The Liberty Tree Lantern

The Liberty Tree Lantern has been TV channel flipping, at all times of the day, and must report that very rarely and far and few between have the commentators on TV been talking on behalf of the taxpayers with regards as to how much ADDITIONAL more of our taxes, our children’s taxes and our Grand-children’s taxes are going to be taken out of paychecks in the near future and beyond to cover the Emergency Economic Stability Act of 2008 or a “derivative” of it, that may still be passed, even though, the first attempt failed yesterday.

Capt. Karl, this writer, is highly alarmed that so many comentators are not representing us or the DIRECT cost to our families which will come to us via the taking of money out of our paychecks before we even receive them in additional Federal Income Tax “withholding”. 

This blogger must ask the question: “Why is it so very rare that any of these TV commentators, on ANY TV CHANNEL, are talking about how much MORE in earnings is the IRS going to take from our paychecks in the near and distant future?”  Are they going to take 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80% of our check away from us for this?  How much of our paychecks are they going to take?

And, then, when the ADDITIONAL PROBLEM, above all problems, hits which is $90,000,000,000,000.00, over the infinite horizon, (NINTY TRILLION DOLLARS and No Sense) UNFUNDED Liabilities of JUST Social Security and Medicare, which will exist by January when the new Congress and President takes over.  Who is going to pay for that I wonder?

So people, you MUST REALIZE, this is the end of “The Matrix” or we are going to lose our freedom and settle for the chains and bondage of the soup kitchens of the Welfare State in the near future and beyond.

We must FIGHT for Freedom (from Government) or suffer the horror of a thousand years of darkness in the clutches of Socialism or Communism.

This is a Time for Choosing.  Do we want FREEDOM (from Government) where we are the Masters and Government is the Servants or are we going to settle for tyranny, oppression, corruption, and despotism resulting in the equal distribution of misery for all?  Do we want all of us equally broke by Government stealing from our earnings to make sure that nobody gets ahead of anybody else no matter how hard or how successful a person and his or her skills might be?  The time for us to make this decision has honestly come to you and me now.  We must realize the veracity of this fact, so that we can get on with all of us individually making our decision on this matter of freedom or socialism.  But we need to man up and make the hopefully informed choice for ourselves and not let a bunch of bureaucrats decide for us and place us in a financial and political cage; for that is not freedom.
