CAnnoneer,
LAK, the big problem in your argument is that welfare-receivers are voters. In fact, they are the staunchest voter type, if there ever was one. And they are not just limited to stay-home breeders either. Large portions of the population are addicted to gov funding in one way or another. There is no magic wand to wave and wish them and their votes away.
We are not a democracy; and it is not "voters" who
lead nations - for very good reason - and precisely why we have the electoral college. If we do not get national leadership to
actually lead this country on a straight course it is imply going to be driven along the one the current leadership has it.
Besides, I think you are mistaken in thinking that the majority of people want to remain a welfare state. The media gives this impression, however the media is controlled by the same ruling oligarchy who wish to steer us down the current path. I do not know
anyone personally who is happy about having money taken from their income forcebly and given away to anyone. And I know alot of people. Out of the people I meet on the street etc, a more casual basis or at work, the proportion of people that are quite happy to have their money taken is quite low.
For a policy to be meaningful, it has to be implementable. What Paul is talking about essentially makes certain he will not be elected. So all the preaching and posturing amounts to nothing.
It is only not implementable as long as
the section of people who lend the key support of
confidence to an openly fake political party line and media allow it to continue to exist. It can not last long without it. WE have until election time to pull the rug out from these people and break the hold they have on this country.
If on the other hand, Libertarians and Anarchists decide to force the issue by armed revolt, to invalidate all those votes by forcible seizure of gov, then we are talking about a civil war, not Pres Elections 2008.
The libertarians are not our friends; their platform calls for no borders.
No borders - that means they support a
North American Union. If the Libertarian Party and the Anarchists mount an armed revolt in 2008 - I am going to be fighting
against them.
We do not want that to happen; we want to have some leaders in Washington that will actually lead this country and detach us from that criminal cartel that is running it now.
