Principle 8: Liberty __
P8 set 1: Our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All __
- __ Our USA is the first and only government ever designed 100% for the greatest benefit of the individual citizen, WTP. Why? Because that is where 100% of the skill, intelligence, and resources exist.
- __ No human government in the history of the world has tolerated Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All in all its citizens, be it royalty, the Senātus Rōmānus, Visigoths, or priests, until our USA was created by our Founders.
- __ Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All means freedom from excessive restraint by our government, not just “freedom.”
- __ Excessive restraint means anything beyond the bare minimum for a safe, secure, and orderly society. Specifically, not all that political factions can get away with.
- __ We are adding Prosperity to Liberty as the natural fruit of Liberty, whatever it may be for everyone, not just money. A family can be “Prosperity.” As enumerated in our DOI, any satisfying pursuit can be Prosperity, especially happiness.
- __ Our Founders were highly educated people who looked back at history to Aristotle (384–322 BC) when the philosophy of government was born. Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All had only ever existed before in the ruling class.
- __ Our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All were created on one supreme principle, “We hold these truths to be self-evident . . .” Those words are the beginning of our DOI (the first paragraph is a preamble to Congress), the document that holds our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All.
- __ Our DOI must be restored to its proper place, in front of our DOI/COTUS.
- __ Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All is the HEART of our USA. Truth is the HEART of our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All. Nature’s God is the HEART of our TRUTH. These are the founding principles of our USA.
- __ Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All is an amazing gift to every citizen of our USA, paid for with the deaths of over a million souls defending against our enemies from outside.
- __ ‘We the people” (WTP) are the first three words of our DOI/COTUS, followed by ”in order to create a perfect union.” Our DOI/COTUS defines a “more perfect union,” not a contract to be parsed by lawyers to grow government.
- __ Our DOI, our DOI/COTUS, our public schools, and our entire USA belong to WTP. Our government owns nothing; it only holds assets in trust for WTP.
- __ WTP are not “everyone.” WTP are the lovers of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All that created our USA. But the Founders still created it for every citizen, including the dishonest, the lazy, the coward, the immoral, and the enemy. They are another cost of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All, and the Family is the first responder.
- __ Our USA is “great” because it was designed to empower its citizens, not its government.
- __ Our USA is the only country with a DOI that claims ordination by a “higher power” to bestow individual rights to WTP that are inalienable, never to be taken away or given away by our government.
- __ The “higher power” in our DOI has never publicly endorsed our DOI. That puts the burden on WTP to sustain it, especially on believers.
- __ It is WTP’s responsibility to maintain our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All by electing representatives that are committed to the death for WTP’s Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All. Repeat, to the death!
- __ Liberty is not free, nor is it self-sustaining, nor self-actualizing. It requires constant vigilance, oversight, and the brake pedal held on our government.
P8 set 2: Rights __
- __ WTP’s Rights are the protection against the intrusion of our governments into our lives.
- __ Those Rights were bought for WTP with blood and souls, over a million souls to date. Rights are that valuable and the measure of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All. And yet, WTP are one election away from losing our Rights to political faction-Progressivism and malfeasance.
- __ WTP can put fear in political factions today with WePEG and Liberty-Civics Populism.
- __ WTP’s Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All are defined by two kinds of Rights: Inalienable and COTUS.
- __ Our DOI says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident . . . that all men are created equal . . . that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
- __ WTP’s Right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness is held in our DOI based on a declared TRUTH, never to be infringed by our governments. Notice that the “pursuit” is the Right, not the outcome (happiness). Our political factions’ attempts to control happiness by government have destroyed WTP’s Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All.
- __ The only other Rights of WTP are “Constitutional Rights” that are enumerated in WTP’s DOI/COTUS and ratified by WTP. If it isn’t in WTP’s DOI or COTUS, it is not a Right—full stop.
- __ Rights apply to every citizen, but only DOI Rights are inalienable. WTP’s DOI/COTUS Rights can be changed, which has been accomplished several times.
- __ The universal definition of inalienable is “never to be taken away.” Webster adds, “nor given away.”
- __ Too much “pursuit of happiness” has been taken away from WTP by our governments and given away by WTP. State constitutions also must be reviewed to protect WTP’s state Rights.
- __ Our DOI/COTUS was ratified by WTP and can only be changed by WTP because WTP own it and our governments, not the reverse.
