Nobody said life was fair.If you read my other links I already said that they were technically driven out of territory that was theres. By force or dialogue it was the best for both sides.
I have nothing against Indians,or any race for that matter.Everything turned out for the best for all involved if you ask me.You can't change history.
Your agenda is to stand up for the little guy all the time on any issue.Those sides unfortunately for the indians anyway lose.

How was this the best thing for the Indians? How the fuck can you possibly say the slaughter of almost their entire population was the best thing for them. Explain.

Illegal aliens: declaring war on the enablers
Illegal aliens: declaring war on the enablers
1. a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country unlawfully or without the country's authorization.
2. a foreigner who enters the U.S. without an entry or immigrant visa, esp. a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson.
The hysteria pumped up by the useful fools in mainstream media and cable news network anchors over Arizona's new immigration law is shameful. The temper tantrums by mayors and race baiters like Al Sharpton demanding the State of Arizona ignore the lawlessness in their state caused by the illegals invasion is putrid. A U.S. Congressman calling for the Department of Fatherland Security under Jan (the man) Napolitano to ignore any requests from law enforcement in the State of Arizona to determine citizenship status is beyond words. This is what such irresponsible actions are creating:
"It's going to change our lives," said Emilio Almodovar, a 13-year-old American citizen from Phoenix. "We can't walk to school any more. We can't be in the streets anymore without the pigs thinking we're illegal immigrants."
The pigs?
All to protect criminals. When was the last time you saw massive demonstrations and mayors come out in support of bank robbers?
Thieves steal what doesn't belong to them. The same applies to the 22 million illegal aliens who have invaded our country openly and in our face, stealing jobs, natural resources and bankrupting the states in welfare, food stamps and medical care. Not to mention the massive amount of drugs coming across the border as well as gangs and terrorists. Arizona should just roll over and do nothing while their citizens suffer such madness.
There is no difference. A thief is a thief.
Oh, make no mistake about it, illegals are in an uproar and things are likely to get very ugly. Back on March 27, 2006, I wrote a column titled When Illegals Go Berserk, Will Your State be Prepared? Well, the situation is moving into a dangerous direction. Go watch to this harridan shout, "We will not stop! We will take up our shovels and pickaxes and we...we will use them against you! Believe that!"
The mobs are planning protests in 70 cities May 1, 2010.
We saw the hordes back in 2006 brazenly walk the streets shouting for non existent rights. Regardless of what activist judges who should have been removed from the bench by Congress say, since an individual has no right to be on U.S. soil, they don't have constitutional rights. It doesn't matter how loud they scream or how many media mouthpieces in print and cable support these criminals, it doesn't change legal facts. Humane treatment during detention and then deportation.
When President Hoover deported a million illegal aliens and President Eisenhower deported 1.3 MILLION illegals, we did not see this blatant shove it you know where from mobs or the media. Hoover and Eisenhower had the guts to stand up to special interests to support the law and American workers. Jobs here in America belong to legal and naturalized citizens, not illegal aliens regardless of country of origin.
Today, the "progressive" media and their mouthpieces, politicians, advocacy groups and extremists like Al Sharpton have absolutely NO regard for American workers or the carnage heaped upon our country, destroying thousands of families and the victims of illegal aliens. It's all about getting votes after rewarding criminals with amnesty and registered as Democrats.
Here are a few sobering facts:
We Spend about $397 Billion dollars in Welfare and Other Social Services for Illegals since 1996
There are about 5 million children of Illegals in the Public Schools
There are 420,137 Illegals in the State of Arizona
There are Currently 22,753,048 illegal immigrants in this country in our jails and 740,000 fugitives
They hold 11,570,070 Skilled jobs in this country.
The cost in human suffering from murders, rapes, slaughter by drunk Mexicans on our roads and highways, illegals driving with no insurance can't even be calculated.
We have 26 million unemployed Americans. Those 11.5 MILLION jobs belong to Americans NOT illegals from Ireland, the Republic of Georgia, Philippines, commie China, Mexico or South America.
Dozens of states are on financial life support because of the financial meltdown which is going to get much worse. States cannot continue to fund unemployment for their citizens that are running into a year or more. States cannot continue shelling out millions for welfare because their legal citizens can't find work because the jobs are held by illegal aliens.
America's public school system has been run into the ground with the massive numbers of illegal students. And, once again, the Catholic Church is butting their nose into politics and issuing threats. America's children are being cheated as resources are stretched thin because you have 5 MILLION illegal alien children in class rooms. Have you seen the militant college students who are here illegally demanding tuition breaks while you can't even help your son or daughter pay for a community college because you're being taxed to death to support illegals?
Illegals in Arizona now know they can be thrown into a federal holding/detention center if caught under this new law and then deported to country of origin. That means they can't go back to their dwelling. If they have a mortgage, unless someone pays the loan, it will go into foreclosure. Their auto will be impounded, so that is gone. They won't be able to run home and get the boyfriend, clothes, make up or anything else. Which is as it should be: Smuggle yourself across the border and you pay the price. It doesn't matter if you've been here one day or 15 years. It doesn't matter if you're six or sixty, you have no right to be here. This isn't a popularity contest about who is nice. Nice people don't break the law. Do we excuse bank robbers just because they "want a better life" by stealing what doesn't belong to them?
SF Mayor Gavin Newsom, as oily and smarmy a politician as they come, is calling for a boycott against Arizona. Other useful idiot mayors are joining the politically correct fray to protect illegal aliens and promote further lawlessness. Here's a news flash for you, Mayor: I wouldn't step foot in San Francisco if you gave me the keys to the city. I'm leaving next week to visit my family in California. Instead of heading up Colorado to 80, then west, I'm going up to Highway 40 which runs through Arizona. I'm spending my money at a hotel in Arizona as well as food and gas.
I say it's now time to crack down on those who enable illegal aliens to remain in this country. The enablers have spent decades "empowering" these criminals while the U.S. government, specifically the Federal Department of Justice, has simply refused to prosecute them.
It's time to change the game.
First, is employers. SHAME on any company in this country that knowingly hires illegals. I know a man in California who owns a construction business. He told me he hires illegals because they are cheap labor and with all the regulations and laws, he just couldn't make his business stay afloat. After that conversation, I've never spoken with him again. Whose fault is that? Here's the answer:
1. Why do employers so severely impacted keep voting the same job destroyers into your legislatures? If you state rep and/or senator continues to pass so many laws and regulations that make it impossible to run a profitable business, why do you keep voting them back into office?
