Stop! Slow down, and consider....

"You vote yourselves salaries out of the public funds and care only for your own personal interests; hence the state limps along."
- Aristophanes
.
"The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded."
- Charles-Louis De Secondat
.
"A man's liberties are none the less aggressed upon because those who coerce him do so in the belief that he will be benefited."
- Herbert Spencer
.
Fellow citizens, in my opinion, the above quotations provide clarity as to what is transpiring currently in our country. It is my belief that most in big business and almost ALL in government have betrayed the Founding Principles. There is a reward for both good and bad. Often times the bad is reaped by those who did not willfully sow any of the evil. This is a sad fact, but true nonetheless.
.
For whatever reason, we have let this happen. We have only ourselves to blame. The people we have trusted to manage the affairs of our government, have proven themselves negligent. If we were to dig a little deeper. We would, more than likely find many of their activities have been criminal. We must apply the brakes or we will pay the price!
.
History has shown, time and again, that 'evil' never ultimately triumphs. It also shows, that the price paid for not taking heed of the TRUTH, is often grievous. We can pay whatever cost it may, in order to correct these perversions now. Or, the price that we, and our progeny, will pay will be much higher. And that price will compound with interest, DAILY.
.
There is nothing wrong with making money. Even better, if you become successful at it. That is supposed to be one of the Freedoms available to us here in this country! The problems arise, when the making of money becomes paramount to the principles that allowed one to do so to begin with.