- __ Our First Amendment in the Bill of Rights gives WTP the Right “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.“
- __ There is zero Right to petition our government for a favor.
- __ That practice needs to be rejected forever today. That is the problem with political factions and how they have perverted our government so completely. They are an open door for corrupt favors.
- __ WePEG is the only source of courage for WTP to step up as a group in Liberty-Civics Populism and put the political factions on the scrap heap of history.
- __ Emotion is part of human creation. But emotion alone can be very destructive to WTP and must not be accepted by WTP in government debate. Emotion is the Achilles heel of democracy and why it is so unstable.
- __ No group, including men or women, can have its own constitutional Rights that discriminate against everyone else.
- __ Every law passed by our governments or by state referendums of WTP creates a “privilege” or a restriction to a “privilege,” never a Right. Even the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is really a privilege the political factions can overturn. [For example, driving a motor vehicle is not a Right. All states declare it a privilege. Nothing prevents WTP from amending either constitution to make driving a motor vehicle a Right for WTP. We assume WTP are satisfied with the status quo of the driving privilege although the electric car debacle may drive WTP to classify fossil fuel cars as “arms” and protected by the 2nd Amendment.]
- __ WTP must demand the Right to own a vehicle untethered from government-controlled power plugs. The political factions will fight that and reveal their true nature against WTP.
- __ The Right to practice religion is a Right for every citizen, it is not a group Right for those who practice.
- __ Groups that form to exercise religion are no different than groups that form to speak on any subject, such as climate change. Everyone can form groups; there is an enumerated Right to assemble and speak. [But only religion has an enumerated Right.]
- __ The DOI/COTUS has a process for WTP to change it if enough WTP want to. Today, citizens over 18 years of age have a right to vote. But it is not an inalienable right like Life, Liberty, and Pursuit.
- __ The point of our DOI is to illustrate that inalienable rights for everyone must come from something unchangeable that is also above everyone, especially those who seek to rule us. That is our DOI.
- __ WTP could make a new DOI and add other Rights for WTP to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
- __ The hierarchy of our government system as designed is: [The bestower of Liberty] > [WTP] > [limited Federal Government] > [limited state government] > [limited local government].
- __ Today the perverted hierarchy is; [political faction] > [Communist Manifesto] > [Representatives] > [political faction] > [we the sheep]
- __ The hierarchy should never be changed to give the government more power over WTP.
- __ In our USA, WTP agreed with the founder’s hierarchy and ratified it.
- __ Any group wanting a different ”bestower of Liberty” placed above WTP MUST state their “bestower” and then rally WTP to embrace it. Islam’s Koran would be an option. The Devil would be an option; there are several books to choose from. The Communist Manifesto/Das Kapital qualifies. The god Baal could even make a comeback. A book is not changeable once published, so a book can define a “bestower” of Rights.
- __ The political factions have changed the hierarchy to: [political factions] > [Communist Manifesto] > [Faction Representations] > [bloated federal government] > [bloated state government] > [controlled local government] > [we the sheep].
- __ WePEG with Liberty-Civics Populism is the only strategy to restore the hierarchy our Founders created: Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All. Not because they created it but because it is the only societal structure that works for WTP and not the rulers.
- __ Voting Rights are discussed in Principle 9: Election Integrity.
P8 set 3: Megaphone Rights __
- __ A major political problem today is “megaphone rights” championed by the political factions.
- __ “Megaphone rights” are created by anyone, often a Senator, yelling out loudly, “We have the right!”
- __ All that Megaphone Rights are missing is any validity or foundation whatsoever except for emotion, like children crying out, “I want that.” WTP don’t tolerate that in our parenting and we shouldn’t tolerate it in our civics.
- __ Anyone using the phrase “we have the right” as an argument is without a case. DOI/COTUS Rights require a lot of work to establish; shouting rights is an insult to millions of dead souls. Without the work, a “privilege” is the only option available. The only megaphone call for success is, “We would like the privilege . . . ”
- __ Our representatives do not have the time to advance Megaphone Rights, so any representative using that phrase anywhere but in a call for an amendment first should be voted out.
P8 set 4: Equity __
- __ Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All cannot save itself; it needs to be protected by WTP 24/7/365.
- __ Immediately after, “We hold these truths to be self-evident,” our DOI states, “that all men are created equal, . . .” (We understand “men” to mean “mankind”).
