America needs a “New Revolution” to minimize government intrusion part 2

There has been an overwhelming response to my blog: America needs a “New Revolution” to minimize government intrusion. It was on the topic of Congressional term limits and The Fair Tax Act. If you haven’t read it yet, feel free too. But, I do appreciate everyone who has read and commented on it.

Here was an interesting comment that I had received:

Our goal of NO TAXES will not and cannot be reached without being done in incremental stages. Passage of the FairTax could be the first step towards that goal. Kevin is absolutely right about what needs to be done. With 72 current sponsors in congress, the FairTax already has great national awareness and acceptance. Although the main thoughts of the Libertarian party are just and admirable they are, for the most part, beyond the comprehension of the average citizen.

There are many different groups trying to get congress to listen to them. None to date have been as successful as the FairTax supporters. If all these groups including the Libertarian Party would unite to get the FairTax passed, this would be the first step in returning power to the people. Once the people get the FairTax passed, that same unified front could work on other things, such as term limits. The” It will never happen” mindset must be changed to “let’s get it done”. Any viable member of the Libertarian Party should know that it was a relatively small percentage of Americans that actually wanted to revolt against England. When members of congress feel their jobs are in jeopardy, then they listen to the people. If they think their jobs are safe they could care less. The Democrats and the Republicans unite against us, We The People. We must unite against them !

Our stance, meaning the Libertarian Party, sometimes reminds me of a little child trying to hold it’s breath till it gets what it wants. Let’s not hold our breath. Let’s scream until the FairTax is law. Then we’ll scream again and again till our Founding Fathers hear us.

This person is exactly right. Just think about what is going on in the message board. We are coming up with ideas and talking about it. We will have an easier time with the passage of both The Fair Tax Act and Term Limits because of the availability of resources to us. They didn’t have the internet then. We can spread the word so easily now. And we don’t have to worry about going to war with our own government like they did back then either. But like this person said in the comment, The “It will never happen” mindset must be changed to “let’s get it done”.

We are in a political “Civil War” which has divided this nation. And the Democratic and Republican parties are both to blame. But the question is this: Are we willing to keep falling under socialism, into the hands of communism and let government tell us what to do? Or are we willing to stand up for ourselves and say “NO! I WANT THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE!”?

I would also like to create a petition on the FairTax Act, Congressional term limits and voting power to vote elected officials out of office.

One other thing. I would really suggest reading another blog that I had wrote about. It’s about a country in Europe, Estonia, and it is an amazing story of a country that was under Russian Communist control and then turned itself into one of the greatest free market countries to have ever existed. The blog is called: This should be America’s future.

Kevin,

I would like to thank you for your comments and that link about Estonia. That’s something the media will never report on. They never report on the survey that Bill Archer did when he was head of the House Ways and Means Committee.
The survey was conducted among 500 European companies. One simple question was asked, ” What would you do if the U.S. installed the FairTax.” The responses where astounding. Four hundred said they would build their next plant here. The remaining one hundred said they would move their corporate headquarters here. My guess is that this would be just the tip of the iceberg as to what would follow. Our current tax code does the exact opposite. Product labels would contain the same foreign corporate names but the labels would also contain ” MADE IN THE U.S.A.”

” LET’S GET IT DONE ! “
