Let's Celebrate The Massive Tyrannical Greek Bailout With A Reminder To International Bureaucrats - It's Not Yours To Give
This is a repost of 'Not Yours to Give' that I am putting up in celebration of the yoke of tyranny shackled upon the people of Greece in some attempt to keep the global Ponzi scheme going. The EU has saddled Greece with $146 billion dollars in more debt while demanding austerity measures from the sovereign people of Greece. So, if Greece didn't already have enough debt, they now have $146 billion more in debt to solve their problems. And they have new austerity programs to ensure a future crisis is all but inevitable. In other words, this is not going to solve any problems. This is like putting a band-aid on a beached whale. If you couldn't pay your personal bills before and your income was cut and you were saddled with more debt, would you magically be able to now pay your bills? A completely preposterous and criminal act against the sovereignty of Greece. I believe a better solution would be for the sovereign people of Greece to peacefully demand the removal of their current government as happened in Iceland and take back their country. They can then decide how to deal with this crisis as a self-determined, sovereign people via a healthy, reasoned debate on the country's issues and a way forward.
Regardless, I want to repost a timelessly classic piece titled it's Not Yours To Give as a reminder to international bureaucratic heroine pushers backing this deal.
The power of collecting and disbursing money at pleasure is the most dangerous power that can be entrusted to man, particularly under our system of collecting revenue by a tariff, which reaches every man in the country, no matter how poor he may be, and the poorer he is the more he pays in proportion to his means. What is worse, it presses upon him without his knowledge where the weight centers, for there is not a man in the United States who can ever guess how much he pays to the government. So you see, that while you are contributing to relieve one, you are drawing it from thousands who are even worse off than he. If you had the right to give anything, the amount was simply a matter of discretion with you, and you had as much right to give $20,000,000 as $20,000. If you have the right to give to one, you have the right to give to all; and, as the Constitution neither defines charity nor stipulates the amount, you are at liberty to give to any and everything which you may believe, or profess to believe, is a charity, and to any amount you may think proper. You will very easily perceive what a wide door this would open for fraud and corruption and favoritism, on the one hand, and for robbing the people on the other.
I think it's quite apparent political idiots across the globe are robbing the sovereign people around the world. Why would the people of Greece support this "bailout" which does nothing other than reduce income in Greece while at the same time raising taxes to a choking level? There are far better solutions that the people of Greece should be determining in a national democratic debate.
