1Declaration: Free Markets, Free People, Free Minds

This news column was first brought to my attention during the Neal Boortz Show on April 1st. It turns out Hillary stole documents and ushered them to her office which proved the Nixon would have been allowed a representation during impeachment hearings. She then wrote a knowingly false legal brief that if it had been submitted would have gotten her disbarred and her legal and political career would have ended. She was fired from the House Judiciary Committe for unethical behavior.

Former general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee Jerry Zeifman, a longtime Democrat, has kept a diary of the events and has tried to get the story published since the mid-1990's. Look for this to hit the mainstream news soon.

Please check out this excellent article written by Dan Calabrese of the North Star Writers Groups exposing Hillary Clinton's lies back to her brief time on the House Judiciary Committee.

Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior

Let's lay out a little background before I apply this seemingly difficult concept for alot of parents and politicians to our current political situation and state of American's.

Right now I work at a local retail store so I know this story all to well. Although, I am sure that all of you are also familiar with it almost every time you go into a supermarket or other store of your choice. Maybe this will take you back.

Your shopping in your local grocery store and you see a parent and her children walk buy. Suddenly you hear the child ask for that box of sugary cereal or candy sitting on the shelf. Under most circumstances the parent quickly replies with a "no." All of you know what happens next. The kid starts whining, running around, screaming, and making such a ruckus that you think the parent is beating them silly. The parent then tries to calm the child but invariably fails. After all this is probably not the first time this happened, actually I can guarantee it (the same thing happens to the at home). Invariably words do nothing so the parent puts the candy in the basket but the whining doesn't stop so the parent adds some more and the child stops whining.

If you are one of these parent's shame on you for giving in. Your kid has learned that whining will eventually get them the things that they wants. Put more simply, you have rewarded negative behavior so the behavior will continue to happen. By this time I figure your wondering where this is leading if you were educated in our government schools (yeah I don't like our government schools though we'll leave that discussion for a later day) what does this have to do with anything. Your child has learned that bad behavior and actions will get them the thing that they want because you have rewarded them instead of punishing them.

Let's take this concept in a new direction. In the United States we have millions of people utilizing welfare services whether they be in the form of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security (this will get everyone eventually, even me who is an ardent opponent of this program), or food stamps which is estimated in a recent report to top 28 million this year. If you haven't figured out where I'm going yet I'll lay it out.

A large majority of the people on welfare in this country believe that the money from these programs is an entitlement to them (that they actually deserve this money because of some injustice that they had to have in their lives) and they expect more everyday even though they are totally nonproductive members of society. These people continue whining for more like the children they raise and politicians like bad parents give in to their every wish in an effort to buy them off and get their votes.

(There are some people who do need help, those who have debilitating mental conditions or physical conditions that render them unable to carry even out the most basic of tasks that is beyond their control. My writing is not aimed at these people.)

These people are the spoiled whining children of our society who contribute nothing and steal our money through one of our "wonderful" (sarcasm) government welfare programs that trap these people into a life of disparity, degradation, oppression, and mental imprisonment all so our government can continue to erode the personal freedoms or the hardworking and industrious people that this country was built upon and so politicians (namely Democrats and liberals) can stay in office. And we wonder where our children learn this from!

These people will continue to be non-productive members of our society as long as it is economically feasible for them to do so by rewarding them instead of punishing them. As soon as the rewards for bad behavior end and punishment starts, welfare programs will decrease in size and the unethical redistribution (a great word since income is earned not distributed) of income through welfare services will diminish.

And we wonder where our children learn this from!

I found a great little tool that will help you to figure out which political affiliation you most identify with. Even if you think you know, try it you might be surprised to figure it out. I'll also add a link to my Ignorance is No Excuse section.

Enjoy the quiz.

This work has already been done for me. Please take a moment to look over this PDF supplied by FairTax.org

This PDF will give you comparisons of the Fair Tax versus the Flat Tax and the current Income Tax.

Enjoy. Feel free to pass this around!

It has been several days since my last post. I will be sending off a letter to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson of Texas in support of the Fair Tax on Wednesday. I invite you to read it and encourage you to write your own to your member of the House of Representative or Senator.

To the Honorable Kay Bailey Hutchinson,

I write you with utmost urgency and passion. Your fellow Texas Senator, John Cornyn, has heard the voice of the people and joined the fight to transform our economy and save our country. I ask that you join the struggle to end an oppressive and inefficient tax collection system that was of chief importance to Karl Marx, the founder of Communist ideology, as written in the Communist Manifesto as step two to form a Communist state. I present to you the Fair Tax.

The Fair Tax is a non-partisan tax proposal to replace the current income, payroll, estate, gift, death, savings, corporate, and investment taxes into a simple to understand national sales tax (23%) that will be collected on only new purchases and only at the final retail sale of all purchases made by consumers. To cover the basic necessities of life the Fair Tax will give every legal citizen of the US a pre-bate to cover the costs of taxes up to the poverty level as determined by the Department of Health and Human Services. After all, “all men are created equal” and no person should be forced to pay taxes on items of necessity.

The Fair Tax will create unrivaled economic growth (over 11% higher, 10 years from passage, than today), unprecedented job growth (10 years after passage, a rate of 9% higher than today), income from employment up 27.4% the first year and 41.2% higher in year 10 from passage, and 41.2% higher domestic investment 10 years from passage than today's level. This is due to the fact that workers are no longer penalized for working harder or for high achievement and the lack of corporate taxes that will reverse the outsourcing of American jobs overseas to areas with lower taxes on corporations.

Corporate taxes in reality are another way to tax the citizens of our country as around 22% of the current cost of items directly relate to taxes that are paid for during the manufacturing process due to materials or personnel. Corporations simply pass on the taxes they are required to pay onto the consumer. Corporate taxes stunt economic growth, limit job production, and make our products less competitive in world markets because of the embedded 22% tax rate.

For brevity, I have only touched on the some of the main aspects of the Fair Tax. For more information please visit FairTax.org. I ask that you formally place your support behind the Fair Tax to stop an oppressive and inefficient tax collection system. I eagerly await your response on this important issue. Thank you for your service to our state and country. Your support for the Fair Tax will keep Texas in the forefront of positive change in American politics.

Neal Boortz has recently compiled a free web seminar to offer more information about the Fair Tax. For those of you with the time to do so (about an hour) I encourage you to take some time to watch it, get informed, and then spread the word about the Fair Tax. Until I can get my next post up have fun with this.
