Subject: Re: we are a beacon around the world, and poor oppressed and hopeless people all around the globe dream
Czuch: It is just like the situation with the poor in America. The very best solution is to strip the government of all its power and then people will find ways to take care of themselves free from the oppressive influence of the Overlord, whose power is wedded to large corporations & banks for the purpose aggregating ownership & wealth into a few hands. The second best solution is for the enormous power of the government to be directed towards helping lives, not destroying & enslaving lives. But this seems to be impossible in our current situation...and perhaps always, since the nature of strong government is to rule with an iron fist.
"The power to tax is the power to destroy." (forget who said it, I think one of the chief justices, maybe Marshall)
