol, toradol and the like (medicines that have zero abuse potential) wasting our time for bureaucrats paper care instead of patient care). The best thing that can happen to quality of medical care is if 100% of those federal, state, municipal and corporate bureaucrats would just disappear and the health care workers, doctors and nurses, would help the patients make decisions rather that damn bureaucrats make decisions for patients, doctors, nurses, health insurers and hospitals.
e) They feed on the paper, they generate piles and mountains of papers themselves, but demand us to generate even more to imitate activity and to justify the bureaucracy existence. Thus, they slow down the process, they worsen productivity of the system, they diminish useful outcome, they worsen efficiency of the manpower and hence hurt the country. The country would be 90% better if 90% of the bureaucrats would be fired for good and their positions eliminated (unfortunately, we cannot eliminate 100% of them, but 90% would be great). They could pick some garbage in the parks though– it'd be at least some use of them;
f) They use as an excuse any unfortunate event (that inevitably happens from time to time due to the law of big numbers in the natural course of events), any mishaps, any real, perceived or created by the bureaucrats "crisis", "emergency", "catastrophe" and the like to justify their further power grab, to worsen the avalanch of mandates and regulations and to tighten their control over their subjects with consequent worsening of economy, society life and general wellbeing within their reach until it is overloaded and collapses;
g) They are totally blind to the unintended consequences of their actions that happen in 100% of all bureaucracy interventions; their vision is a tunnel vision, they don't understand that everything in this world is interconnected and interrelated; that any action sends reverberations like a waves when you throw a stone in the pond. Their brain functions (should I say "malfunctions") mechanically, according to the formal logics, just like a robot's "brain", they are unable to grasp the whole picture, the process in development, in dynamics.
h) They always hurt those whom they claim to protect or to represent. If their "patrons" in a particular action/law are losers, parasites and trash, then they give them "short term gain for long term pain". If their "clientelle" in a particular case are decent people then they give them "short term pain and long term pain". They never get in practice the concept of the free market development that creates "short term pain for long term gain". Why they actively neglect it? Because free market proves time after time that more that 90% of those bureaucrats are harmful to the country, not just unnecessary. Of course, they subconsciously are in a state of denial.
j) They typically act on superficial assumptions basis against common sense, ignoring the laws of nature, including humans' nature, the laws of self-regulated processes with the feed back loop, including free market;
i) They are hell-bent on controlling you and couldn't care less about end-results. They just hide under the carpet everything that contradicts their views and exposes their practices as the faulty ones;
k) They have delusional way of thinking that their mere administrative powers somehow give them magical (low level bureaucracy) or divine (the government, especially the federal level) powers that can override the laws of nature;
l) They are sure that might makes right;
m) They falsely assume that their highly specialized education (knowing everything about nothing) somehow make them smarter than others, than "end-users", just because regular folks don't possess deep knowledge of the bureaucrat's particular field. They don't realize that actually opposite is true: regular folks have common sense and the real life experiences while those "ivory tower" specialists lose they common sense and step on the same rakes time after time. Thus, they keep worsening their micromanagement until they ruin everything to the point of collapse;
n) Judging by the current balance of "risk-benefit ratio" of the Big Government where negatives outwegh positives approximately 100:1 then we, the people, need to cut down permanently current size, scope and budget of all levels of government, especially feds, by about 99%. This should possibly yeald roughly the same 99% improvement in the efficiency of the economy, quality of life and it should save our freedom from the government for many more generations to come. If the next Congress will be not enough conservative, strong and understanding to weaken our enemy government by 99% then the gains will be smaller and the squid of the government will regenerate cut off tenticles faster. Each % of weakening of our enemy government is good as it makes country freer and more prosperous, but as bigger the government cuts as better. Size matters. Even more important-to prevent the hydra of government regrowing its tenticles. Say, we, the people reduce government size, scope and budget by 50%– the improvement will be at least 50% but leaving many government offices open means they will start growing back right away. You cannot reform and make "user friendly" your enemy by definition, you can only subdue it if you reduce its power by 99% and chain it down by the Constitution chains. If govenrment chained– you are free, if government broke free– you are chained by "chains be can believe in". There is no 3rd way– it's whether we, the people win and chain the government-or the government wins and chains us. Half-measures will give only temporary relief leaving to our enemy government opportunities to regroup and to grab more powers from us, the people later on. We are bound together like Harry Potter and Voldermort except we cannot completely eliminate each other. If a government completely obliterates the people like communists tried to do in Campuchia then there are no sheep to rule. If we, the people eliminate 100% of the government then we descend into anarchy, chaos with ensuing dictatorship. So, keeping permanently only 1% of the government is a nice compromise. Besides, if we, the people learn from the experience that we actually need to keep 1.5% of today's government– hey, it's always easier to throw more food to the beast than to take it back from the feeding monster. Expect really tough fight in the Congress next year when conservative patriots in Congress will try to put the boot on the throat of Congress itself. It's an uphill battle, and it can be won only if there is enough freedom-lovers in Congress and if the reform is complete and comprehensive (including 100% elimination of the professional career politicians class by Constituional 2 term limitation to any government official, elected or not, and to all ever passed by the Congress laws). Impeaching tripple-enemy of America Obama in early 2011 and medically excluding half-brainer Biden would definitely help save America by taking away the power of veto from the hands of the enemies of the people.
