American Taxpayers Are Fed Up!!
Americans are responding to the real fact that "the wool has been pulled" over their eyes. Whether a tax, fine, restitution, or fee any payment to a government is a "tax". I love our military, but why does the American military manage campaigns instead of using the full force given them from us to completely annihilate the enemy? Americans are taxed to pay for weapons designed for complete destruction yet war planners can only "manage" the confrontation?
Then we have the trickle down effect. Why are the police called "Pigs"? Is it because we the people are paying too much and getting so little in return? Do not even get me started on how our "taxes" are being used to finance the technology used by government or police agencies everywhere to erode or remove our basic civil rights.
Hopefully in this great country called America the pendulum will keep on swinging!!

Why Do We Keep Electing Lawyers? Why?
Has research proved people must be managed by lawyers? If so, where is it written? Besides, who says we must be managed? Yet almost every day a new law is written by an elected lawyer, be it a judge or a politician. To whom do you think a new law really benefits? If you said lawyers and judges, please read on.
In my short half of a century life, living in the land of the free, I have seen so much freedom erode. How did it happen? In just about every endeavor of our life, it has become necessary to consult with a lawyer before proceeding. Do you really think that is in our personal interest? Free worlds always collapse due to the cost attributed to lawyers. Personal responsibility has been replaced with lawyers and the courts they thrive in now determine how we shall proceed.
Judges, who were once lawyers, and lawyers are quite comfortable with the power they share. One only has to look at our history to see how easy it is to replace the judge and the politician with someone whose mind is much more expansive and founded upon true reality.

One Heck Of A Racket
Long before the insurance policy people were born to live and die. During their pre-insurance life they were extremely responsible in order to save or protect themselves from financial loss. Most made it without any problems while some did not.
Fast forward to now and in almost all modern countries people are now required buy their government to buy insurance for just about everything we do or own. The cost of the insurance is very high obviously, for it is required. Most are able to afford it while some can not.
The protection racket called insurance motivates responsibility through threat of coverage loss. If one is not responsible, future insurance premium expense can be unaffordable and without coverage, your quality of life will be severely diminished.
Before insurance, most made it while some did not. With insurance, most will make it while others will not.
What a racket.

Anthony Johnson in 1654 sues Robert Parker
Anthony Johnson was a black man who refused to release another black man named John Casor from indentured servitude. Casor sought help from Robert Parker, a white man who intervened and tried to persuade Johnson to release Casor and give him his freedom. After all, Johnson, originally from Angola, had once been an indentured servant himself. Johnson had prospered since his contract of servitude ended. Parker argued he should release Casor as the contract stipulated.
Up until that time, indentured servitude lasted about 7 years. At that time the servant was granted freedom from employment as a servant. The former servants were given land, money, food, and other assets by their employer for their services. This gave them a good start and most had a trade to use, learned from their tenure as an indentured servant. Many prospered and became slave owners themselves.
How could they own a slave you might ask? After all, indentured servitude was the method of employment for many immigrants at that time. They could own a slave because Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in 1654 for the right to own a man forever. Until the civil war ended that transgression, white, black, and indian people were enslaved, no longer held by a contract of servitude.
What will really surprise you is the percentages of black families in relationship to white families who owned slaves. Why is there no mention of this in "ROOTS" or "TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE?" If almost 35% of the black population owned slaves while less than 4% of the white population owned slaves, why is the white slave owner only depicted in our modern society?
After all, whether the slave owner was black or white, the slave was either black, white, or indian.