2. Why do employers across this country continue to vote the same incumbents back to Congress, like Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) who voted for treaties like NAFTA, GATT and CAFTA that have destroyed MILLIONS of good paying jobs and sent them off shore?
3. Why do employers across this country continue to vote the same incumbents back to Congress who continue to allow agencies like the EPA, USDA and Dept of Labor to run amok issuing more and more regulations that make it impossible to run a profitable business?
4. Why do employers across this country continue to vote the same incumbents back to Congress who refuse to get rid of the withholding tax and stop the unnecessary federal income tax? That would free up mountains of money so people can buy your products and services. Illegals are responsible for stagnant wages and higher taxes.
The solutions are there, but no one seems to want to implement them. Congressman Ron Paul has twice introduced bills to stop the bogus withholding tax which would pump millions of dollars into the economy tomorrow. There was no support from Republicans or those so caring Democrats. Yet, on March 2, 2010, here in Texas, every single incumbent running for reelection to Congress won their primary. That is a fact. For some reason, all those voters decided that sending the same crooks and whores back to Congress is going to change something.

Should officials of the FDIC be prosecuted? April 19, 2005
"The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is encouraging banks to sign up illegal aliens in the banking system, calling the growth of the market "a compelling incentive for U.S. banks to enter this largely untapped market." And the FDIC program demonstrates that unbanked Latin American immigrants can be brought into the financial mainstream.
"But there are clear laws on the books for the integrity of the immigration system. United States criminal code, "It is a crime punishable by 10 years in jail for aiding and abetting someone in this country illegally for commercial gain." And the Bank Secrecy Act of 1972 makes it clear banks must know their customer, and any illegal activity must be reported to the government."
Why haven't these state legislators been indicted? December 21, 2009
"But, what about state legislators who have voted to give these criminals driver's licenses so they can work? Remember what the usurper in the White House, Obama/Soetoro said, "When I was a state senator in Illinois, I voted to require that illegal aliens get trained, get a license, get insurance to protect public safety. That was my intention. The problem we have here is not driver's licenses. Undocumented workers do not come here to drive. They're here to work."
"They're here to work? They have no right to even be in this country, much less help themselves to jobs that belong to Americans. Comrade Obama wants to reward them by stealing the fruits of your labor to train them, give them driver's licenses and steal American jobs. This is the morally bankrupt individual people voted for to bring "change" and "hope." Marxist Obama brought more of the same and worse. Juan McCain stands right next to him on this issue.
"This rot has seeped into the state houses as well. Four states of the Union allow these criminals to have driver's licenses: Hawaii, New Mexico, Washington and Utah. Those state legislatures are aiding and abetting criminals who have violated federal laws. Those legislators and the governors have signaled loud and clear that it's a good thing to reward those who break the law and rub it in our faces. What happens when an illegal with a Utah driver's license hits and kills an American citizen in San Diego and then skips across the border? Are we then supposed to thank Utah's legislature for the carnage they let loose?"
Why hasn't the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau been indicted? February 2, 2010
"Keeping with the Obama Administration's mission to conduct the most diverse outreach campaign in history, the director of the U.S. Census Bureau is touring Mexican border towns with high illegal immigrant populations to personally assure that those who fill out questionnaires this spring will not be deported.
"This is a safe thing for everyone to do regardless of your immigration status,? the president's handpicked census director (Robert Groves) told residents of a renowned illegal alien ?colonia? in south Texas this week. He visited several dilapidated makeshift homes off of a dirt road in a Laredo neighborhood called San Carlos to stress that census data will be kept confidential and not turned over to immigration authorities."
Nebraska Hustles To Keep Illegal Alien Medical Coverage - April 19, 2010
"On the heels of a federal crackdown, lawmakers in Nebraska are scrambling to pass legislation that will allow pregnant illegal immigrant women to continue receiving free, taxpayer-financed medical care. The state has for decades offered the costly perk to pregnant illegal aliens, whose ?anchor babies? are automatically United States citizens. However, the federal government recently notified the state that it was illegally determining eligibility for publicly-funded medical care known as Medicaid."
Nebraskans: How does it feel to be raped by the enablers in your state legislature?
County Gives $100k To Group That Aids Illegal Immigrants April 20, 2010
"In a disgraceful waste of tax dollars, a community group that assists illegal immigrants in the U.S. and helps them evade arrest has received $100,000 from a county that ironically has increased immigration enforcement in the last year.
"The public funds went to Progreso Hispano, a nonprofit in Fairfax Virginia that proudly helps illegal aliens and aims to empower them and improve the quality of their lives and communities. The charity also counsels illegal immigrants who get arrested and offers a handy guide for ?undocumented? residents dealing with federal agents.
"Progreso Hispano openly advices the areas illegal aliens to refrain from providing government officials with information about their immigration status, not to carry papers from another country, not to open the door if authorities come to their home, not to run and to sway co-workers to collectively remain silent and ask for an attorney in the event of an immigration raid.
"The Fairfax County Supervisors that recently approved the public funds aren't bothered by Progreso Hispano?s work and predict it won't negatively affect future allocations, according to the local newspaper that broke the story this week. One supervisor says she has no problem with ?extending outreach? that informs people on how to comply with the law."
Let the war begin
Jon Christian Ryter is one of those journalists who writes factual material and his research is impeccable. Guess what I learned from one of his columns?
"It was Truman who pushed the Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952 through Congress in the closing days of his administration. Under Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv](iii) any US citizen that knowingly assists an illegal alien, provides them with employment, food, water or shelter has committed a felony. City, county or State officials that declare their jurisdictions to be "Open Cities, Counties or States are subject to arrest; as are law enforcement agencies who chose not to enforce this law. Police officers who ignore officials who violate Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv](iii) are committing a Section 274 federal felony. Furthermore, according to Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952, if you live in a city, county or State that refuses to enforce the law for whatever reason, the officials making those rules are financially liable for any crime committed within their jurisdiction by an illegal alien."
Here, go read the law for yourself.
Read those words: if you live in a city, county or State that refuses to enforce the law for whatever reason, the officials making those rules are financially liable for any crime committed within their jurisdiction by an illegal alien.
Tea Party group in Fairfax County, victim of an illegal alien: Go after the county supervisors because through that grant they ARE knowingly assisting illegals.
