Subject: Defeat these Senators!

Below is a list of U.S. Senators who just voted to give illegal aliens
Social Security benefits; in essence, your FICA monies. Money to people
who are here illegally. Remember this at election time. They depend on
us to forget, and most of us do.

THESE ARE THE SENATORS WHO VOTED TO GIVE ILLEGAL ALIENS SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS. REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY, THESE POLITICIANS NEED TO BE
DEFEATED IN 2006, 2008 OR 2010 WHENEVER THEY COME UP FOR OFFICE.
SEND THIS TO ANYONE YOU KNOW IN ANY OF THE STATES LISTED. THE ENTIRE
POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION. THAT IS
UNLESS THEY DO NOT MIND SHARING THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY WITH FOREIGN WORKERS
WHEN AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE BEING LEFT OUT.

How about if we stop using force on everybody in sight?
As far as bad guys coming in, if we pull our troops home, and stop messing in other people's business, we'll be much much safer.

As far as freeloaders coming in, just end welfare. It's just the theft of people's stuff to give to other people.

So kill social security, all the other forms of government welfare to individual, corporate welfare, the drug war, the public skoolz, and all the myriad of things that the government does!

And, make no mistake, Social Security Insurance, is a deliberate mislabeling of a Ponzi scheme designed to put all older Americans on welfare. Their pay in doesn't even come close to matching the payout. SSI is nothing more than a transfer from poor minority males to old rich white females! SSI has single handedly demolished the traditional family. Before Roosevelt, families of different generations bonded together to help each other. Old folks lived with or near their children and helped with the economics and the grand children. With the advent of SSI, they had the wear with all to move to Florida and "retire". Until such time as then need a nursing home, all of their assets magically disappear and it becomes the government's burden. In the old days, the family figured it out. And, there were charities to help. Remember the old soldiers home, and such? I do.

Then, there will be NO need to use force on people?

Prior to 1924, there was no immigration control. Then, only people willing to work come here. There was a vibrant civil society, outside of the government, to help them. The various fraternal organizations have there roots in the need to help immigrants to land. The Churches had a huge role in social services. All as a balance to government.

See that is all what it is about — government control! They get us fighting over the scraps that they the rulers deign to allow drop from their table. e fight with each other over this issue or that issue.
The free market allows people to CHOOSE what services they want. Only government gets to dictate what services we will pay for.

Arghh!

Let's shine up the Statue of Liberty and get back to those ideals.

A pen(sion)ed-in budget 
***Begin Quote***

The Star-Ledger today offers a pretty solid overview of the fiscal calamity facing the state, which raises unstated questions about the current budget discussions that neither political party seems willing to answer.

Gov. Jon Corzine, as I've written many times, has put together a painful budget that makes some effort to right the state's fiscal ship. The problem is that he is asking taxpayers to help foot the bill though an increase in the sales tax rate and an expansion in what it can be applied to.

1. The state has been spending more money than it has generated in recurring revenues for years

So, that's easy. Hard times are here. Cut the spending to the level of theft.

Yes, money extracted involuntarily from people is theft. Let's get the gubamint out of the theft business. A start would be to cut ALL the services that are not Constitutionally required. Even those, that are required, but should really be dumped or minimized, could be unenforced by the Guv. They are enough lawyers in Trenton to justify whatever the Guv really really wants to do!

Why is the gubamint the only thing in the world that can force us to "buy" its services and "pay" outrageously for it? If I can't avoid it, then it's a tax. Let's have truth in gubamint labels. If a service is SO important that people want it, then let thems that want it pay for it and leave the rest of us out!

Gubamint is ineffective and inefficient. Ineffective, in that, it ALWAYS hurts the people it is intended to help and has unintended consequences. Inefficient, in that, it can not do what a market can do because it always has overhead and is never permitted to fail going out of business. No one can name ONE effective and / or efficient gubamint program.