- __ “Equal” means equal opportunity and equal justice, not equal outcome, because everyone is created to be unique. That is the point of individual Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All.
- __ Equity means the opposite. It is the lowest outcome of all and must be rejected outright. One car goes 90 mph, one 60 mph, and one 30 mph. Equity is everyone going 30 mph and no more. Equity is a political faction false flag designed to weaken WTP.
- __ The power of WTP in Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All can be stronger than that of any government, but 1/3 of WTP must want it enough to die for it and attract a majority to vote for it.
- __ Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All are that much work for WTP, and it is worth it as part of a meaningful Life.
- __ WTP had the 1/3 in 1776; do WTP have you today?
- __ WTP must value Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All as the only societal system that allows the best for the most.
- __ The Progressives must drag our society to the bottom to destroy our society. That is the definition of “equity.” Please understand that.
P8 set 5: Our Political Factions __
- __ Our Founders made a horrific mistake in failing to see the damage that political factions acting outside of our DOI/COTUS could do to our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All.
- __ Had our Founders known, they would have ensured that political factions had no means to exercise power inside our government at the expense of WTP, and that is WTP’s place to start.
- __ Special interest factions also create the same problems as political factions when petitioning for favor, and all the protections against political factions will eliminate special interests as well.
- __ Factions are a First Amendment Right to speak and assemble that cannot be infringed. But no one has a right to be heard except when petitioning for a grievance or a jury of peers.
- __ Factions have zero claims to any standing inside our governments; they are not mentioned in our DOI/COTUS.
- __ Congress must eliminate all application of political faction’s power in their process rules.
- __ The House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader must be stripped of all power to do anything but maintain order. WTP elect our representatives and 100% of their loyalty must be to WTP.
- __ Whipping votes must be eliminated. WTP are the only entity with a vested interest in any bill. Political factions should never have a vested interest in any bill.
- __ Bills can be brought to the floor by simple vote, committees can be selected by seniority and leaders by committee vote, but committee leaders still only keep order with Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All the only agenda,
- __ Transparency is also mandatory and is started in P6 Set 5 below. Our Founders were very shortsighted about political factions, and WTP must take control of our government by demanding that our representatives be loyal to WTP’s Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All, efficient government, and their constituents—never to ideology or factions, especially.
- __ Our representatives must be very sensitive to their obligations to WTP and not political factions or special interests.
- __ WTP must immediately end political factions’ power by electing representatives who agree to represent their districts with WePEG. That will catapult our USA to incredible Prosperity, with our government out of the way of WTP.
- __ Then the elections are about the most qualified candidate to preserve our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All, unburdened by special interest money.
P8 set 6: Religion and Ideology __
- __ Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All are the proven Laws of Nature, not ideology.
- __ There is no difference in governing based on ideology or religion. Our Founders blocked the religious ideology, but it was the only one at the time. No ideology is acceptable, only Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All with WePEG Liberty-Civics Populism.
- __ Both ideology and religion become declarations for wielding government power for a reason other than Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All for WTP.
- __ Progressivism, communism, socialism, and fascism are ideologies for governing which put the government first in a ruling class. They are the known enemy of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All.
- __ Those ideologies which were invented from whole cloth to subjugate people by a ruling class did not exist when our DOI/COTUS was written, and therefore, no protection was considered.
- __ But the founders did know that religion as a governing principle had a history of oppression, and that is the starting point for our understanding that all ideologies are the enemy of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All.
- __ We often hear the phrase “government is a religion to the Progressives.”
- __ Let’s turn that around and redefine religion as an ideology. If ideology is our governing principle instead of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All, let’s pass laws requiring everyone to go to church on Sunday. Obviously, a government that can do anything it wants based on people’s ideologies is a government of chaos, which is exactly what the political factions are creating.
- __ Our founders studied subjugation and guarded against all known forms of it in their time, and that is our DOI/COTUS, protection against subjugation by our government.
- __ And that is why our DOI must always be included with our DOI/COTUS: our DOI is where Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All are held in the self-evident TRUTH of our DOI.
- __ The Founders did not know Progressivism, but they knew subjugation, be it from despotism, royalty, or ideas created to camouflage subjugation.
P8 set 7: Government Transparency __
- __ WTP have the RIGHT to view everything our government does in creating legislation and spending WTP’s treasure. WTP own it. Our political factions are the only ones that must operate in corrupt secrecy.