It's time to start making elected officials AND police who refuse to uphold the law accountable and hit their wallets. Victims of illegal aliens need to get an attorney and go after them. The "best" case scenario would be individuals who are victims of illegal aliens to get together, hire a good attorney (share legal costs) and go after state officials and that includes, as Jon says, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi:
"Although they think they are, the President of the United States (legitimate or illegitimate), and the members of Congress are not above the law of the land. If Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [D-NV] and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] and any other member of Congress refuses to enforce Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv](iii), they need to be impeached for committing a federal felony, tried and removed from office, and then placed on trial in a US federal court (not of their choosing), and sentenced to federal prison for harboring illegals."
Arizona's law was written with federal statutes in it. The whores in the media have deliberately withheld the actual language of the bill and are going ahead full steam to use the race card to whip millions of illegals into a frenzy. I say it's time to declare legal war against every individual in the covered categories under the Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952. That law can be OUR non violent solution to part of the problem.
If you have a group or organization, put your extra pennies together, hire a good attorney to go after your state legislator if he/she has voted for benefits of any kind and to give driver's license to illegals.
We the people need to take the power back into our hands by using the law because no one is above the law, period.
If you are part of a tea party organization that is concerned (as we all should be) about the illegals invasion, talk to them about hiring good legal counsel and go after state legislators.
State legislators: I don't know how it would work, but any city in your state that has declared itself to be a sanctuary city - use whatever legal means necessary to go after the mayor, city council and county board of stupidvisors under that federal law. Here is a web site that has been tracking sanctuary cities in this country. If possible, have your Attorney General go after mayors and other elected officials of sanctuary cities.
Send a short hard copy letter to your state legislator - even if they are out of session. No email. Look up your state legislator, get their home address if possible or the capitol and let them know about the law that is on the books. Ask them to take the steps outlined above. It's also time for the states to challenge the bogus "anchor babies" and the true meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, which I discussed in a recent column.
Yesterday I called the SF Chamber of Commerce to let them know I will not visit SF while I'm in California because of Mayor Newsom and his stupidity. I wrote a letter to Sen. Russell Pearce who got Arizona's new law written and passed to personally thank him. Sen. Pearce's son, a deputy sheriff was shot by an illegal alien; he survived. I'm printing out this column and sending a copy to Sen. Pearce and to my state rep and senator with a cover letter: Enforce the law against the enablers.
Are we going to get tough on this issue or let useful fools like Keith Olbermann, Rachael Maddow and other "progressives" push us around using the race card?
Are we going to buy into the propaganda from Democrats that Republicans will suffer in November if they support Arizona's new law or push for the same in their state? Tell that to the families of the victims murdered by illegals. Tell that to the father or mother who can't get a job because an illegal has it. Tell that to the parents of a ten year old little girl raped and murdered by some animal from south of the border.
Are we going to allow this crap to continue:
Another Illegal Alien Sues Over Arrest
<>"In the latest of several lawsuits filed by illegal immigrants against U.S. law enforcement agencies, a Mexican woman claims that an Arizona sheriff's department mistreated her during a workplace raid that led to the arrest of dozens of undocumented workers. For three years Celia Alvarez used a fake identity to work at a Phoenix landscaping company that was raided last fall by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department. Alvarez, who has four U.S.-born anchor babies, was among the 60 illegal immigrants arrested in the operation."
She's got no husband and four kids. She stole a job that belongs to an American using fake ID. Put her and the kids on a deportation bus and send them back to Mexico because as I mentioned in a recent column, a very important lawsuit germane to the one above was decided by an appeals court and the illegals lost. It is these types of lawsuits filed by criminals that are costing millions of dollars and clogging up the courts.
Tune out noise by LA Cardinal Roger Mahoney and his absurd rant: "..reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation." If the Catholic Church wants to engage in promoting and rewarding illegal aliens, perhaps the IRS should look into their tax exempt status. The same goes for any denomination. Mahoney has clearly taken the position that our laws mean nothing.
Are we going to allow individuals of Mexican ancestry who have now gotten themselves elected to Congress and state legislatures push us around using the race card?
"Because you know what? It's not enough to elect Latino leadership. If they're supporting legislation that denies the undocumented driver's license, they don't belong in office friends." Then Assembly Speaker (California State Legislature) Antonio Villaraigosa, now Mayor of a bankrupt Los Angeles:
Children of illegal aliens cost county welfare $44 million in March
Up $1 million dollars from last month
Source: Office of Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, 5th District
April 27, 2009
LOS ANGELES COUNTY - "Figures from the Department of Public Social Services show that children of illegal aliens in Los Angeles County collected more than $21 million in welfare and more than $22 million in food stamps in March 2009 -- an increase of $1 million from the previous month, according to a news release from Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. "Annually the cost of illegal immigration to Los Angeles County taxpayers exceeds one billion dollars, which includes $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $500 million in welfare and food stamps allocations, according to the news release.
"Twenty-four percent of the county's total allotment of welfare and food stamp benefits goes directly to the children of illegal aliens born in the United States, according to Antonovich's statement. "Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers," Antonovich said in the statement. "The total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds $1 billion a year - not including the millions of dollars for education."
Art Torres, California Democratic Party chairman, at the Latino Summit Response to Prop 187 at U.C. Riverside (Jan. 14, 1995): "Power is not given to you, you have to take it! People say to me when I was on the Senate floor, when I was in the Senate, why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs. And I tell my white colleagues: because you're gonna need them. Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white America."
Those are the "undocumented" Villaraigosa protects that has bankrupted his city. How did he get elected? It's a no brainer with vote fraud and three MILLION illegals parked in the LA basin.
Fabian Nunez, California assemblyman, at the Latino Summit Response to Prop 187 at U.C. Riverside (Jan. 14, 1995): "Each of you, get ten people to go with us on that march in Washington, D.C., and I guarantee you just as we mobilized 150,000 to the streets of Los Angeles on October 16, we will mobilize 1 million people and bring Washington to a standstill, and those rednecks that are out there making decisions for the betterment of their communities will think twice before they push forward anti- immigrant legislation against our community."

As for former Mexican President Zedillo's comment on the web site above: "With all due respect to Uncle Sam, this shows Los Angeles has never stopped being ours."
Pure propaganda repeated on signs by vicious mobs of illegals in their protests. This big lie has been pounded into the heads of illiterate illegals who don't even know the history of their own country. They simply parrot what they're told (You stole our land!!!) to justify sneaking across the border. If illegals from Mexico want to blame someone, they can blame the government of Mexico back in 1848:
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
"The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which brought an official end to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) was signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, a city north of the capital where the Mexican government had fled with the advance of U.S. forces.