o) They push our country towards fiscal catastrophe, especially if they are backed by the hostile ideology such as socialist labor unions. Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security get a lot of negative attention as an example fiscal recklessness– and justly so, because the government collect our money reportedly for the programs, but then immediately embezzles it for other reckless spending, and when it's time to pay the debts– the government robs the new generation taxpayors again to pay off the government debts. However, the majority of unfunded government liabilities come the state and municipal levels where the socialist unions twist arms and get unearned money/benefits. Total amount is estimated to over 100 trillion dollars versus "only" 14 trillion dollar Obama's deficits. Some municipalities in California have 75% of their budget as payment to those unfunded liabilities. Previously illegal collective bargaining must be returned to the status "against the law", we must let the governments of all levels go bancrupt and pay a cent per dollar of unfunded liabilities to avoid full scale financial collapse of the country. Of course, these socialist labor unions pay bribes to politicians in order to keep the opportunity to rob the country, and Obama was one of their biggest recipients.
Well, you get the idea– the bureaucrats are our enemies by definition from the corporations to the government levels, and our task (however difficult it is) is to cut them down to 1% both amount of offices and available positions and to pay them according to the end results, whenever it's feasible. A bureaucrat was supposed to process a 1,000 application a month but processed only 100? He/she gets only 10% of the paycheck. As higher the level ob bureaucracy is as worse the outcome, as more enemies they are. So, the people should be aware that so far there are virtually no tangible benefits from the federal level of the government (which means it's time to close down ALL the feds offices, leaving open only 10% of CIA, 5% of FBI and 1% of the State Department), very little from the state governments (let's be generous and keep open 20% of them), and some benefits from the municipalities (alright, will close down only 70% of their offices). Reagan wasn't a revolutionary, he realized the limitations imposed by the full of people's enemies Democratically controlled Congress and by the public insuficient understanding of the powers of freer market. Reagan just reduced a little bit choking government grasp, decreased weight of the government shackles on the market's feet and it was good enough to create additional 30 trilion $ using the same resources. Hard to imagine benefits to all of us if 99% of the government shackles on our feet would be removed– America would immediatelly stop losing its leadship position in the world in all aspects. But Obama and his socialists in the Congress want just opposite-they want to reduce America to the 3rd world country because from their view America sets a dangereous for them expample that people do much better without coercion of "their betters", of the self-appointed "enlightened" elite, with minimal government, just like it was in America 200 years ago. Freedom and and first of all free market made America great, and it will make America even greater if we,the people will restore original Constitutions with ensuing liberties. Restoring Constitution means eliminating 99% of today's government size, scope and budget along with creating extra safety features to minimize risk of another power grab by hostile ideologies and by the Big Government, the people's enemy.
Worldwide if the peoples would folow our lead and also fire 90% of the governments, reducing 90% of their powers and budgets, then they would solve 90% of their problems and they would have 90% freer and more prosperous life.
If some lazy souls don't want to make decisions and take care of themselves– believe me, a government will exitedly jump on the oppurtunity to do so if one agress to sell a birth right…but at a price… and the price will go higher and higher by the time. It's going to cost you majority of your liberties and money, and it will cost life to the society as a whole.