- __ Everything our government does except certain elements of national security must be done 100% in public view and made readily available to WTP.
- __ No representative may vote for a bill without a signed declaration of reading it in full.
- __ All legislation text must be posted from concept to completion on the internet, not just the final bill. No surprises are allowed.
- __ All meetings related to legislation must be public, recorded, and made available. There are no junkets, golf outings, or perks; the people’s business must be done in government offices, mostly from our representatives’ district offices.
- __ All legislation must first publish a “Notice of Intent” with the origin of the bill’s idea, the clear text constitutionality of it, why it is needed, and who benefits from it before it can be submitted to a committee or body for consideration.
- __ All legislation must be passed as a single issue.
- __ All legislation must include the budget and staff to track its effectiveness as any business would.
- __ No legislation may be voted on unless it has been made public for fourteen days; the present rule of 72 hours is not enough, especially for budget spending. The fiscal year dates never change; there is zero excuse not to have the budget ready except for political factions not wanting it finished.
- __ No legislation may be voted to make our lives better, only to make society safer and more productive.
- __ No legislation may be voted on that gives the executive branch the right to define it or finish it.
- __ No legislation may be given a name.
P8 set 8: Liberty and Capitalism __
- __ Capitalism is not a political “-ism,” it is the applied laws of economics. Capitalism is that simple.
- __ Debating capitalism is like debating water. There is no economic debate, only alternative outcomes from decisions based on economic law or in defiance thereof.
- __ Every other “-ism” violates economic law and, by definition, cannot work for WTP.
- __ Economic systems are defined by how they handle scarcity, and capitalism is the only system that can perfectly solve the scarcity problem without government interference. Please think hard about that.
- __ P40 proved that with natural gas. Natural gas was regulated at a price below average production cost, and there was little supply to buy. That is government. P40 deregulated it. The price shot way up at first, but market forces by themselves, chasing the high price followed by competition, actually brought the price below the regulated price with dramatically increased production. That is the tool the government does not have, and natural gas has been plentiful since. Until P46 recently destroyed availability. Why did he do that? Why is he allowed to?
- __ P46 proved beyond all doubt that the government cannot regulate markets for the benefit of WTP, only to control us, the goal of our enemies.
- __ Controlled economies are proven to not work for WTP, including the early days of the Pilgrims.
- __ Government has no mechanism to solve scarcity; they can only distribute it for their own purpose, not WTP’s.
- __ With every organization in the USA except one, the owners have a vested interest in its capital and resources.
- __ When our governments act independently of any vested interest in WTP’s capital, they waste an extraordinary percentage of it without a single care. That must be stopped immediately.
- __ ALL government money belongs to WTP; it makes no sense to give it to our government to give some of it back to us. Never.
- __ Capital is the engine of capitalism, and the government will always allocate capital too soon or too late, always wasting our capital because they have no vested interest except power.
- __ Only the free market can allocate capital efficiently because its owners have a vested interest.
- __ Our government’s ignorance of economic law is fatal and must be fixed immediately.
- __ Raising or lowering taxes as a party philosophy is intentional ignorance.
- __ Static budget projections are intentional ignorance.
- __ Believing government spending can help the economy is intentional ignorance.
- __ Capitalism does have one problem in the context of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All. The big dogs can and will eat the little dogs until one big dog has control.
- __ When a monopoly negatively affects our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All, the government must pass protective laws or break up the monopoly to restore them.
- __ The Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All interests of WTP must always come above the interest of harmful monopolies.
- __ Human Nature will also produce economic cheaters, both in and out of government, and this demands that WTP be able to see our money at all times—every penny.
- __ A Nation’s economy has three universal components that touch everyone and, therefore, must be managed to the lowest possible cost as a matter of Principle.
- __ Taxes – we know what happens when taxes get too high.
- __ Interest – we know what happens when interest rates get too high.
- __ Energy—To thrive, it is critical that a nation secure the lowest total cost energy sources.
- __ The cost of alternate energy sources must be driven down to the lowest cost before adoption, and as a matter of Principle, the cost of energy must NEVER be artificially driven up to the cost of an alternative.
- __ Solar and wind can never work because fossil fuel costs are being raised to solar and wind costs. That means there is no capital to develop efficient solar and wind systems, and a total collapse is the outcome of Nature’s Law. It must happen; it is the Law, and it will be catastrophic. The only good news is that total failure is becoming obvious.
