what if i tell you vote is just changing fiscal policy and how government policies can affect the economy.
As we all know, our current money-based economies undergo the
business cycle from recession to a boom and back. And they are
influenced by supply and demand. Government has 2 ways of influencing
the economy: taxes and government spending. Government spending puts in
money into circulation thus boosting incomes of those who receive the
money from government spending. Taxes takes money out of circulation,
thus reducing incomes.
Using these two methods governments has some control over how low
recessions get or how high booms get. Often when a recession hits.
Government can either lower taxes or increase government spending. When
there is a boom government can cut spending or increase taxes.
There are 2 political views:
1)Government isn't doing enough for the people, and lacks the resources to do so
2)Government is too inefficient when its big
Folks
with view (1) would promote that government spend more during a
recession to reduce loss of spending (low low spending as a result of
low demand), and keep money in circulation and reduce duration of a
recession (bailouts, welfare). And when a boom comes along, government
should increase taxes to slow the increasing demand (high demand leads
to high inflation).
Folks with view (2) promotes the opposite measures. During a
recession, they promote cutting taxes, so that people have more money to
spend and hence keep demand higher than it usually would be in a
recession. Then when a boom comes along they say government should
reduce spending so the amount of money injected into the system is
reduced and hence reduce inflation (lowering social services, welfare
etc).
If you folks have been paying attention to politics these 2 views
and measures should sound very familiar. Peter Joseph ( visit website http://bit.ly/ev3fQ5 ) (don’t forget capital Q letter) is right when he says that these two
parties are 2 sides of the same coin (the coin being the monetary
system). The truth is people are choosing between 2 methods of
controlling booms and recessions, when they vote: nothing more. THIS
CLEARLY SHOWS WHY any political party WAS NEVER ABLE TO BRING REAL
CHANGE. Of course there are certain discrepancies: like how republican
GWB boosted gov't spending by going to war with Iraq.
The folks advocating free-market economics obviously support view
(2). While folks have socialist views support view (1). however we dont
have to be sad, just enjoy the moment, lets starts the politic party!
lets support all the candidates to give us ALL THE GOODIES!
“We of this mighty western Republic have to grapple with the
dangers that spring from popular self-government tried on a scale
incomparably vaster than ever before in the history of mankind, and from
an abounding material prosperity greater also than anything which the
world has hitherto seen.
As regards to the first set of dangers, it behooves us to remember
that men can never escape being governed. Either they must govern
themselves or they must submit to being governed by others. If from
lawlessness or fickleness, from folly or self-indulgence, they refuse to
govern themselves then most assuredly in the end they will have to be
governed from the outside. They can prevent the need of government from
without only by showing they possess the power of government from
within. A sovereign cannot make excuses for his failures; a sovereign
must accept the responsibility for the exercise of power that inheres in
him; and where, as is true in our Republic, the people are sovereign,
then the people must show a sober understanding and a sane and steadfast
purpose if they are to preserve that orderly liberty upon which as a
foundation every republic must rest.”
-President Theodore Roosevelt; Opening of the Jamestown Exposition; Norfolk, VA, April 26, 1907

It
is my intent and will that all who read this understand what it means.
Because if you are able to understand it, then you can finally move
forward in understanding why things today are exactly why they are. This
is very important. We must recognize our defect and rejection of that
which the government has provided to us. To understand that the
governments of this world, though seemingly, corrupt and out of control,
is merely a reflection of the people in which it has to govern. That we
are the problem. I'm the problem and you are the problem. We have
refused to govern ourselves. Due to that refusal we are left with the
best that the government can literally provide.
We as a dependent of the government are a disruption and a
burden because we refuse to govern ourselves. They have stepped in to
try to control us, to keep us from hurting ourselves and one another so
that some semblance of society might still exist. It's not pretty and
not what people think they want but it is what it is because that
appears to be exactly what we want.
Like I said before, the government is merely (merely;
meaning ONLY) a reflection of the people in which it governs. The more
out of control the people who have submitted themselves to it, the more
out of control the government appears to be out of control to control
it. It's actually pretty simple. Cause and effect. We are the cause by
the choices we make and the government, in all of it's choices, are the
effect. We the people make this so. We are the problem.
On the other hand, if we were to stop looking to the
government for our every need, for currency, for trade, for everything
commercial, to deliberate fairness and equality, there would be none who
find themselves holding the short end of the stick. For there would be
no stick that any would want to hold.
Every government of this world will be united. Know that.
Their cause will be to subdue all of those who are the problem. Know
that. They will rule with a "rod of iron". They will either force us to
all grow up by making us understand that we indeed are the problem or
they will have to simply put an end to those that will not except the
responsibility for their own actions, intents and understandings.
For those of you who think that government has enslaved you,
by whatever means, know that you did agree to be governed, by and
through your personal acts and actions. Do not be fooled. It is you that
is the problem and your unwillingness to accept that responsibility is
the problem at hand.
They'll get you by your claim of ownership. Understand that
they have taken steps to relieve you of ownership. Most governments
accomplished this in the 1930's. By doing so, they have made it possible
for you to live your life here, now, in abundance. Yet because your
intent is to own that what you cannot possibly own, you have caused
scarcity instead of abundance. They see you fighting for the right of
ownership. Those who fight to own something that cannot be owned is
merely keeping others from the benefit of that which they make claim to.
That is not love. That is not community. That is not being your
brothers keeper. That is not you looking out for the best interest of
others. That is not being in service to others.
All in all, ownership of any kind today is selfish,
thoughtless and the source and cause of every single problem you can
point your finger at. Bar none. Ownership is the problem. A man's claim
of ownership is a man claiming to be owned. We were sent here to be in
the world, not to be of the world. To make a claim of ownership, you are
being claimed by that which you claim and are therefore of the world
and no longer merely in it.
"The powers that be" know this to be the truth of the
matter. They understand that simple fact of ownership. You say they want
claim and ownership of everything and I say that is a lie. They make no
claim of ownership, the only ones making a claim of ownership are those
pointing their finger at
these "powers that be" and saying, "they are trying to own everything." When in fact they are merely controlling it.
Who
said, "Own nothing and control everything"? That was a very wise man.
That was someone who understands what destruction ownership causes. That
is a man trying to show others the right way. Those who misunderstand
the logic of non ownership are lost in illusions of grandeur and that is
the product of the illusion of ownership.
You truly own nothing. Your claim of ownership is causing
the hungry to starve, the thief to steal and the murderer to kill. You
who claim ownership of anything and everything, even your own family and
loved ones, you are killing them and their future, in a world of
abundance that already exists.
If you claim ownership, you are the problem. If you refuse
to understand that you are the cause of the problems that you see in the
world today, your experience will not only be unpleasant for you but
for your prodigy also. Everything you try to hold in the form of
ownership, you WILL lose, including but not limited to your life.
Do read this more than once. Understand what it says. Ask
for help in understanding if you don't understand. Do not let this
opportunity slip away into eternity.
Those of you who wish to
continue by arguing for the "right of claim and ownership" don't bother
to respond. I'm not here to change your mind for you, I'm here to
assist you to change your own mind, if change is what you seek. I have
no time nor energy to reason with you and your intent of continued claim
of ownership. Let your will be done in that instance. Mine is "fair
warning". The "powers that be" also, have given you fair warning. Do you
really think I came up with all of this on my own?
A final word taken from the last line of the Declaration of
Independence, do understand it… ..."with a firm reliance on the
protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." Notice: No claim of
ownership, it's ALL been pledged.
Know thy self, for your only enemy is the one within.
