GOVERNMENT IS JUST A WORD FOR THE THINGS WE DO TOGETHER

GOVERNMENT IS JUST A WORD FOR THE THINGS WE DO TOGETHER: Armed government agents raid animal shelter to euthanize baby deer.  It was like a SWAT team,” shelter employee Ray Schulze said.
Two weeks ago, Schulze was working in the barn at the Society of St. Francis on the Kenosha-Illinois border when a swarm of squad cars arrived and officers unloaded with a search warrant.
“(There were) nine DNR agents and four deputy sheriffs, and they were all armed to the teeth,” Schulze said.



WALTER HUDSON COMMENTS ON “INCLUSIVE PROSPERITY ACT”
Urban legend holds that Willie Sutton told a reporter that he robbed banks “because that’s where the money is.” Not to be outdone, Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison recently made a similar observation. CNS News reports:


Ellison was discussing his “Inclusive Prosperity Act” measure at the July 25th Progressive Democrats of America roundtable in Washington.

“The bottom line is we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it,” Ellison continued, “The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States. Health, welfare, housing – all these things.”

The “Inclusive Prosperity Act” would levy a sales tax on the trading of stocks, bonds and derivatives.

We can induce from Ellison’s comments that he believes the government cannot go broke so long as money remains in the private sector to be taken. In other words, your money does not belong to you. The state allows you to keep what you have and reserves the right to seize it for redistribution.

Ellison is far from the only dunce in Congress, but the sheer scale of his stupidity is astounding.

The government has no rights. It has duties. Its first and primary duty is to protect the rights of the people. Government does this best by governing least. Government certainly does not have the "right" to plunder some to buy votes from others.

Benito Mussolini would be proud. The Italian dictator who coined the term fascism defined it as a system of government where the state exists for its own sake, subordinating the individual. Like Ellison, Mussolini spoke of the state as though it were a person, elevating its “will” above that of the individual. Ellison ascribes “rights” to the government — to “the people of the United States” — while denying the property right of individuals