P8 set 9: Government Spending __
- __ Fiscal responsibility with WTP’s hard-earned money is a tier-one duty of our representatives. WTP must be clear: waste it, and you are gone; theft will be prosecuted.
- __ Respect for where government money comes from must be established in our representatives.
- __ The total lack of respect for WTP’s money in our federal government is fatal to our USA.
- __ Efficiency needs to be the marching order for the next six years. Waste, obsolescence, duplication, and all inefficacy must be searched for and removed.
- __ The budget must be 5% less than the previous year’s for six years.
- __ The cabinet must be restored for everything to advisory status only.
- __ The federal government is not in the insurance business. If you live in natural disaster-prone states, you bear the cost in your state. That is similar to canceling the deduction for state income tax. Just do it, with one exception. The revenue lost to our federal government in local disasters defines an acceptable burden to WTP and defines a budget item to help restore the damaged economy but never to underwrite the loss. Insurance is for that.
- __ All federal insurance programs must be eliminated because they incentivize reckless behavior.
- __ Spending does not equal results and never confuse effort with results.
- __ Cost estimates for proposed legislation must be made using dynamic forecasting and GAAP accounting for ten years with zero gimmicks.
- __ The only way to minimize taxes is to minimize government spending; WTP must start shrinking it in an orderly manner.
- __ The power to tax is the power to destroy.
- __ The debate on the impact of raising or lowering taxes is symbolic of the pathology of our political process. To not know the impact of taxation on the economy in 2024 is malpractice.
- __ A citizen legislature debating “taxes up” or “taxes down” is intentional ignorance that must end.
- __ Modulating taxes to promote outcomes must end.
- __ Our governments must switch to dynamic business models created by experts, not bureaucrats.
- __ The debate to fix government economics will help us evaluate our representatives.
- __ Expanded federal power has grown the federal budget and taxes beyond all reason.
- __ We must adopt a “critical” test at every level, and every expense must be critical to our survival, not our comfort.
- __ Business has learned that the more top-heavy an organization is, the less effective it is. That is doubly true of government.
- __ There are few things WTP and state governments cannot do cheaper, faster, and better than the federal government because we cannot print money and are closer to the issue.
- __ Every serious business in the USA uses GAAP accounting and reporting. GAAP reporting is a three- dimensional look at financial health and reveals all kinds of issues not seen in two-dimensional budget reports.
- __ Millions of competent professionals understand GAAP Balance Sheets, Cash Flow, and Profit-Loss reports, which are designed to prevent misrepresenting an entity’s financial health and use of funds.
- __ Our governments must start reporting in GAAP format, including balance sheets, so that the enormous expertise WTP brings to bear can be used to hold our representatives accountable.
P8 set 10: Clear Text and Enumerated Powers __
- __ All DOI/COTUS interpretations must be with clear text only and “enumerated powers,” not parsed for imaginary interpretations.
- __ One faction has made our SCOTUS our Judas, our turncoat in WTP’s loss of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All to WTP’s federal government.
- __ Our DOI/COTUS exists to establish Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All WTP.
- __ SCOTUS is there to protect WTP from our government legislation, not help our political factions’ overreaches into our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All because they can.
- __ The concept that our SCOTUS should be impartial on legislation is absurd. The entire purpose of over a million souls dying for Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All was not to let SCOTUS just take it away. And yet that is what all levels of judges became, the tool of political factions who just sat there and watched our USA be destroyed, pretending to sit on a parsed COTUS.
- __ Social Security, abortion, and health care are all prohibited from our federal government control by their complete lack of enumeration. All should have been dead on arrival at the SCOTUS, and yet the SCOTUS twisted a pretzel of logic to issue a ruling against WTP’s Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All every time.
- __ Our DOI/COTUS is clearly written and enumerated. If legislation requires our DOI/COTUS to be parsed, the legislation needs to be sent back to the legislature until it doesn’t need parsing. [SCOTUS 1-2 are rock solid on our DOI/COTUS, 3-4 & 8 believe they are the DOI/COTUS and need to be replaced because they are partisan, not DOI/COTUS, and 5-7 are pointed in the right direction but they still need a restraint on ruling against WTP’s Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All in legislation.]
