“…we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, defining the purpose of the Civil War.

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.” George Orwell
“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Louis D. Brandeis
“Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.” Louis D. Brandeis
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell, 1984.
“An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.” ~ Sun Tzu
“It is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it could not be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly will not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.” Mike Vandeerbeough

My family wealth has not soared, period. In fact, if you figure any small increase in my income and adjust for the increased price of all most everything I buy, I actually fell behind some more. I don’t understand why people don’t see it but discounting every other thing, we are being robbed by inflation. Here is an example. Our brilliant leaders like(or want) the US to have a 2% inflation rate yearly. OK, let’s see, 2% times 50 years is 100%. That means that virtually everything in the US will double in price every 50 years. However, there are years in which it is more than 2% and very few that it is less than 2%. I would like to say here that this is very basic math and the truth is this is very complex in reality. So, here is what I find. Inflation is much worse than the 50 year/2% thing. This is because, if you will check the numbers on one item that we all have to have to go to a job, you will see this. If you buy a car in 2001 and buy the essentially the same car in 2025 you will find the car has basically doubled in price. You check this out for yourself. Perhaps the vehicle you price is a little less, perhaps it is a little higher or maybe it is much higher. No matter if you find an item that doesn’t double in 25 years, I can find an item that more than doubles in that same period. A friend of mine told me a long time ago, if a man makes a dollar it is taxed by all departments at all levels of government and let’s say that all of the taxes/fees/permits/etc come to 33%. Every time that dollar is paid to a worker – 33%. So that it only changes hands 3 times and the government gets the whole dollar. This is much like inflation, it is much more complex but is generally true. Are Americans not dumber than a brick?
Numbers like that are just propaganda. In this case, right wing propaganda.
It’s a hard concept for many to understand.
