The Top 40

Maybe it's just me on a Monday morning, but I had a helluva time wading through that, and still not sure what the guy is aiming at. Of course I could read the link.

The French Revolution is a fairly recent example of a people who could "take it no longer". In the current U S of A the lawless ones are at the bottom and the top. The middle, you and me, are being squeezed by these criminals and sooner or later the lit fuse will ignite the bomb.

We are the law abiders at our own loss. We are essentially surrounded by criminals, politicians and racists who are in control of the entire nation top to bottom.

In time the entire gov't structure, if it doesn't collapse first, will become irrelevant. Already the police are not in place to protect you, then what are they for? If you encounter a thug of any stripe it is up to you to protect yourself. Then why are you taxed heavily for a police force? Hardly anyone in gov't is responsible for anything, so employee infractions are ignored, at your peril.

People will start realizing this, the ones that have not so far, and move to their own rhythm to survive, and flourish. The gov't will continue to dig it's own grave, especially financially so that by the time it collapses the people won't be pulled under with it.

Better figure out how to do it by yourself cause that's all you got.

Q: What are they [the govt people] for?
A: The law-abiding and productive people give them jobs to tell the law-abiding what to do and how to behave, so that govt people have jobs and won't be poor and useless and cause trouble.

For instance. There was talk about how tne next frontier in consumer product regulation is ... Christmas lights. Because we have all these offices and bureaus of regulation producers sitting around, and they have very little to do once industries have digested and incorporated and complied with the previous set of new regulations. And we a Well, we can't just lay them off! So they have to keep producing new laws and regulations.

It's Bastiat's broken window fallacy. Ever-coming new regulations keeps everybody employed and productive and peaceful.

Q: What are they [the govt people] for?

A: The only time I have ever had any dealings with the gov't is when I absolutely had to. One of those times will occur in a couple weeks when I have to go to the DMV to renew my drivers license. Other then their required mandates I have no use for any of it. It could all vanish today and there would be a little bit of downtime but in 6 months to a year everything would be functioning better than it ever has. Added all up, the current gov't structure in the US, from local to federal, is the most expensive thing in world history, and hasn't the value of .0001% of the cost.

Go into any Federal office where you're going to have to interact with some person and look at the racial makeup of the office staff. Look at how many of them are actually working. How many do you think produce work say, 85% of the time?

I've seen individuals, who are purported to be typists, with fingernails so long, they can't touch the keys. Beautifully decorated nails, probably cost a couple of bucks a week to maintain them, but work with them? Are you kidding?

If the Federal workforce was privatized, unemployment would skyrocket as they jettisoned the excess and prostitution would become bigger than GM and IBM combined. But at least they would be working.

We've been spoon-feeding and feather-pillowing the politicians and the thugs for too long. Time for some heavy manners.

I'll cast my vote for the Nine Familial Exterminations:
The punishment by nine exterminations is usually associated with the tyrannical rulers throughout Chinese history ... Typically associated with offenses such as treason, the punishment involved the execution of all relatives of an individual, which were categorized into nine groups.

@VW, HA! That's been a common joke with myself and a couple business associates for many years. We have to deal with the building dept frequently and the place is inundated with enormous female negro's with "3" purple fingernails" that type with the pads of their fingers. When they try to type those Strap numbers and legal descriptions you have to go sit down cause with all the typos's their going to be at it for awhile.