"The United States paid Mexico $15,000,000 "in consideration of the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States" (see Article XII of the treaty) and agreed to pay American citizens debts owed to them by the Mexican government (see Article XV). Other provisions included protection of property and civil rights of Mexican nationals living within the new boundaries of the United States (see Articles VIII and IX), the promise of the United States to police its boundaries (see Article XI), and compulsory arbitration of future disputes between the two countries (see Article XXI)."
Federal immigration law applies to any individual regardless of country of origin.
This isn't about race, it's about the law.
We don't need another immigration "reform" bill out of Congress. The last one signed by Ronald Reagan opened the flood gates. The Department of Fatherland Security has a $40 BILLION dollar a year budget and our borders are still wide open. Enforce the laws on the books and support states who say enough is enough.
Millions of illegals can march off a few pounds this Saturday, but we the people are going after the enablers while other states follow Arizona's example of doing what is right.

Regardless of what activist judges who should have been removed from the bench by Congress say, since an individual has no right to be on U.S. soil, they don't have constitutional rights. It doesn't matter how loud they scream or how many media mouthpieces in print and cable support these criminals, it doesn't change legal facts. Humane treatment during detention and then deportation.
When President Hoover deported a million illegal aliens and President Eisenhower deported 1.3 MILLION illegals, we did not see this blatant shove it you know where from mobs or the media. Hoover and Eisenhower had the guts to stand up to special interests to support the law and American workers. Jobs here in America belong to legal and naturalized citizens, not illegal aliens regardless of country of origin.
Today, the "progressive" media and their mouthpieces, politicians, advocacy groups and extremists like Al Sharpton have absolutely NO regard for American workers or the carnage heaped upon our country, destroying thousands of families and the victims of illegal aliens. It's all about getting votes after rewarding criminals with amnesty and registered as Democrats.
Here are a few sobering facts:
We Spend about $397 Billion dollars in Welfare and Other Social Services for Illegals since 1996
There are about 5 million children of Illegals in the Public Schools
There are 420,137 Illegals in the State of Arizona
There are Currently 22,753,048 illegal immigrants in this country in our jails and 740,000 fugitives
They hold 11,570,070 Skilled jobs in this country.
The cost in human suffering from murders, rapes, slaughter by drunk Mexicans on our roads and highways, illegals driving with no insurance can't even be calculated.
We have 26 million unemployed Americans. Those 11.5 MILLION jobs belong to Americans NOT illegals from Ireland, the Republic of Georgia, Philippines, commie China, Mexico or South America.
Dozens of states are on financial life support because of the financial meltdown which is going to get much worse. States cannot continue to fund unemployment for their citizens that are running into a year or more. States cannot continue shelling out millions for welfare because their legal citizens can't find work because the jobs are held by illegal aliens.
America's public school system has been run into the ground with the massive numbers of illegal students. And, once again, the Catholic Church is butting their nose into politics and issuing threats. America's children are being cheated as resources are stretched thin because you have 5 MILLION illegal alien children in class rooms. Have you seen the militant college students who are here illegally demanding tuition breaks while you can't even help your son or daughter pay for a community college because you're being taxed to death to support illegals?
Illegals in Arizona now know they can be thrown into a federal holding/detention center if caught under this new law and then deported to country of origin. That means they can't go back to their dwelling. If they have a mortgage, unless someone pays the loan, it will go into foreclosure. Their auto will be impounded, so that is gone. They won't be able to run home and get the boyfriend, clothes, make up or anything else. Which is as it should be: Smuggle yourself across the border and you pay the price. It doesn't matter if you've been here one day or 15 years. It doesn't matter if you're six or sixty, you have no right to be here. This isn't a popularity contest about who is nice. Nice people don't break the law. Do we excuse bank robbers just because they "want a better life" by stealing what doesn't belong to them?
SF Mayor Gavin Newsom, as oily and smarmy a politician as they come, is calling for a boycott against Arizona. Other useful idiot mayors are joining the politically correct fray to protect illegal aliens and promote further lawlessness. Here's a news flash for you, Mayor: I wouldn't step foot in San Francisco if you gave me the keys to the city. I'm leaving next week to visit my family in California. Instead of heading up Colorado to 80, then west, I'm going up to Highway 40 which runs through Arizona. I'm spending my money at a hotel in Arizona as well as food and gas.
I say it's now time to crack down on those who enable illegal aliens to remain in this country. The enablers have spent decades "empowering" these criminals while the U.S. government, specifically the Federal Department of Justice, has simply refused to prosecute them.
It's time to change the game.
First, is employers. SHAME on any company in this country that knowingly hires illegals. I know a man in California who owns a construction business. He told me he hires illegals because they are cheap labor and with all the regulations and laws, he just couldn't make his business stay afloat. After that conversation, I've never spoken with him again. Whose fault is that? Here's the answer:
1. Why do employers so severely impacted keep voting the same job destroyers into your legislatures? If you state rep and/or senator continues to pass so many laws and regulations that make it impossible to run a profitable business, why do you keep voting them back into office?
2. Why do employers across this country continue to vote the same incumbents back to Congress, like Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) who voted for treaties like NAFTA, GATT and CAFTA that have destroyed MILLIONS of good paying jobs and sent them off shore?
3. Why do employers across this country continue to vote the same incumbents back to Congress who continue to allow agencies like the EPA, USDA and Dept of Labor to run amok issuing more and more regulations that make it impossible to run a profitable business?
4. Why do employers across this country continue to vote the same incumbents back to Congress who refuse to get rid of the withholding tax and stop the unnecessary federal income tax? That would free up mountains of money so people can buy your products and services. Illegals are responsible for stagnant wages and higher taxes.
The solutions are there, but no one seems to want to implement them. Congressman Ron Paul has twice introduced bills to stop the bogus withholding tax which would pump millions of dollars into the economy tomorrow. There was no support from Republicans or those so caring Democrats. Yet, on March 2, 2010, here in Texas, every single incumbent running for reelection to Congress won their primary. That is a fact. For some reason, all those voters decided that sending the same crooks and whores back to Congress is going to change something.

Should officials of the FDIC be prosecuted? April 19, 2005
"The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is encouraging banks to sign up illegal aliens in the banking system, calling the growth of the market "a compelling incentive for U.S. banks to enter this largely untapped market." And the FDIC program demonstrates that unbanked Latin American immigrants can be brought into the financial mainstream.
