The American government, a vast and overbearing huddle of
the corrupt, trying to benefit through the control and puppeteering of others’ lives
and money. Whether the extreme liberal left or the unreasonable righteous right,
the minuet differences between them are irrelevant, both are desperately trying
to control your lives and take your money. The left would seek to pour your
money down the drain into welfare or public housing while the right however
would seek to pour it down the drain of wars and imperialism. There is always
this constant struggle between these two groups, both trying to control, both
trying to overpower, both revealing their incompetence and excessive
lifestyles. Libertarians however, have solved the puzzle. Any true libertarian
wishes for nothing more than to give you more freedom, more money, and more
responsibility. To reduce government is to reduce corruption, debt, war, and
crime. Most see government as a catalyst for solving problems, but anyone who
actually knows what they are talking about knows that more often than not,
government is the problem. If Libertarians would have had their way since about
1900, there would not have been Prohibition, Jim Crow Laws, the illegalization
of marijuana, the War on Drugs, Desert Storm, The Korean War, The Vietnam War,
The Gulf War, The Cold War, The Missile Crisis, the 16 Trillion dollar Debt,
The Iraq War, Imperialism, and a whole bunch of other very expensive and taxing
events that could’ve easily been avoided.
Libertarians seek to agree on what we can agree upon like defense,
equality, and Liberty, and let We the People decide for ourselves what to do
with our money and what we disagree upon. To give everyone the chance to decide
for himself what’s important and what to spend his money on, in short, you
should be able to do whatever you want as long as you’re not hurting anybody.
A more agreeable and reasonable position could not be asked
for, this approach to Government would solve almost all our problems. Apply it!
Wise up and Rise up!!!
After reading my colleague, Will Pollock’s recent blog post titled “Libertarian” I couldn’t help but agree. Our government has is a two party system with all of the power and each of these parties with their own issues. Some feel if they vote for a Libertarian that their vote is “wasted” because the candidate they are voting for wont ever have enough support due to the massive two party system. People are often forced to vote for the “lesser of the two evils”. In the blog my colleague said it well that “To reduce government is to reduce corruption, debt, war, and crime. Most see government as a catalyst for solving problems, but anyone who actually knows what they are talking about knows that more often than not, government is the problem.” The public is so uninformed they don’t even know whom they are voting for or simply are voting for a person they can get the biggest welfare check from. Our government needs a huge re-haul and put people into office who believe in our constitution and who will protect our rights, while upholding morals and ethic values.
ReplyDeleteMr. Pollock, I couldn't agree more with you on this subject. If more people decide that they will choose what is right for themselves, or their family, and everyone could agree on that fact, I think we would be in a much better situation than we are right now. So many social issues could be solved if we would only mind our own businesses when something had no personal effect of ourselves.
ReplyDeleteLiberals and conservatives both whine about each other trying to brainwash the public into their ideology, but they are doing the exact same thing. What someone thinks is right to them, may not be right to you. Let us revert back to that Golden Rule that we were all taught back in elementary school, treat others the way you want to be treated. Everyone needs to stop trying to force their ideologies and beliefs on to one another and let everyone live their own lives. If people want to form some sort of social welfare system in their communities, let the people of that community organize it themselves, so that people who would never be in contact with that community would not have to spend their money on them.
In addition to what Mr. Pollock also stated about the government, " a vast and overbearing huddle of the corrupt, trying to benefit through the control and puppeteering of others’ lives and money," all of the politics and real life "Game of Thrones" would be nonexistent. No big wig man or woman who you've never met before would have an influence on your life, creating laws that you don't agree with.
To me, Mr. Pollock's belief, as well as mine and many others, seem obvious to someone who believes what this country was truly founded upon, the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that everyone is entitled to.
