We must change the dialogue and the tone of a failed 20th century social movement that has systematically handicapped Americans rendering them bottom dwelling parasites that have delegated away their quality of life, their individuality and, most importantly, their self-respect.

Enabling Process

Since the days of the Egyptians, political systems have always given rise to winners and losers. By promoting the interests of powerful rulers, social welfare states ordain the interests of a privileged class, politicians and their supporters, the media and entertainment communities along with the infrastructure of parasitic professions, like tax accountants and IRS agents, whose survival depends on blind obedience to the established order that sustains their livelihood. By a process of deliberately calculated slowness, incremental change marginalizes the citizen's ability to exercise intelligent reasoning and to resist. Once immune to the obnoxious assaults on their natural rights, they become compliant pawns and thus ensure the unlimited power of the privileged class is sustained without objection.

Lost Rights

The concept of self-directed care (vs. delegated care) goes to the heart of quality of life, self-empowerment, striving and happiness. An atmosphere of delegation is one of abandonment and depression that leaves each person (and society) in a hopeless prison, enormously vulnerable to abuse. Any truthful and reasoned perspective on government solutions such as the social security program, the IRS, the department of education, Medicare, Medicaid and countless others, reveals a society rapidly victimized by its own unwillingness to take charge. We are now under the iron thumb of our own making, ruled by force, coercion, punishment, regulatory schemes, penalties and threat of confiscations of our property that has put at risk our very individuality, our will to live and ultimately our very souls.

What's Ahead

Those few of us left whom, by attempting to hold on to the values of self-reliant individualism and who have not yet succumbed to the indoctrination, are in great peril. In today's world, we have been marginalized, labeled and discarded as a dangerous social inconvenience and a nuisance. Having the courage to be self-assertive, non-compliant and to speak our minds could place our families and us in great jeopardy. Just imagine what it will be like to live in the age planned ahead, one of perpetual darkness, leveraging compliance of every human action to the ubiquitous circumstances of lost privacy, constant surveillance and fear of consequences.

And, sadly, government has the winning hand. Leaving government in charge of this show will ultimately destroy what it fears the most, the threat to its own power.