Government is a very sneaky enemy. It uses noble sounding and emotionally compelling causes to initiate its slippery-slope death spiral to national suicide. "The government will take care of the cripples..don't they deserve (a government) protection, even if it takes a little bit of coercion?" It's a rethoric, a demagoguery– "a little bit" of rape is still the rape. What the incapacitated persons and the society as a whole deserve and will benefit from is keeping our enemy government out of picture. Our enemy government will use any excuse to grab more power and at some point of no return it grabbed enough powers to grab even more powers withous even asking us, the people, anymore. So, no matter how emotionally compelling or reasonably sounding the proposal is– if it is gives more power to the government, if it does use mandates, if it worsens the government control– just say big "NO". The society, the self-regulation processes in the form of private charities will take much better care of all folks that really need help without gradual destruction of our society, as any government interventions does.
Any task you want the Big Government to do inevitably descends to the common pathway: in the long run, it will gradually kill the country, however improbable it may sound. It doesn't matter how reasonable, logical or innocent the proposal seems, it doesn't matter how well you think you defined the goals and the limitations. The government will twist the law around to its own liking, and any government likes only 2 things: your powers and money. You want to use the government to fix ecology? The government will use it as a pretext to grab more power and more your money and eventually it will kill the country without solving the problem. You want government to solve economic problems (caused by the government over-regulation in the first place)? The government will use it as an excuse to grab more power and more money, ruining economy, greatly diminishing incentives to work hard and in the end it will gradually kill the country. Pick any problem– government will solve nothing, but it will create more and more problems while "solving" original one until it destroys the country. Government's cure is always worse than the original problem. The only real solution is to 100% remove the government from the "problem solving" business leaving to it only extremely narrow scope of activities that WE, THE PEOPLE allow government to do: some foreign affairs, some national defense and some crime fighting (even in these 3 areas the citizens in 90% will do better job). Everything else must be out of reach of our enemy government, just like it was delineated in the original Constitution. No government involvement in society life, no government role in economy regulation. Zero. Anything more than zero meets definition of "too much government". Nothing is perfect, so the self-regulation is not perfect– it is slow and requires patience, but self-regulation with the feedback loop (a.k.a. free market and free competition) is THE ONLY WAY to optimize society and economics, and it is the only way for a country to survive. The chain of events "statism=>socialization=> islamization" kills Europe and it will kill America too unless we, the people resurrect our Constituion and save America from its totalitarian government. Single most important aspect of freedom is "freedom from the government".
You might mistakenly think that since the government consists of human being that it is the human entity. Unfortunately, not so. As they noted in Rome "Senatores– boni viri, senatus– mala bestis", which means "The senators are decent guys, but the Senate as a whole is malicious beasts". The same building material can be used to build a shrine, a library of a gallows. Government by definition is your enemy, it competes with you for your decision making powers and for your money. Even if you elect good guys, if the government is "built" out of "decent " bricks the government as an entity is still your enemy. Government is always bad, but you can determine how bad it will be by how much power and money you delegate to your enemy government. You can decide to have a small enemy government, a mid-size enemy government, or a big powerful enemy government. Just remember– as soon as you give life to the Frankenstein monster of the government then it will decide on its own what todo, and it always chooses to grab more power and money unless you follow the Founding Fathers' wisdom and chain down your enemy government with the chains of original Constitution (not twisted and watered down today's "progressive" version of it), guarded but unlimited freedom of speech and the right of the people to bear arms. 1st Amendment warns us when the individual liberties are threatened by our enemy government and 2nd Amendment preserves the rest of them.
I suggest reading "Why government doesn't work" by Harry Browne. Nice book and very correct in the domestic part, especially the list of measures that he would took if he would be a president. Kind of naive about isolationism policy though. Islamofascism tries to take over the whole world. If we don't fight Shariah law also all over the world then they still will come to destroy us here. Being nice to jihadists doesn't change their goals which is to kill all the infidels and take over the world. As the worst form of totalitarianism, islamofascism knows that the main obstacle to islamofascism is the beacon of freedom, America. And that's why they try to destroy America as a single remaining fortress of freedom in the world. Jihadis' accomplice in the White House does his best to destroy America too. No amount of appeasement, of dhimmitude, of submission will change the fact that destruction of America is the crucial objective of the world-wide jihad. It doesn't matter what we say or do– as long as America stays the freest country in the world, then it will be the main target of ALL the freedom-haters from soft Euro-totalitarians and harder communist/post-communist totalitarians to the worst totalitarians ever– islamofascists. Soft European totalitarians just envy us, more totalitarian regimes like China, Russia and Venezuela hate us and undermine our positions and the islamofascists wage the full-blown war against us using all the means at their disposal.