"But there are clear laws on the books for the integrity of the immigration system. United States criminal code, "It is a crime punishable by 10 years in jail for aiding and abetting someone in this country illegally for commercial gain." And the Bank Secrecy Act of 1972 makes it clear banks must know their customer, and any illegal activity must be reported to the government."
Why haven't these state legislators been indicted? December 21, 2009
"But, what about state legislators who have voted to give these criminals driver's licenses so they can work? Remember what the usurper in the White House, Obama/Soetoro said, "When I was a state senator in Illinois, I voted to require that illegal aliens get trained, get a license, get insurance to protect public safety. That was my intention. The problem we have here is not driver's licenses. Undocumented workers do not come here to drive. They're here to work."
"They're here to work? They have no right to even be in this country, much less help themselves to jobs that belong to Americans. Comrade Obama wants to reward them by stealing the fruits of your labor to train them, give them driver's licenses and steal American jobs. This is the morally bankrupt individual people voted for to bring "change" and "hope." Marxist Obama brought more of the same and worse. Juan McCain stands right next to him on this issue.
"This rot has seeped into the state houses as well. Four states of the Union allow these criminals to have driver's licenses: Hawaii, New Mexico, Washington and Utah. Those state legislatures are aiding and abetting criminals who have violated federal laws. Those legislators and the governors have signaled loud and clear that it's a good thing to reward those who break the law and rub it in our faces. What happens when an illegal with a Utah driver's license hits and kills an American citizen in San Diego and then skips across the border? Are we then supposed to thank Utah's legislature for the carnage they let loose?"
Why hasn't the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau been indicted? February 2, 2010
"Keeping with the Obama Administration's mission to conduct the most diverse outreach campaign in history, the director of the U.S. Census Bureau is touring Mexican border towns with high illegal immigrant populations to personally assure that those who fill out questionnaires this spring will not be deported.
"This is a safe thing for everyone to do regardless of your immigration status,? the president's handpicked census director (Robert Groves) told residents of a renowned illegal alien ?colonia? in south Texas this week. He visited several dilapidated makeshift homes off of a dirt road in a Laredo neighborhood called San Carlos to stress that census data will be kept confidential and not turned over to immigration authorities."
Nebraska Hustles To Keep Illegal Alien Medical Coverage - April 19, 2010
"On the heels of a federal crackdown, lawmakers in Nebraska are scrambling to pass legislation that will allow pregnant illegal immigrant women to continue receiving free, taxpayer-financed medical care. The state has for decades offered the costly perk to pregnant illegal aliens, whose ?anchor babies? are automatically United States citizens. However, the federal government recently notified the state that it was illegally determining eligibility for publicly-funded medical care known as Medicaid."

County Gives $100k To Group That Aids Illegal Immigrants April 20, 2010
"In a disgraceful waste of tax dollars, a community group that assists illegal immigrants in the U.S. and helps them evade arrest has received $100,000 from a county that ironically has increased immigration enforcement in the last year.
"The public funds went to Progreso Hispano, a nonprofit in Fairfax Virginia that proudly helps illegal aliens and aims to empower them and improve the quality of their lives and communities. The charity also counsels illegal immigrants who get arrested and offers a handy guide for ?undocumented? residents dealing with federal agents.
"Progreso Hispano openly advices the areas illegal aliens to refrain from providing government officials with information about their immigration status, not to carry papers from another country, not to open the door if authorities come to their home, not to run and to sway co-workers to collectively remain silent and ask for an attorney in the event of an immigration raid.
"The Fairfax County Supervisors that recently approved the public funds aren't bothered by Progreso Hispano?s work and predict it won't negatively affect future allocations, according to the local newspaper that broke the story this week. One supervisor says she has no problem with ?extending outreach? that informs people on how to comply with the law."
Let the war begin
Jon Christian Ryter is one of those journalists who writes factual material and his research is impeccable. Guess what I learned from one of his columns?
"It was Truman who pushed the Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952 through Congress in the closing days of his administration. Under Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv](iii) any US citizen that knowingly assists an illegal alien, provides them with employment, food, water or shelter has committed a felony. City, county or State officials that declare their jurisdictions to be "Open Cities, Counties or States are subject to arrest; as are law enforcement agencies who chose not to enforce this law. Police officers who ignore officials who violate Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv](iii) are committing a Section 274 federal felony. Furthermore, according to Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952, if you live in a city, county or State that refuses to enforce the law for whatever reason, the officials making those rules are financially liable for any crime committed within their jurisdiction by an illegal alien."
Here, go read the law for yourself.
Read those words: if you live in a city, county or State that refuses to enforce the law for whatever reason, the officials making those rules are financially liable for any crime committed within their jurisdiction by an illegal alien.
Tea Party group in Fairfax County, victim of an illegal alien: Go after the county supervisors because through that grant they ARE knowingly assisting illegals.
It's time to start making elected officials AND police who refuse to uphold the law accountable and hit their wallets. Victims of illegal aliens need to get an attorney and go after them. The "best" case scenario would be individuals who are victims of illegal aliens to get together, hire a good attorney (share legal costs) and go after state officials and that includes, as Jon says, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi:
"Although they think they are, the President of the United States (legitimate or illegitimate), and the members of Congress are not above the law of the land. If Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [D-NV] and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] and any other member of Congress refuses to enforce Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv](iii), they need to be impeached for committing a federal felony, tried and removed from office, and then placed on trial in a US federal court (not of their choosing), and sentenced to federal prison for harboring illegals."
Arizona's law was written with federal statutes in it. The whores in the media have deliberately withheld the actual language of the bill and are going ahead full steam to use the race card to whip millions of illegals into a frenzy. I say it's time to declare legal war against every individual in the covered categories under the Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952. That law can be OUR non violent solution to part of the problem.
If you have a group or organization, put your extra pennies together, hire a good attorney to go after your state legislator if he/she has voted for benefits of any kind and to give driver's license to illegals.
We the people need to take the power back into our hands by using the law because no one is above the law, period.
If you are part of a tea party organization that is concerned (as we all should be) about the illegals invasion, talk to them about hiring good legal counsel and go after state legislators.
State legislators: I don't know how it would work, but any city in your state that has declared itself to be a sanctuary city - use whatever legal means necessary to go after the mayor, city council and county board of stupidvisors under that federal law. Here is a web site that has been tracking sanctuary cities in this country. If possible, have your Attorney General go after mayors and other elected officials of sanctuary cities.
