[QUOTE="dutchwrangler, post: 2438337, member: 4650"] When my wife came down here from Canada a few years ago she wanted to work for the state government. I told her that if she chose to go that route we'd have a major issue in our relationship. I explained to her my philosophy on this matter in depth. As she is a Christian, I pointed out that if she decided to pursue a government job, she would be an accessory to theft and in violation of the Creator's command of "don't steal". She was torn in her desire for a comfortable, well paying job with all the benefits... or seek employment in the private sector and not be a part of the problem. She chose the private sector. She now has a job that she enjoys and which gives her satisfaction in knowing she isn't just another cog in the machine that enslaves people. I myself have no problem donating money to those in need. My wife and I have been sponsoring a child in Africa for about six years. We've given to charity, helping out those less fortunate. But in those instances, it was us who decided to help others of our own free will. No coercion or threat of force was employed against us in sharing our property with others. I may be a real *******, but at least I'm a moral *******. I can not condone theft from anybody, no matter poor or rich they may be. It is always wrong to steal. I have no illusion in changing government. It's too far gone to be changed anytime soon. A person can vote but in reality any vote I cast would be cancelled out by someone who wants socialism even if they don't know what socialism is: redistribution of property. People want free stuff. This is the carrot that leads to the eventual loss of freedom for everyone. It doesn't matter which political party is in control at any given moment, that party will carry on with the status quo and continue to steal property. In the end, the elites seek to enslave and use us as tax livestock. We are given a bit of freedom and think we are free. But the truth is that like milk cows, we are used for the benefit of the elites. As our society degenerates into takers the future looks more bleak with each passing day. There well may come a day where the pendulum swings back towards freedom, but I can guarantee it won't be in our lifetime or the lifetime your children. We can have all the arms and ammo we want... but we are outnumbered by government employees who are takers. The number of government jobs is growing while private sector jobs are shrinking. The parasites eventually will kill the tax livestock they are sucking the life out of in their quest for power and control. Maybe then, freedom will return. I have my doubts. I know I'll be dead and gone by then. It is what it is. [/QUOTE]