- __ SCOTUS-CJ is a disgrace to Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All and should resign. His ACA decision mandated his resignation when all he had to do was send the bill back to the legislature. The ACA’s completion by the Executive Branch should have been a huge red flag to him. [One faction wants to pack the court to gain an unconstitutional advantage when the reality is that SCOTUS 3,4 & 8 need to be replaced for violating their oath to uphold our DOI/COTUS.]
- __ WTP have some expectation that some of our representatives will be corrupt and WTP can vote them out. DOI/COTUS Article 3, Section 1, “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour.”
- __ Ruling against the Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All WTP and establishing federal law with no DOI/COTUS enumeration is easily recognizable as “bad behavior.” Enumeration is very hard to miss unless one wears blinders.
- __ What makes the ruling against WTP’s Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All so wrong is that the alternative is the bill simply goes back to WTP’s Congress for more work. No harm done at all. Doctors live with “first, do no harm,” and SCOTUS needs that rule as well.
- __ Without clear text answers, Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All prevail.
- __ The “general welfare” clause, Article 1, Section 8, is the Trojan Horse most often used against WTP. It states, “and provide for the common defense and general Welfare of the United States.” “General” and “enumerated” are total opposites. There is no chance that our Founders built a “more perfect nation” and then included a clause that could just destroy it all with generalities.
- __ All of these arguments have been made before but were ignored because political factions wanted the power, and there were no Principles to back them up, leaving WTP helpless. WePEG and Liberty-Civics Populism are the only cure.
- __ The basic Principle that the “general welfare clause” cannot be used to enumerate any program from whole cloth,” can start as a WePEG Principle.
- __ The POTUS cabinet has also become a Trojan Horse. It is easy to see adding departments to the federal government to advise and identify problems that affect our general welfare. P1 added Treasury, Secretary of State, Defense, and Attorney General.
- __ Nowhere does the Executive Branch have the right to finish legislation without a final review from Congress. Congress cannot transfer its duties to the Executive Branch, as it did with Public Law No: 111-148. That was a monumental breach of duty by our Congress. Whatever the Executive branch adds to legislation must go back to Congress for approval. Disobey, and you are gone next election.
- __ Our federal government must be gutted over the next six years.
- __ In order to ratify our DOI/COTUS, ten Rights of WTP, the “Bill of Rights,” were enumerated. The keyword here is not “Rights;” the keyword is “enumerated.” It means listed and counted—ten things our government must do with little wiggle room.
- __ Our federal government must restrain itself in seven of the ten cases. Two are for WTP to enjoy: a speedy trial and a trial by jury.
- __ The tenth was a “do not.” “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Notice “reserved to WTP” at the end.
- __ In order to delegate something, it must first be enumerated. Notice that WTP delegated the powers to our federal government in ratifying our DOI/COTUS.
- __ Our federal government must be dramatically reduced in size and cost to continue as a nation of Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All.
P8 set 11: Entitlements __
- __ LIFE is like a muscle; if we do not use it, it will atrophy and weaken.
- __ Everything our governments do for us that is a personal responsibility weakens WTP and destroys our LIFE, our USA, our states, our counties, and our cities because they are the wrong venue.
- __ Governments cannot provide financial security or health security for WTP because they do not know how. Any decent retirement fund manager could fix Social Security in an hour.
- __ It is imperative that WTP get rid of everything our federal government does for WTP because it is unconstitutional, the worst way to do it, and always the greatest reduction of our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All possible.
- __ That does not mean the states can’t do it because states must choose between priorities in the budget. Our federal government does not have that restraint. Plus, fifty states each doing something helps reveal best practices.
- __ It is imperative that WTP get rid of every program and weapon our federal government now uses against WTP.
- __ The IRS is now a weapon against WTP and must be gutted. The income tax is no longer applied uniformly and is rarely applied fairly. That is the fruit of the political factions.
- __ The camel’s nose got under the tent with a small tax on WTP’s income. Today, the IRS is hiring 87,000 new agents to come after WTP. That must be reversed now.
- __ The 16th Amendment, “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”
- __ Original DOI/COTUS Article I, Section 9, states, “No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken.” That prohibited taxing income. The 16th Amendment made it ok to tax income even though not based on state populations. It did not establish the right to tax unfairly, the overriding principle of our DOI/COTUS, because it is the overriding principle of our DOI.
- __ The unlimited power assumed by our Congress to exempt groups of individuals from taxation weaponizes the IRS against other groups of individuals, a power that appears nowhere in our founding and violates our DOI as the unequal application of the law.