Send a short hard copy letter to your state legislator - even if they are out of session. No email. Look up your state legislator, get their home address if possible or the capitol and let them know about the law that is on the books. Ask them to take the steps outlined above. It's also time for the states to challenge the bogus "anchor babies" and the true meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, which I discussed in a recent column.
Yesterday I called the SF Chamber of Commerce to let them know I will not visit SF while I'm in California because of Mayor Newsom and his stupidity. I wrote a letter to Sen. Russell Pearce who got Arizona's new law written and passed to personally thank him. Sen. Pearce's son, a deputy sheriff was shot by an illegal alien; he survived. I'm printing out this column and sending a copy to Sen. Pearce and to my state rep and senator with a cover letter: Enforce the law against the enablers.
Are we going to get tough on this issue or let useful fools like Keith Olbermann, Rachael Maddow and other "progressives" push us around using the race card?
Are we going to buy into the propaganda from Democrats that Republicans will suffer in November if they support Arizona's new law or push for the same in their state? Tell that to the families of the victims murdered by illegals. Tell that to the father or mother who can't get a job because an illegal has it. Tell that to the parents of a ten year old little girl raped and murdered by some animal from south of the border.
Are we going to allow this crap to continue:
Another Illegal Alien Sues Over Arrest
<>"In the latest of several lawsuits filed by illegal immigrants against U.S. law enforcement agencies, a Mexican woman claims that an Arizona sheriff's department mistreated her during a workplace raid that led to the arrest of dozens of undocumented workers. For three years Celia Alvarez used a fake identity to work at a Phoenix landscaping company that was raided last fall by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department. Alvarez, who has four U.S.-born anchor babies, was among the 60 illegal immigrants arrested in the operation."
She's got no husband and four kids. She stole a job that belongs to an American using fake ID. Put her and the kids on a deportation bus and send them back to Mexico because as I mentioned in a recent column, a very important lawsuit germane to the one above was decided by an appeals court and the illegals lost. It is these types of lawsuits filed by criminals that are costing millions of dollars and clogging up the courts.
Tune out noise by LA Cardinal Roger Mahoney and his absurd rant: "..reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation." If the Catholic Church wants to engage in promoting and rewarding illegal aliens, perhaps the IRS should look into their tax exempt status. The same goes for any denomination. Mahoney has clearly taken the position that our laws mean nothing.
Are we going to allow individuals of Mexican ancestry who have now gotten themselves elected to Congress and state legislatures push us around using the race card?
"Because you know what? It's not enough to elect Latino leadership. If they're supporting legislation that denies the undocumented driver's license, they don't belong in office friends." Then Assembly Speaker (California State Legislature) Antonio Villaraigosa, now Mayor of a bankrupt Los Angeles:
Children of illegal aliens cost county welfare $44 million in March
Up $1 million dollars from last month
Source: Office of Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, 5th District
April 27, 2009
LOS ANGELES COUNTY - "Figures from the Department of Public Social Services show that children of illegal aliens in Los Angeles County collected more than $21 million in welfare and more than $22 million in food stamps in March 2009 -- an increase of $1 million from the previous month, according to a news release from Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. "Annually the cost of illegal immigration to Los Angeles County taxpayers exceeds one billion dollars, which includes $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $500 million in welfare and food stamps allocations, according to the news release.
"Twenty-four percent of the county's total allotment of welfare and food stamp benefits goes directly to the children of illegal aliens born in the United States, according to Antonovich's statement. "Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers," Antonovich said in the statement. "The total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds $1 billion a year - not including the millions of dollars for education."
Art Torres, California Democratic Party chairman, at the Latino Summit Response to Prop 187 at U.C. Riverside (Jan. 14, 1995): "Power is not given to you, you have to take it! People say to me when I was on the Senate floor, when I was in the Senate, why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs. And I tell my white colleagues: because you're gonna need them. Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white America."
Those are the "undocumented" Villaraigosa protects that has bankrupted his city. How did he get elected? It's a no brainer with vote fraud and three MILLION illegals parked in the LA basin.
Fabian Nunez, California assemblyman, at the Latino Summit Response to Prop 187 at U.C. Riverside (Jan. 14, 1995): "Each of you, get ten people to go with us on that march in Washington, D.C., and I guarantee you just as we mobilized 150,000 to the streets of Los Angeles on October 16, we will mobilize 1 million people and bring Washington to a standstill, and those rednecks that are out there making decisions for the betterment of their communities will think twice before they push forward anti- immigrant legislation against our community."

As for former Mexican President Zedillo's comment on the web site above: "With all due respect to Uncle Sam, this shows Los Angeles has never stopped being ours."
Pure propaganda repeated on signs by vicious mobs of illegals in their protests. This big lie has been pounded into the heads of illiterate illegals who don't even know the history of their own country. They simply parrot what they're told (You stole our land!!!) to justify sneaking across the border. If illegals from Mexico want to blame someone, they can blame the government of Mexico back in 1848:
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
"The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which brought an official end to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) was signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, a city north of the capital where the Mexican government had fled with the advance of U.S. forces.
"The United States paid Mexico $15,000,000 "in consideration of the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States" (see Article XII of the treaty) and agreed to pay American citizens debts owed to them by the Mexican government (see Article XV). Other provisions included protection of property and civil rights of Mexican nationals living within the new boundaries of the United States (see Articles VIII and IX), the promise of the United States to police its boundaries (see Article XI), and compulsory arbitration of future disputes between the two countries (see Article XXI)."
Federal immigration law applies to any individual regardless of country of origin.
This isn't about race, it's about the law.
We don't need another immigration "reform" bill out of Congress. The last one signed by Ronald Reagan opened the flood gates. The Department of Fatherland Security has a $40 BILLION dollar a year budget and our borders are still wide open. Enforce the laws on the books and support states who say enough is enough.
Millions of illegals can march off a few pounds this Saturday, but we the people are going after the enablers while other states follow Arizona's example of doing what is right.

At the risk of interrupting the scintillating discussion, I just don't understand defending this kind of "logic" when it comes to this issue:
Nearly 100 people rallied in Desert Hot Springs on Monday to protest a law targeting undocumented immigrants one state east of the Coachella Valley.
The protesters didn't deny there is a problem with people illegally crossing the United States-Mexico border.
However, they called the law a form of racial profiling that lumps troublemakers with undocumented immigrants who try to live peaceful
lives.
