Change in Heaping Gobfuls

If you read the long and somewhat rambling two part post earlier in this blog, you'll understand the future.
Obama has stopped the regular increase in salary of those making over 100,000 in D.C. He hasn't decreased their salary, only stopped the increase, for this year. This is a great PR stunt but does NOTHING to curb the coming calamity.
However he does spend 170 million on his inauguration address and we foot most of that bill, he is pushing another 350 billion "stimulus" that we also foot the bill for, and people will ignore these and 'hope' that he does bring change.
You will get your change, heaping gobfuls of change. You will sadly all get your change. Don't cry to me or try to extort me when that 'change' puts you starving on the street. Any such attempts of force will only get you a smart punch in the mouth and a bullet in your knee.

Look, there is no Hope here, this is the darkest hour that liberty and prosperity have had since FDR held the cockles of the nation in his palm. The only Hope I have is in a small but exponentially growing movement in New Hampshire. I will be joining them with in the year and I call for you to do the same. While the masses are held enthralled with Obama, the economy will continue to crumble, war will continue to wage, and you will continue to lose both liberty and wealth.

While Bush was lampooned for the atrocities and stupidity of his actions and his administration's, the majority of people were closer to a realistic view of their government than ever before. Obama represents nothing more than massive coup for the PR campaign for Statist action. Obama's actions will be the same actions but BIGGER, with far greater approval from the masses and far greater impact on the the nation.

I fear this dark era we have begun, but am also optimistic for the future, because it is only in the when much is rapidly lost that revolutions occur. Let us work to make them peaceful revolutions instead of violent upheavals. Remember the government is at it's very core a simple monopoly on force. A great massive social hammer. When there's a hammer as big as this Empire, billions will be nailed.

Working with the unemployed....

Greetings Interweb!

I am currently in a job as a call center agent. Though I service calls for cards of all kinds I primarily deal with unemployment /child support cards. As you can imagine, for 8 hours a day I deal with the most enlightened individuals of our society. I do not say this with sarcasm, I say this with TOTAL TERRIBLE SINCERITY. Why?

Because I’m dealing with people who seek to live at the expense of others 24/7 without ever doing a thing! Many of whom are receiving more than minimum wage and a few of whom make more than I do a week! This begs the question why should I work?

Especially if, should I be unemployed, I can defer the payments to my student loans and in some ways have the feds pay for the very loans that they forced to be issued to me.

So that’s the crux of the proposition. If I am a chump for working for less money than I would receive if I were not to work, then those who chose the other path and subsist off the State’s largess must be enlightened.

They couldn’t possibly be living precarious lives that depend on the continuing existence of ultimately destructive policies….

There is the trade off. Subsist with little to no energy used, or subsist by striving hard and trying to grab as many work hours in a week as humanly possible. The future for the first is bleak at best. The future for the latter has massive amounts of potential. Still, frustration does exist all too well in the present.
