Lol. Sheer delusion.
Clever article. Thanks for posting.
Victims of Lawful Plunder
Men naturally rebel against the injustice of which they are victims. Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the plundered classes try somehow to enter - by peaceful or revolutionary means - into the making of laws. According to their degree of enlightenment, these plundered classes may propose one of two entirely different purposes when they attempt to attain political power: Either they may wish to stop lawful plunder, or they may wish to share in it.
Woe to the nation when this latter purpose prevails among the mass victims of lawful plunder when they, in turn, seize the power to make laws! Until that happens, the few practice lawful plunder upon the many, a common practice where the right to participate in the making of law is limited to a few persons. But then, participation in the making of law becomes universal. And then, men seek to balance their conflicting interests by universal plunder. Instead of rooting out the injustices found in society, they make these injustices general. As soon as the plundered classes gain political power, they establish a system of reprisals against other classes. They do not abolish legal plunder. (This objective would demand more enlightenment than they possess.) Instead, they emulate their evil predecessors by participating in this legal plunder, even though it is against their own interests.
It is as if it were necessary, before a reign of justice appears, for everyone to suffer a cruel retribution - some for their evilness, and some for their lack of understanding.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder
/”The Law” - Bastiat (1801-1850)
Let’s not forget that this is not just a Presidential primary. There are a lot of RINO’s in the house and senate up for reelection too. Here in Alabama Senator Shelby is up and he has plastered every billboard he could find with his ads. Thing is for his entire term we never heard anything from him. I even wrote my Senator (Session) and suggested we needed to put out an Amber alert for Shelby since we never hear from him. Many don’t realize that he was originally a Democrat but changed party just to get elected and ever since he has pretended to be conservative, like Senator a Sessions who really is comcevative. Not that I have a problem with seeing the light but only if you switch party for the tight reason. I am pour of Sessions because I frequently see him in the news fighting for conservative values, but not once did I see Shelby st his side in agreement. So I urge everyone to get to know who else is running in their state and primary them.
Not impressed with the tax plan, seems it will be a lesser version of the same imbalances, correct me if wrong, as I ain’t gone to campaign site nor watched the last couple of debates.
Really well written. Thanks for sharing!