To protest a law targeting undocumented immigrants? Sorry, this is not profiling, this is enforcing the law. The protestors didn't deny there is a problem with people illegally crossing the border? Okayyyy, isn't that the point of the law? There is a problem. There is a law. The people are breaking the law. The people who aren't show simple ID, and they are fine. What's the big problem? Lumps troublemakers with undocumented immigrants? Sorry, undocumented immigrants who are taking advantage of this country by not adhering to the law and legal regulations are nothing more than troublemakers. They are at face value breaking the law.
This issue is pretty black and white, to coin a non-racial phrase. Legal - ok. Illegal - not ok. Where's the gray area? I agree we should enforce the laws on the books, but we're not doing it. If this helps that along without hurting legal immigrants, it just makes sense to me.

Government Is Still Just Like an Overtaxing King
These days it takes very little to set me off on yet another rant against the American political class ? a proxy for governments the world over.
On occasion, I?m tempted to apologize for these rants. Not so much for the message, but for the frequency.
Unfortunately, when surveying the landscape on which our hovels rest, the king?s castle looms large in the foreground.
I am not an envious person by nature and so wouldn?t begrudge the king his fine trappings, provided they were honestly earned.
But therein lies Ye Olde Rub.
Ever more frequently these days, the drawbridge comes down and a troop of the king?s finest sallies forth to extort from me more than half of my crops, and to read new royal proclamations whose net result is to add to the daily burden of trying to provide sustenance for family and jobs for workers.
Should I protest, say, by grabbing a pitchfork and telling the soldiers to clear off my land, or refuse to fill their wagons with the best of my crops ? each leaf of which represents time and investment on my part ? they would grab me by the shoulders, drag me to the king?s dungeon, and confiscate my property.
In fact, all that has changed since the days of yore is that the king?s knights tend to no longer rape, as well as pillage.
To be fair, the annals of history contain rare instances of kind and intelligent monarchs, the sort who understand that overburdening the peasants ultimately reduces crop production, leading to unnecessary and unproductive hardship and, in time, even revolt. Though, by temperament, I resist authority of any description, I suppose I could live comfortably under the rule of a fair and benign monarch.
The problem with that notion, of course, is that the corruptive nature of power leads to the near certainty that Baldash the Not So Bad will be followed by Norbit the Nasty.
And all of a sudden, instead of politely requesting I kick in some reasonable percentage of my crops to help maintain a constabulary, courts, and maybe the highways, Norbit?s men are kicking in my doors and we?re back to ox carts full of my produce being confiscated to provide a new set of gold plates and to pay the cost of invading neighboring lands.
While some among you will protest, there is, I would contend, little difference between a degraded monarch and a degraded democracy. In the monarchy, a single leader directs his minions in their ruinous acts; in a democracy, the directions come from professional politicians, as well versed in gaining and keeping power as any royalty of a bygone era. (Sir Robert Byrd held high office in this nation for 57 years.)
Far from being benign, the nation?s leadership, masters at appealing to the self-interest of an unprincipled voter class, have led us to a perilous situation where the fields are being left unplanted.
And an increasing percentage of the citizenry is now muttering angry curses as the king?s men ride by in their shiny black limo-horses.
For a clear understanding of just how poorly ruled this country has been, look no further than the latest budget projections. In his recent article, ?America?s Impending Master Class Dictatorship,? [1] Stewart Dougherty does just that, analyzing the government?s wanton spending and penning some notable, and quotable, words on the topic.
One stark and sobering way to frame the crisis is this: if the United States government were to nationalize (in other words, steal) every penny of private wealth accumulated by America?s citizens since the nation?s founding 235 years ago, the government would remain totally bankrupt.
Recently our stalwart CEO Olivier Garret sent over an insider doc from the Republicans? Study Committee that provides talking points for candidates to use in the unending struggle for control of the castle. While I think the color of flag flapping over the battlements is at this point almost irrelevant, the document contains some interesting data points.
For instance?
?$13.5 Trillion of New Debt: The president?s budget proposes to increase the national debt from today?s level of $12.3 trillion to $25.8 trillion in FY 2020 ? an increase of $13.5 trillion or 109.8%. The amount of new debt proposed by this budget is larger than the total amount of debt accumulated by the federal government from 1789 to today (even including the $3.6 trillion of new debt over the last three years).
?$2.8 Trillion Tax Increase: The president?s budget submission increases taxes by $2.8 trillion over ten years. This includes allowing many of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts to expire at the end of this year, such as allowing the top rate (which is often paid by small businesses) to increase from 35% to 39.6%, and allowing the top capital gains tax rate to return to 20%. These tax increases would take effect in an economy that, according to many economists, will still have an unemployment rate around 10%.
?Mandatory Spending: Increases from last year?s level of $2.1 trillion to $3.4 trillion in 2020, an increase of $1.3 trillion or 59.4%. Within that amount: Medicare spending increases from $425 billion in 2009 to $953 billion in 2020 ? an increase of $528 billion or 124.2%; Social Security spending increases from $678 billion in 2009 to $1.20 trillion in 2020 ? an increase of $523 billion or 77.1%; and Medicaid spending increases from $251 billion in 2009 to $487 billion in 2020 ? an increase of $236 billion or 94.0%.
?Interest Payments on the Debt: Increases from $187 billion in FY 2009 to $840 billion in FY 2020 ? an increase of $653 billion or 349.2%.
As mentioned yesterday, the projection on interest costs is far too conservative. While the government?s always flawed projections don?t anticipate it, both Bud Conrad and Doug Casey see strongly rising interest rates as a certainty in the foreseeable future. At that point, the debt death spiral begins in earnest, and the whole charade begins to come apart.
But it won?t take soaring interest rates to bring the economy down. That?s just going to accelerate things. And, of course, the worse things get, the worse the monarchy will act ? demanding ever higher taxes and further debasing the currency, as they now certainly must.
How can you protect yourself? It really depends on where you are from.
One obvious solution would be to move to a different kingdom, one that treats you and your money better. Or that pretty much ignores you altogether. If you are from the U.S., the king?s tax collectors will follow you wherever you go ? but even so, there are modest tax advantages you can gain by expatriation. Ask your tax counsel for details.
If, on the other hand, you live in a kingdom that doesn?t tax foreign-derived income (yet), becoming a citizen of the world can offer serious advantages and is well worth considering. The situation in most of the developed kingdoms, where easy money and quick mortgages greatly exacerbated the levels of debt, is only going to get more dire as the rulers cast a wider and stronger net in the quest for more revenue.
