Whereas We The People Are Really Pissed Off

We were just gouged on January 1st for a fresh round of tax hikes and health insurance rate increases. And we are being told by Washington that we must prepare for another round in February of even more tax increases and Austerity cuts. We were also just told by IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard that every 100 billion in budget cuts in Europe did three times as much damage to the GDP as had been predicted. We were recently told by Wall Street economists at J P Morgan and Goldman Sachs that we could expect the US economy to shrink 1.5% due to the January tax increases and another 1.5% for Obamacare health insurance rate increases.
People all over America are getting their first paycheck of 2013 and are shocked to see how much less money they are taking home due to higher taxes. Others are going to medical clinics and learning that their co-pays and pharmacy charges are higher. Over the next month small businesses and millions of people will pay more for health insurance because the Obamacare bill was written by health insurance corporations.
So the question of the day is this: What if instead of a projected decrease of 3% in the US economy, Blanchard is right and our GDP decreases three times as much or at an additional 9%? Maybe that European figure does not apply to America and the January 1st tax increases only shrink America’s GDP by an additional 6%. The US GDP grew at less than 1% in the last quarter of 2012. Dr John Williams at Shadow Stats says the real inflation rate is 9.6%. If we subtract 9.6% from 1%, we get an economy shrinking at 8.6% in 2012 and starts out shrinking anywhere from 11 to 17% in 2013. Suppose the economy only contracts another 12 or 13%, even the bought and paid for media will no longer be able to deny that we are entering another Great Depression. Must I remind you again that at least 3 million Americans died of starvation in the 1930s.
The Rest…HERE
That is what prompted Madison to contrast the new national government he had helped create to the kingdoms of Europe, which he characterized as “afraid to trust the people with arms.” Madison assured his fellow Americans that under the new Constitution as amended by the Bill of Rights, they need never fear their government because of “the advantage of being armed.””
George Washington stated: “When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour.” He also stated: “Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.” Assuring Americans that this right of gun ownership that was unique to America was well established he stated: “A free people ought to be armed.”
1787-1823, Founding Father, Trench Coxe, Pennsylvania,
The power of the sword, say the minority of Pennsylvania, is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for THE POWERS OF THE SWORD ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE YEOMANRY OF AMERICA FROM SIXTEEN TO SIXTY. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? are they not ourselves. Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American. What clause in the state or federal constitution hath given away that important right..The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.
Sam Adams stated: “The said Constitution shal never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
James Madison stated: “Americans have the right and advantage of being armed.”
Thomas Jefferson stated: “No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
Thomas Jefferson was very adamant about the individual’s right to own arms. He stated: ” The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. ” He went on to say “What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.”
Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence said, “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”
Ronald Reagan stated: “You won’t get gun control by disarming law-abiding citizens. There’s only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up and if you don’t actually throw away the key, at least it lose it for a long time. It’s a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun controllers. I happen to know this from personal experience.”
