Death by Parasites
A few years ago, Proposition 63 was passed here in California. It is a new 1% tax on millionaires to pay for mental health services. This is a classic example of what the Revolution is about. Liberals say “it’s only one percent. Millionaires can afford that.” Besides being morally wrong to steal, it is the insidiousness that is so dangerous. Why would it be wrong to take 25%, but not 1%? Why are millionaires suddenly responsible to take care of homeless people?
What happens when 99 more “do-good” liberals decide to have the millionaires fund their pet projects? They only need 1% more to fund more AIDS research, 1% to end poverty, 1% more to fund abortions, 1% to search for life in space, 1% more for free school lunches, 1% to give out free vegetarian turkeys at Thanksgiving…
If the United States ever comes to an end, this is how it is going to happen. It won’t be a dramatic, crashing end. It will be 1% – a slow death due to parasites. As a teenager, I worked at a veterinary hospital and saw abandoned dogs brought in that were covered with parasites. Ticks had sucked all the life out of the poor animals. They didn’t have the strength to eat or even stand. Their life had been drained by the tape worms that lived in their intestines. A pathetic way for a dog or a country to die.
As a nation we are now peppered with parasites and with this last Proposition, we just infected ourselves with another one. Our job as radicals is to convince people that we need to remove every parasite and make sure that we do not become infested, or else we will be buried with the ticks, fleas, tapeworms, roundworms and heartworms that will bring us down.
Don’t think that the parasites will stop with the millionaires. When the big dogs drop over dead, the fleas will jump over to the next body. How much do you make? It’s a good cause, you know. And they will have a long list of good causes that you will support whether you want to or not.
Anytime the government gives, it has first stolen, thus suppressing someone’s freedom. It is no different than a thug breaking into your home, tying you up, gagging you, ransacking the house and then leaving with the comforting words “I only took 1%.”
