What are you afraid of, you voters? Afraid that people like Ron Paul will pull the plug on your favorite government “charity”? Afraid that restoring the Constitutional limits of our out-of-control government will end your subsidies? Your ill-gotten pensions? Your idle-farm subsidy? Afraid a fair tax system that treats all as equals before the law will decimate your tax-deductible charitable donations? Afraid that a government operating within it’s only legitimate role as guardian of unalienable rights will put an end to your cherished “public services”?

Did you really think it was the proper role of government to provide services to you at the expense of those who do not consent to your legalized plunder? And do you really think that you can continue on indefinitely, demanding these services at the expense of your fellow men simply because they are “good” for the community? Good by whose definition?

The day of reckoning is fast upon us, when all natural laws must be fulfilled, when your subsidies will end in a disastrous manner. You cannot defy the eternal laws of nature. You cannot continue your legalized plunder and not pay the debts of a thief. Taking where you have not earned, giving where you have no right to give. You cannot continue to steal the fruit from the vineyard in ever-increasing amounts, and think that the lord of the vineyard will simply continue to work for your supply. He will at some point end his production. The vines will wither and die, and you will be left helpless.

Call me a wingnut, a “tea bagger”, a racist, a religious nut, an “Uncle Tom” or whatever in the hell else your puppet masters instruct you. Damn you for your perversion of the law. Damn you for making me a “criminal” just because I cannot, nor can anyone else, comprehend the hundreds of thousands of pages of legal code you and your minions have crafted. And damn you for destroying all that has been good in America. Generations of children will grow to curse you as the yoke of bondage descends heavy upon their shoulders.

“I do!” replies the public educator, “I have spent my life teaching the child of my neighbor the wisdom of the ages!”

I would ask the educator: did you also love the man who never had children, from whom your wages were forcefully taken in the form of a tax on his personal life, liberty, and property?

“But, it was a noble cause, to teach the children! I was merely providing for the general welfare of the child!”

Was it not the responsibility of the parent to teach the child?

“But the parent was not capable, or did not choose to!”

Consider the lilies of the field, the birds of the air. Is not the eye of God on these, and greater? Is not the ever watchful eye of the Almighty on the child as well? Will you mock God? Was it not God who placed the child with the parent, instructing the parent to bring up the child? And if the parent fails in his mission, is it not God who shall stand to judge, and to ultimately provide? Would not God, through the free exercise of agency, the invisible hand of Providence, have established a system to educate the child? If not the parent to educate, would not schools have been built by free men to provide for the education of the child? Would not you, as an educator, have been one of those men?

“But, not all parents would have been able to afford it! It is necessary to provide for the general welfare of the child!”

Is this then the justification for violating the commandment “Thou shalt not steal” in order to fulfill the commandment to love your neighbor? Think you that the general public would not, without compulsion, provide for the education of the child? Is it not the realm of the church to provide for the charity through the charitable giving of men? Is it not the alms that are given, freely, without compulsion, by individuals to the church that should be used to educate the less fortunate? And if not the church, then alms freely given to private charities and schools, schools which exist with no hint of compulsion? Would not funds be provided from the charity of individuals?

“Free men cannot be trusted to provide charity!”

Will you continue to mock God? Will you continue to say He will not provide? Do you truly believe that the freedoms won in the great war in Heaven are not designed appropriately by God to provide justice and mercy to each individual? Will you deny the vast sums of charity given by the free people of these United States, above and beyond the “charity” wrested from them by threat of imprisonment by the law?

“But, we must make sure that no child fails! We must make sure to the best of our ability that they all make it!”

Will you stop to consider that this is not the plan of God? That He fully knows that not all will make it? ‘Tis the plan of the evil one to force all to succeed. Consider the word of God in the matter:

“Howbeit that he made the greater star; as, also, if there be two spirits, and one shall be more intelligent than the other, yet these two spirits, notwithstanding one is more intelligent than the other, have no beginning; they existed before, they shall have no end, they shall exist after, for they are gnolaum, or eternal.

“And the Lord said unto me: These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they; I am the Lord thy God, I am more intelligent than they all.” (Abraham 3:18-19)

Is not each child unique? Is not the intelligence of one as different from another, even as the stars in heaven differ from one another in brightness? And who is better chosen of God to understand this uniqueness than the parent?

“And I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.

“But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.

“Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;” (Moses 4:1-3)

Is not the agency of man the most sacred trust we have been given? Is not this the one object the devil sought to destroy? And if agency would be destroyed, would not God himself cease to be God, would not all creation cease to exist?

When all is considered, the public education of our children is at best a plundering of the property of man. At worst, a denial of the infinite justice of the Father and infinite Mercy of His Son.

Free Troll: Did I tell you about http://www.fairtax.org?
Troll’s Brother: I think you did.
Free Troll: I think it’s gaining steam, slowly.
Troll’s Brother: so what is it in thirty seconds?
Free Troll: A national sales tax at 23%, repeal of the 16th amendment so Congress couldn’t pull a fast one and impose the national sales tax PLUS retain income taxes, elimination of the IRS and tax filing, and it takes care of the poor by effectively exempting them from taxes up to the poverty level.
So, if you don’t want to pay taxes, just don’t but new stuff. Tax only would apply to services and new product purchases.
Can you imagine how much wealth could be built if you didn’t have payroll taxes and April 15th?
Troll’s Brother: What would all the cpa’s do?
Free Troll: Do what CPAs are supposed to. Help companies manage money, not pay taxes.
Troll’s Brother: ahh. Do you ever have the opinion that things have to get bad before they can get better?
Free Troll: That’s because people generally are so caught up in trying to do things for themselves in the moment, they don’t have time to spend thinking about who is trying to take their freedom away.

So, why do I support the Fair Tax? Simply because it is so simple, it brings sanity and equity back to American taxation, and because the current tax system is one of ridiculous complexity and corruption. According to the Tax Foundation, Americans are estimated to have spent $265 billion in 2005 just to comply with paying their taxes. Imagine what Americans could do if that money were spent on productive activities.

This is just a very brief overview of the Fair Tax. For more information see their website at www.freetax.org. And thank you to my brother for his permission to publish our little chat. You can read his blog at www.minorsoft.com.
