What happened next would almost certainly seal the nation’s fate. If it kept borrowing and spending as it has been doing for the last 25 years, the US would be beyond the ‘point of no return.’
A Whole New World
Only a third of the American colonists supported the Revolution. Another third opposed it. The smartest ones, perhaps, stayed out of it. They must have known it was a lost cause from the get-go.
Unwarranted Invasion
The Toleration Act of 1634 set the Maryland colony up as a refuge for Catholics. But some people are always trying to force others to worship their gods, speak their language and follow their rules.
The Idea of America
The concept contradicts what America is meant to be. America is not for a special group of people; it’s a place for people who want to be special.
Chicken Feed
By protecting markets from competition, the feds are condemning US producers to inferior output at excessive prices. The greater the protection, the less competitive the producers become.
Doesn’t Add Up
Remember the general rule: the more the feds meddle with the economy, the worse it gets. Revenues fall…real asset prices drop and opportunities for ripping off the public increase.
Fiddle, Burn, Repeat
And here we have an illustration of the general rule: The more the feds fiddle with the economy, the worse the economy gets…and the more opportunities it presents for rip-offs.
Beyond the Pale
The US has declared ‘war’ against people with no large calibre weapons, no ships, no planes, no army, no service academies, no official ranks, no tanks, no personnel carriers, no veterans’ benefits.
Massacre in Beziers
Killing shipwrecked sailors is an obvious crime…the worst kind of crime — senseless and intentionally wicked. Even in times of real war, enemy sailors are not gunned down in the water.
Bad Strategy
Saylor, still at the helm of MicroStrategy, saw a comeback opportunity. Not a new business strategy; it wasn’t a real business at all. It was a speculators’ strategy.
