Who do you think writes the laws?
Its called government capture for a reason. |
Indeed. Anyone who has ever looked at the regulations to publically list a company, or engage in any form of commerce, knows how unfree we are. The banking apocalypse cannot be properly understood without recognizing the symbiotic relationship between the state and the bank. And today, we're into a phase where banks are exposed to states' debts, not the other way around.
The state is failing. The game's all but up. Our high cost welfare model is predicated upon growth, and without that growth, it fails. I'm reminded of Catholic theologians and high priests of the late 16th and 17th centuries. It was a time when the Catholic Church was under attack for its rampant corruption. However, the Chruch, instead of reforming itself, responded with the Council of Trent, the Counter-Reformation and the Inquistion. Here are some examples of some of the statements issued by the Catholic hierarchy:
The Church is independent of any earthly power, not merely in regard to her lawful end and purpose, but also in regard to whatever means she may deem suitable and necessary to attain them.
God has made the Vatican a sharer in the divine magistracy, and granted her, by special privilege, immunity from error.
The Church is not susceptible of being reformed in her doctrines. The Church is the work of an Incarnate God. Like all God's works, it is perfect. It is, therefore, incapable of reform.
The doctrine is secular now, but the defenders of the gospel of the democratic state are every bit as irrational and dogmatic as the priesthood was 400 years ago. And yet they have the sheer audacity to give we libertarians the pejorative title of "True Believer". |

I hate to intrude, but I see that there are several serious, ad-hominem attacks, and we asked you ad-infinitum to report such things, and to stop such things. Otherwise, the Roman phrase "Ad I Graecum Pi" will apply to the user.
Look it up..... Can't we get without a day without people not being able to control their emotions? Knock it off. I really don't like doing this because we're all adults.
