The DIFFERENCE between the Tea Party & Occupy Wall Street

We will never get money out of politics. That money is speech will never change. More speech, not

less. More private wealth, not less. Less government will actually lead to more self-governance.

I believe the shortsightedness of the Occupiers and their Occupier-and-thief in the Whitehouse is that the government IS the very “zero-sum” game they falsely project onto Capitalists and the Constitutionalists in the TEA Party. The TEA Party’s eventual success at cutting government will cut benefits for those dumb and lazy enough to continue to allow failing bureaucracies to skim off the top and/or rob them blind. Let that be a lesson to them. As for “the TEA Party’s dedication to reduced government would only last until the government benefits THEY value are reduced or eliminated,” we have Congress as an example of how MORE profit (universal rather than selective freedom) comes with the freedom to to opt out of corrupt state-sponsored pyramid programs. All I have to do is “follow the money” to see that this bowel movement of unbathed malcontents are tools of Unions and the Progressives whose actual sole argument is that the brownies taste bad because someone put dog shit in them, so we must force everyone to drop the sugary chocolate goodness and all be made to eat 100% dog shit. I am for agreed upon regulations and laws to deal with bad apples but the current misleadership regulates to the lowest common denominator and is hell bent on the social justice of assuring all are equal in misery and jumping through the flaming hoops they think are best. I fear that “enlightened capitalism” may come to mean ceding private profit to bean counters devoid of expertise and connection with customers and killing r&d, among other things. Screw a “level playing field” and screw pay czars. The greater the divide between rich and poor, the wealthier the poor. Idealism gets in the way of the fact that their list of DEMANDS reveals a movement of entitlement-addicted socialists that are at war wroth private property, enabled by a lying MSM which misportrays government as beneficent when it ALLOWS us to keep what we have earned. Utter privatization and respect for the organic quality of a truly free market will allow for more philanthropy and community taking care of itself with beautiful independence. The killer of the American dream are not the families who run corporations with enlightened self-interest but do-gooders and those dependent on dependence who wish to use the commerce clause to mandate how many squares of toilet paper we can use.

When private companies become monopolies, we break them up and sell them off but we DO NOT *ALL* go chapter 11/13 to save Obama donors from such a perilous fate. Chapter 11/13 is the answer. Let the market be the market; brutally, unmercifully. Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac be damned. I think holding government as accountable, if not more so than corporations would be a good start; not forcing private citizens to have to compete with state funded spoiled brats would do a lot. Doesn’t the free market punish companies who fire good people and overpay execs? I find more Fords on the road and people saying, screw GM (govt. motors), even if they pay back every dime. I find that getting out of the way altogether of those who are not guilty of the Citibank kind of shenanigans is a form of justice in its own right. Tired of allowing govt. to selectively shield cronies from repercussions with faux crises. I believe that TARP encouraged more mismanagement, rather than less.

I hear people saying, “how do we use centralized government to place rules that will prevent human nature itself?” I honestly resist the thought that we can or must imbue the Federal government with such reach. The Founders created the Constitution based on the Bible verse, Jeremiah 17:9, “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.” Decentralization brings free will and free speech and the freedom to do stupid things. I think we have a plethora of Federal laws. Enforcing the ones we have selectively could be a problem. Socialists think utopia is possible yet trusts no one with free will. They believe in Darwin yet set up a welfare state to prevent natural selection? For all who ask, “How can we give government more power to help?” I ask, show me what it has done right so far or where it neglects to injure. Show me a federal government program that would inspire anyone to think we should empower more responsibility with these thieves. States and local municipalities should not even have as much power as the individual. Obama called our Constitution a “document of negative rights” because it says what the government cannot do FOR you but Jefferson and the Founders’ genius was that the comprehension that government can only do FOR people in direct proportion to how much we empower them to do TO people. Maybe I’m just being super-sensitive but every time government tries to save us from ourselves with the best of intent (let alone with “pre-crime”), they cause a spiraling of “unintended consequences” that just open the door for themselves to be called in on a white horse to mess things up even more, permanently perhaps. Check government! Balance the budget for the first time in two years (unfunny punchline = they can’t, because then everyone would see that they’ve spent us into slavery saving us from ourselves with the death care boondoggle). Term limits, yes! Tort reform, yes! Don’t let America be dim enough to put the same party in all three houses for two years ever again!!! All for “degerrymanderification.” Good luck on getting the institutionalized racism of the CBC to go along on that one. Ha! American history lessons (taught by non-union conservatives) and genuine economics (Hayek, Mises, Friedman, Smith, Sowell) classes for driver’s licenses/ voting cards. Bad economic ideas and truly evil political movements have shown me no reason for compromise but instead a need to defeat, impeach and frog march.