To mention once more just a few reasons why government never works:
a) All the processes in such complex systems in the dynamic stability state (such as life, economy, society and the like) with innumerable factors interacting in a real time and with indefinite numbers of possible outcomes THE ONLY WAY to optimize the process and the outcomes is the self-regulation with the tight feedback loop. The tighter the feedback loop is-the better tuned the process and the better outcomes are.
b) 300 million of Americans combined represent a huge wisdom of ages, of personal experiences, of individual responsibilites, of traditions and the habits of the decision making for themselves. Meanwhile any government consists of very few people who typically are narrow-minded specialists in a very narrow area but they have big and arrogant heads and the elitist attitude "know-it-all", so even a bunch of these "experts" possess a tiniest imaginable faction of the total knowledge and experiences of 300 million of Americans. Beside, those leitist are next to zero in practical matters, these absent-minded professors and mad scientists hardly know how to tie their shoes. All they can is eloquently using fancy words to show off. All Obama's teamsters (himself included) screw up their own finances and other affairs but have a nerve to claim they can "manage" our personal affairs better than we can?
c) government actions are based on coercion, they violate people's will and the decision making process, thus, people don't want to comply;
d) government's action have zero or minimal feed back, so they interfere with the self-regulation processes, disrupt and distort them, cause disbalances, suboptimal utilization of resources and in 100% of cases they worsen the outcome. That's why Jefferson observed that the good government is the one that governs as less as possible (because whatever government does– it does it wrong). Before the government's "civil rights" and "antidiscrimination" acts of the 60-s the gap between whites and blacks was narrowing, after them it started widening. The discrimination practices slowly but surely were being rooted out by the free market forces-after the acts the government perpetuated the discrimination merely changing the object of discrimination, creating reverse discrimination. The schools were much better but after nationalization the quality of education keeps dropping to new lows. The crime rates were much lower but after the government started "war on crime, war on drugs" the crime rates skyrocketed. Despite occasional accidents, armed households prevent majority of the violent crimes, but wherever the government disarms the law abiding citizens– the murder and other crime rates jumps to the skies.
e) government actually is interested not in solving problems but in worsening them. Imagine, all the problems are solved, there is no need in the government bureaucrats and government's budget any more– they are fired or at least deprived of power and money What happens if they as usually screw up? In the name of solving one problem they actually create 10 other problems, and then for "solving " created by the government itself problems it will grab from us more power and more money– they are in business! This perverse incentives to screw up counts too.
f) The only way government acts is by using coercion, mandates and controls, and when it sets up the mandates it also puts in charge a bureaucrat, a human being, who is prone to make mistakes (to err is human) and to be corrupted by invested in him/her powers. Power corrupts, the more power-the more currupted the government is, and no change of the players "for the honest ones" will whether not help at all or help only temporarily, until the angel in the bureaucratic chair has died or retired. You cannot rely on the subjective factors, you can only rely on the objective ones: if the government has nearly no power-then there will be nearly no corruption.
g) The government has a mind on its own, no matter what the minds of the building government "bricks" are, just as a crowd psychology has nothing to do with the psychology on the individuals in the crowd. No matter what your noble intention are when you try to solve a problem through the government, the government will start twisting, distorting and shifting you bill as soon as you submit it, and in order to pass it you will have to make so many compromises, to fill it with so much pork to get the votes that in the end you will not recognise your own proposition. But what happens after the passing bill is even worse because the unelected government bureaucrats will interprete, misuse and abuse your bill the what THEY want long after you are gone. It is still not the worst– the worst part is when the men in black, the judicial activists will start re-writing from the bench and re-intepreting your law to their liking until it becomes completely opposite from the intended one. And then the un-intended consequences hit: again, when the government interferes into the immensely complex salf-regulating processes, then it's "fixing problems" resembles the most a monkey "fixing" computer of a wall clock with the stick.