- __ There are so many rules and loopholes today that the IRS does not even know what it is doing, except in coming after WTP with political bias. That has been perfected.
- __ The income tax as it exists must be changed to a flat tax with few deductions, similar to how the Social Security tax works, where everyone buys some ownership in our USA. Without ownership, there is no vested interest in our USA. Destroying WTP’s ownership is a strategy of political factions. Everyone needs to buy a share of our government.
- __ Non-profits that contribute to our society are a quasi-substitute for government taxes. Making donations deductible from income tax that benefits society should not hold up the flat tax. But helping society with tangible help must be the requirement for a deduction. Nothing should slow down the flat tax because the more income one has, the greater the tax one pays; it is self-progressing. [The real estate market cries out for a deduction, but lower taxes overall should produce a better outcome for everyone.]
- __ A consumption tax is offered as an alternative tax to confuse the issue. Such a tax would disrupt 100% of our economy, and it’s too late for such an unnecessary paradigm shift. A consumption tax is a shiny object to draw attention away from the obvious, the uniform flat tax.
- __ Social Security must also be reformed because it is economically ignorant. In 1978, the Dow Jones Average was $805. Today, it is almost $40,000, a 50x increase. Capital gain and compound interest are part of all retirement plans except one: our federal government’s Social Security.
- __ Social Security was the first major program squeezed through our SCOTUS. It was a fraud from the start; it is not a retirement plan. It is an entitlement for retired wage earners paid from the general fund dressed up like a retirement plan. No one ever looked at the weakness of the plan, and how badly it hurt the worker, no one cared. Had the tax dollars been put in an account for the worker and bought the Dow Jones average with no portfolio management needed, there is not a single 45-year work Life span where a person making only $20,000/yr., would have less than $700,000 – $1million at retirement. Every low-income family could have been lifted out of poverty in one Lifetime.
- __ When competent representatives try to fix Social Security, political factions demagogue the effort with lies. Fixing Social Security to actually work instead of bankrupting our USA is not “taking it away.”
P8 set 12: Reclaiming Our DOI/COTUS __
- __ The states in our founding were sovereign entities. They only gave up control of interstate commerce and gained national security. Even the right to execute murderers, the ultimate in violating one’s civil rights, remained with the states. The states did not buy into a Leviathan of the federal government in the founding. WTP’s individual lives are about our states, counties, and cities where we live. WTP do not live on federal property.
- __ In a clear-text reading, our federal government has zero right to do anything not expressly enumerated in our DOI/COTUS. Social Security, health care, and education have no place in our federal government. Nor does investing, loaning, or giving money to anyone or any group. That all competes with and destroys the more efficient, expert private sector.
- __ Every penny taken from WTP has a handling cost. We give a dollar to the federal government, and we get 92 cents in product to start. Federal money sent to states to be sent to counties and cities produces 72 cents in product to start. That is an enormous amount of useless waste spent in the name of power.
- __ That is also why our government cannot stimulate our economy. We lose 8% to 28% just trying.
- __ The Empire State and Sunshine State have similar populations, yet the Empire State’s budget is twice that of the Sunshine State, which has no income tax. If that is what people want, they can vote for it, but something is very wrong with the way so many people vote against their Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All. WTP must find out what is wrong.
- __ There is zero need for any new federal law for anything except to repeal existing law. It is time to shrink our federal government, not grow it.
- __ By enumerating WePEG for the first time, WTP will have a source of courage and a tool to measure the performance of our representatives.
- __ Our DOI/COTUS has a built-in means to adjust and improve Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All as needed. Ending slavery and racial discrimination and establishing voting rights are major upgrades.
- __ Prohibition and the income tax are two massive failures. Why? They have no guiding Principles.
- __ Our answer as WTP is NO to everything our governments want to do to make our lives better.
- __ Government cannot make our lives better because it has no experience, no innate skills, no intelligence, nor resources. Other topics expand on that concept.
- __ Our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All call for a massive effort at the ballot box and election process to re-establish our founding Principles and ensure that our Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All are never lost again to either a GL PSYOP or apathy.
- __ The forces against Liberty and Prosperity continue to strengthen, and WTP must also strengthen.
- __ WePEG is the only debate forum in which Liberty, Justice, and Prosperity for All can survive.
