Haven’t We Had Enough Bailouts?

Enough bailouts? One bailout is one bailout too many. As many have pointed out it is a fallacy to blame capitalism or the free market for our economic woes because we haven’t had a free market system for about 100 years. Just because the modern day conventional wisdom (or lack thereof) is that deregulation caused our problems does not make it true.

Too many of us are  Obama-blind. We smile and drool at our new king as he reaches his hand into our pockets and steals whatever he wants for whatever purpose he wants. Obama is using the economic crisis as an opportunity to mold America into a clone of Venezuela. I certainly hope in 20 years we aren’t going to be hailing Hugo Chavez as our new Founding Father.

If you’d like to do something to oppose the bailouts and path toward nationalization then Right.Org is a great place to start.

They have a great web site where you can sign a petition in opposition to the bailouts, participate in a video competition to win your own bailout, keep up on the latest bailout related news, and grab a bailout calculator flash widget to place on your own site like the one below.

Head on over there and make everyone else understand that capitalism is not dead yet, and the free market is not the cause of our economic troubles, but the solution. Go to Right.Org now.

    If the IRS has been, by deception, stealing from me for 55 years. I will accept it whatever you want to call it, and bill them for the rest, plus interest, plus penalties then send them to jail where they belong. Their authority to tax seems to be limited to their Jurisdiction, Which is ___only___ federal property and federal money paid to federal employees, military, postal workers, etc. Private labor traded for cash remains private property and is non taxable,
    Protected bu the constitution. as long as we still have it as Supreme Law of the Land.
