One of my better arguments from August

An argument from the Google Finance boards. I have omitted irrelevant posts, cleaned up the ordering, and saved the image posted locally; all with the intent of increasing the readability. If you don’t trust my edits, you can find the original discussion at this location for as long as Google decides to keep it.

I miss seeing the ethos of Thomas Paine in my contemporaries.
They Thought They Were Free

What follows was transcribed by me from a book by Milton Mayer called They Thought They Were Free. This is one chapter that I found especially relevant, but it was not alone. I could pick up any of the ten Germans’ stories and find deep parallels to what I see happening to the United States today.

Lyrics from a Bob Dylan song…
Well, you know, lots of people complaining that there is no work
I say, “Why you say that for
When nothing you got is US made ?”
They don’t make nothing here no more
A quote from Adrian Rogers
2009-02-10 23:56 by Ian
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

I am telling you to go steal things.
Why not? You’ve already paid for it.
The Wild and Free Pigs of the Okefenokee Swamp

The allegory of the pigs has a serious moral lesson. This story is about federal money being used to bait, trap and enslave a once free and independent people.
A broad argument for ending the Fed

The name of the game is ‘bailout’. The taxpayers always lose.
The amount of damage the Fed has inflicted is incalculable.
Written for Liz. So that she might draw her own conclusions by reading my sources.

I’m waiting for the surge back to $20 (and probably higher) as the banks report their “earnings”.