Even if you aren?t in a position to move, however, you?ll benefit from clearly understanding one key point about the king. While he may dress well and speak in dulcet and pleasing tones, he doesn?t actually produce anything. What money he has to spend must first be taken off the productive elements of the peasantry.
But there are limits to how much he and his men can squeeze out of the citizenry. We are nearing those limits.
That means that all that is left to the monarchy is for it to issue IOUs. And given the levels of their debts and ongoing spending, lots and lots of IOUs. Those IOUs are called dollars, or pounds, or pesos, or yen, or?.
While there will be no straight line up or down for any asset class in the unsettled times we will live through, using periods of weakness to build your exposure to tangible assets ? most notably gold, whose primary and best use is as sound money ? is the only way to protect yourself from the Great Debasement that?s coming.
These days it takes very little to set me off on yet another rant against the American political class ? a proxy for governments the world over.
On occasion, I?m tempted to apologize for these rants. Not so much for the message, but for the frequency.
Unfortunately, when surveying the landscape on which our hovels rest, the king?s castle looms large in the foreground.
I am not an envious person by nature and so wouldn?t begrudge the king his fine trappings, provided they were honestly earned.
But therein lies Ye Olde Rub.
Ever more frequently these days, the drawbridge comes down and a troop of the king?s finest sallies forth to extort from me more than half of my crops, and to read new royal proclamations whose net result is to add to the daily burden of trying to provide sustenance for family and jobs for workers.
Should I protest, say, by grabbing a pitchfork and telling the soldiers to clear off my land, or refuse to fill their wagons with the best of my crops ? each leaf of which represents time and investment on my part ? they would grab me by the shoulders, drag me to the king?s dungeon, and confiscate my property.
In fact, all that has changed since the days of yore is that the king?s knights tend to no longer rape, as well as pillage.
To be fair, the annals of history contain rare instances of kind and intelligent monarchs, the sort who understand that overburdening the peasants ultimately reduces crop production, leading to unnecessary and unproductive hardship and, in time, even revolt. Though, by temperament, I resist authority of any description, I suppose I could live comfortably under the rule of a fair and benign monarch.
The problem with that notion, of course, is that the corruptive nature of power leads to the near certainty that Baldash the Not So Bad will be followed by Norbit the Nasty.
And all of a sudden, instead of politely requesting I kick in some reasonable percentage of my crops to help maintain a constabulary, courts, and maybe the highways, Norbit?s men are kicking in my doors and we?re back to ox carts full of my produce being confiscated to provide a new set of gold plates and to pay the cost of invading neighboring lands.
While some among you will protest, there is, I would contend, little difference between a degraded monarch and a degraded democracy. In the monarchy, a single leader directs his minions in their ruinous acts; in a democracy, the directions come from professional politicians, as well versed in gaining and keeping power as any royalty of a bygone era. (Sir Robert Byrd held high office in this nation for 57 years.)
Far from being benign, the nation?s leadership, masters at appealing to the self-interest of an unprincipled voter class, have led us to a perilous situation where the fields are being left unplanted.
And an increasing percentage of the citizenry is now muttering angry curses as the king?s men ride by in their shiny black limo-horses.
For a clear understanding of just how poorly ruled this country has been, look no further than the latest budget projections. In his recent article, ?America?s Impending Master Class Dictatorship,? [1] Stewart Dougherty does just that, analyzing the government?s wanton spending and penning some notable, and quotable, words on the topic.
One stark and sobering way to frame the crisis is this: if the United States government were to nationalize (in other words, steal) every penny of private wealth accumulated by America?s citizens since the nation?s founding 235 years ago, the government would remain totally bankrupt.
Recently our stalwart CEO Olivier Garret sent over an insider doc from the Republicans? Study Committee that provides talking points for candidates to use in the unending struggle for control of the castle. While I think the color of flag flapping over the battlements is at this point almost irrelevant, the document contains some interesting data points.
For instance?
?$13.5 Trillion of New Debt: The president?s budget proposes to increase the national debt from today?s level of $12.3 trillion to $25.8 trillion in FY 2020 ? an increase of $13.5 trillion or 109.8%. The amount of new debt proposed by this budget is larger than the total amount of debt accumulated by the federal government from 1789 to today (even including the $3.6 trillion of new debt over the last three years).
?$2.8 Trillion Tax Increase: The president?s budget submission increases taxes by $2.8 trillion over ten years. This includes allowing many of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts to expire at the end of this year, such as allowing the top rate (which is often paid by small businesses) to increase from 35% to 39.6%, and allowing the top capital gains tax rate to return to 20%. These tax increases would take effect in an economy that, according to many economists, will still have an unemployment rate around 10%.
?Mandatory Spending: Increases from last year?s level of $2.1 trillion to $3.4 trillion in 2020, an increase of $1.3 trillion or 59.4%. Within that amount: Medicare spending increases from $425 billion in 2009 to $953 billion in 2020 ? an increase of $528 billion or 124.2%; Social Security spending increases from $678 billion in 2009 to $1.20 trillion in 2020 ? an increase of $523 billion or 77.1%; and Medicaid spending increases from $251 billion in 2009 to $487 billion in 2020 ? an increase of $236 billion or 94.0%.
?Interest Payments on the Debt: Increases from $187 billion in FY 2009 to $840 billion in FY 2020 ? an increase of $653 billion or 349.2%.
As mentioned yesterday, the projection on interest costs is far too conservative. While the government?s always flawed projections don?t anticipate it, both Bud Conrad and Doug Casey see strongly rising interest rates as a certainty in the foreseeable future. At that point, the debt death spiral begins in earnest, and the whole charade begins to come apart.
But it won?t take soaring interest rates to bring the economy down. That?s just going to accelerate things. And, of course, the worse things get, the worse the monarchy will act ? demanding ever higher taxes and further debasing the currency, as they now certainly must.
How can you protect yourself? It really depends on where you are from.
One obvious solution would be to move to a different kingdom, one that treats you and your money better. Or that pretty much ignores you altogether. If you are from the U.S., the king?s tax collectors will follow you wherever you go ? but even so, there are modest tax advantages you can gain by expatriation. Ask your tax counsel for details.
If, on the other hand, you live in a kingdom that doesn?t tax foreign-derived income (yet), becoming a citizen of the world can offer serious advantages and is well worth considering. The situation in most of the developed kingdoms, where easy money and quick mortgages greatly exacerbated the levels of debt, is only going to get more dire as the rulers cast a wider and stronger net in the quest for more revenue.