2. The state has been underfunding its pension plan

Well, IBM, Delta, and a host of other companies have shown the Guv how to lead us out of this problem. Get the State out of the pension business. Now don't screw the people. They have a right to depend upon what they were promised. So, lets unwind it. New employees get a defined CONTRIBUTION plan like a 401k. Old employees are "frozen" with a Net Present Value of what there pension is worth. If we don't have the money in the pension plan to unwind it. Give them a partial payment and an IOU for the difference. The IOUs are basically bonds for the future value. We should be fair but not fools.

Some reforms are needed:
** one job per person period;
** no relatives under your supervision, sorry your family have to get real jobs;
** vacation, use it or lose it;
** sick pay, you have to be kidding, use it or lose it;
** we eliminated pensions; so the era of adding sick and ot pay to your pension base is over.

Yup, Guv C wouldn't tolerate this Barbara Streisand when he was on Wall Street, so why is Trenton different? Yup, no cajonies!

Hey Guv C, hire me for a dollar a year, and in one year, we could have it cleaned up. I've worked for Wall Street bosses who would only need six months. My mother in her prime could have done it in three!

A MATTER OF DEFINITION  June 16, 2006

A long time ago, in a Wichita far away, I met Robert LeFevre for the first time at a week-long seminar in the basement of the Ramada Inn. I learned a lot from him in that week, and over the years that followed. For example, as Americans, each of us has the right to vote as our individual conscience may dictate — for the socialist of our choice. LeFevre referred, as I have myself ever since, to so-called liberals as “left wing socialists” and to so-called conservatives as “right wing socialists”, pointing out that there isn’t any other option on the conventional political spectrum, or on the ballot at the polls.Vote for the socialist of your choice, but vote.

You have to admire people who can spike the verbal volleyball! I'm going to steal this argument, with attribution of course.

The Battle of Wakarusa
NLG and ACLU Fail to Defend Liberty
by Jim Davidson
***Begin Quote***

In early June 2006, the Wakarusa Music Festival took place around the USA Army Corps of Engineers Clinton Lake park facilities. About fifteen thousand people from around the country came for the festival, camped out, listened to live music, and brought millions of dollars in sales to area businesses.

But it wasn't all good news. With a USA feral "high intensity drug-trafficking area" grant, the State of Kansas and the Douglas County Sheriff's Department organized blockades of Kansas Highway 10, US Highway 59, and off ramps from Interstate 70, causing a three-day traffic snarl, violating individual liberties, and generally making a mess of the festival. The organizers who have brought the event to Lawrence, Kansas for three years in a row are considering not having it again, due to the oppressive police presence.

There goes the Fourth Amendment. The writer correctly asserts that the lawyers, a government granted monopoly, can't seem to get organized in time to defend our freedoms. But, they have no problem getting organized to take the benefits of a government monopoly. Sigh, what can one person do? 

Unemployment is an uninsurable risk!

The purpose of insurance is to take the risk from an individual and spread it among a large number of people and  / or organizations that are exposed to the same, or similar, risks.

So, rather than one person absorbing a million dollar loss, it's preferable to have a million people lose a dollar. In theory  and practice, this is done by an insurance company. But, Lloyds of London is a partnership. 

In order to transfer the risks, someone has to estimate the probability and cost of losses.  So, losses have to be estimable. Also there needs to be a large population to spread it over. Or, at least, some population who wants to pool their risks and minimize their losses. So this assumes that there are a class of people who all are exposed to the risk. 

I have full control over being employed or not being employed. All I have to do is tell my boss what I really think of him and I will soon be unemployed. On the other hand, I can almost always make sure that I will be employed if I am willing to take drastic wage cuts, for instance. If I were to work nearly for free, I would be employed.

So obviously this is not a risk that is insurable. It falls into the realm of individual responsibility.

It's a scam by gubamint to: confuse the issue, make people dependent upon gubamint as opposed to self-reliant / family -reliant, destabilize families, train people to taking welfare, eviscerate charities – unions – fraternal organizations – clubs, create make work jobs for gubamint "workers", and above all make the politicians look good.
