For the last half a century, America’s politicians and  social engineers, in their eternal quest for power and control of a free people, have been able to use a powerful weapon to achieve their goals.  And that was the word “RACISM.”  It was successfully used by those politicians and social reformers to transfer billions and billions of dollars from the productive segment to those which are less productive or pursuing a leisurely life-style.

    Unfortunately, there is not much anybody can do to eradicate “racism” from the face of the earth  because humans will continue to multiply in different colors, races and ethnic groups.  We cannot blame America for that.  If you are a Darwinist,  you may want to believe that humans evolved from monkeys and that originally monkeys came in three colors - white, black and yellow.  Then they inter-mingled and multiplied in Technicolor resulting in today’s human race.  As long as there were humans on this earth there were conflicts, strife, exploitation and wars.  America did not have a monopoly or a copyright on those human traits.  So why are our politicians and social engineers still selling “racism” as the evil monster only found in America?

    The answer is “thievery,” disguised as taxation.  There are three basic ways of taking money or things belonging to others - beg (fund raising), borrow or steal.  But the American politician found a fourth and lasting way to rob others - tax and take!  When governments put a lien on peoples lives and their belongings and take away money as taxes it becomes an obligation.  Taxation in America today is promoted as a sacred ritual and a divine obligation on one half of the population, while the other half is left off the hook to enjoy the blessings of liberty without paying even a down-payment for it.

    Taxation at all levels of governments, especially at the local level has increased recently into such epidemic proportions that free market workers are systematically being destroyed by greedy, arrogant politicians and their special interest buddies. Their wanton disregard for people’s basic rights and their need to earn and keep a decent living is appalling . Today taxation inflict ten times more severe pain and suffering on people  working in the private sector, than the “phantom racism” about which politicians and race industry promoters complain on a daily basis.  That is why we now should rename our social infatuation with taxation as TAXISM.  Now let us examine some of the disasterous side effects of taxism.

 First of all it creates a permanent underclass which is condemned to depend on others - government - for generations.  This dependence destroys people’s ability to develop their own talents and capabilities, earn their own living and ultimately realize their own American dream.  Unfortunately this underclass, which now number in the millions, is the capital and the raw material for another upper-class who founded their own highly profitable industry.  It is an industry that does not involve  any risk-taking nor face any competition in the market place.  The industry is the obese government bureaucracies and their product is “government care.”  Let us call these “corporations” TAXPORATIONS, because they are nothing but a business engaged in taking money from some people,  keeping a big portion for themselves and giving the rest to others.

    Taxporations are engaged in legalized armed robbery.  If man walks into a bank, demand money, and later share the loot with others they all have committed a crime.  But when government takes one person’s money and give it to another it is regarded as a sacred act of “compassion.” Today government uses tax dollars for thousands of purposes which nobody would approve if they had any power to stop it.  So the second and the worst side-effect of taxism is innocent workers in the free market sector who are legally robbed and they have to go without achieving a lot of life’s goals because their money was taken away and given to somebody who did not earn it.  For example millions of middle-class Americans have no way of saving any money because taxes are eating away a major chunk of what they earn.

The third side-effect of taxism is a divided nation, and a lot of people with hatred and envy toward businesses and “the rich.”  They are conditioned by the beneficiaries of taxism to think that it is the rich and the corporations which are responsible for their economic misery.  The reality is that unless there are millions of Americans held in bondage of dependence on tax dollars, the taxists - social engineers, government bureaucrats, union industries and race- peddlers - would go out of business for good.

Any attempt to make America a perfect nation is futile because there never was a perfect nation. Unless Americans wake up, appreciate this great nation, its generosity and its promise, not only to the 304 million members of the American family, but also to nations across the world; and learn to say THANKS AMERICA, we will soon be digging our own graves and cease to exist as America.

Dear Mrs. Pelosi,

I am ashamed to hear that The Speaker of The House of Representatives does not even know a simple, the most important, fact about our country - the population of the United States.  You got some nerve to go in front of the television cameras and tell the reporters that 500 million Americans are going to lose their jobs unless the "spending package" is passed right away.  As of 8 p.m. today (Feb:4, 2009) we have a total of 305,750,665 people in the United Stated.  Of course there are people in this country who will not question your figures even if you tell them that we already lost a billion jobs.  Only the reporters and those who voted for you will believe such careless pronouncements from "Madam Speaker."  The country needs leaders and you are not one.  Don't worry, God will save the planet.  Please go back to California and tend your vinery.

Dear President Obama,

Congratulations on becoming the 44th President of the United States and as a citizen of this great nation, our beloved America, I wish you the very best in the coming four years.

First of all let me introduce myself to you and explain who I am and why I am writing to you. I am one of the sixty million (59,934,786 to be exact) Americans who voted for the other Democrat who ran on the Republican ticket.

I am a naturalized, ordinary American citizen with an extraordinary thirst for knowledge and information about America and Americans who influence or mess up our daily lives. Communicating with them is one of my hobbies. I have been engaged in this quest for the last fifty-five years of which thirty-five were spent here in America. When I came to America I had eight dollars with me and today - after thirty-five years - I may have four dollars and some change after paying off all “toxic assets” that accumulated during the past several years because of massive taxation and progressive politics of a criminal class who holds the majority shares in our public corporation called The United States of America.

I am an AMERICAN. That means I consider FREEDOM as my birth-right and that freedom comes from GOD, not GOV. That is why I "hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal (and that goes for women too), that they are endowed by their CREATOR, (not their elected representatives) with certain inalienable rights, that among these are LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT of happiness." And I also completely agree with Thomas Jefferson that "to SECURE (not PAY FOR) these rights governments are instituted," and that "whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it and to institute new Government."

In the past thirty-five years I have lived in America I witnessed the gradual erosion of these basic truths, not because they are no longer valid, but because men with power will always subjugate their fellow-men, blackmail them and steal their freedom, their labor and their belongings.

In the past we called this this theft of other people’s rights and resources slavery. Today it is big, intrusive "government" which is destructive to the hopes, ambitions and dreams of millions of Americans. Those of us working in the non-government sector do not have any protection from the constant assault from 87,000 different forms of "governments" where 23,000,000 people have found a refuge for life-time-guaranteed jobs.

Those who run “the government” seem to hold on to a view that to protect this privileged class of bureaucrats governments are instituted, exactly opposite of what the Declaration of Independence states. Can you protect me and millions of others like me from obese governments whose primary function is to rob one group, count the money, keep a big chunk for themselves and re-distribute the rest to a permanent class of dependents.

I have a feeling that you, Mr. President, deep in your heart, is a true American, even though some of your past associations with certain Americans and their sermons leave some doubts in my mind. But when I read the letter that you wrote for Malia and Sasha in which you mention the importance of the words in The Declaration of Independence, I realize what a great father you are.

Mr. President, America is facing very serious, unprecedented challenges. You have just taken the pilot’s seat of US Air Flight 1549 and the plane is rolling on to the runway. Those sixty-nine million voters who put you on the captain’s seat were told by New York Times, CBS, TIME magazine and others that you are Captain Sully. I hope and pray you are. But when you promote trillion-dollar spending programs just keep one thing in mind, those Canada geese you see ahead, they look innocent but they are deadly. They represent free-loaders of all kinds, from big businesses to professional government-dependents. You can let a few into the engine - America’s economic engine - but too many, you are in peril.

I wish you the very best, Mr. President.

Sincerely,

The Blogtrotter
