Easy Weekend Post

I am going to make it nice and easy for the readers of TOA this weekend. Today you don't even need to read. Just sit back and watch (or listen).

The first video is from Learn Liberty (Learn Liberty and Learn Liberty YouTube). As a few of my lefty type friends have said before, if we just tax the rich people more, all problems (money) will be solved. The government just needs more money. (1) Everyone knows deep down inside that is not true. The Government is very good at spending all they have, no matter what that number is. Not only do they spend it all, they spend it all, plus more! This video does a good job at breaking that down. It is short, and has graphics, so you do need to watch.

Does Government Have a Revenue or Spending Problem?

This next video will take it bit more for the non rational types to accept with an open mind. It is a video of Glenn Beck speaking. Gasp! Ahhh, Devil, Tea Bagger, Mormon! Ahhh. I know, but take a breath, a nice deep breath, and read, and watch. When you are done with this video, and you still are saying he is the devil, or the Tea Party is the devil, just imagine what you just watched as a transcript. Then imagine before you read that transcript you were told it was a transcript of Barack Obama, or Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren. Would you then be like, what a great speech, what a great message, what a great leader. Well, that is how I perceive GB. His words, his deeds, his message are all positive and if they were said by anyone from the Left, they would be hailed as great and wise. So, BZ GB, keep doing what your doing, and saying what you're saying. It's 17 mins, and you don't need to actually watch it, just listening is fine.

A few quotes from around the 13 min mark. The part that really made me want to share this:

Common sense eventually kicks in.
Let's treat each other with respect.
I don't need to control your life, you don't need to control my life.
Let's live like free men.
Let's live like decent Americans.

Enjoy, or not.


(1) "We’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it."

This is not fake, not from the Onion or anything like that. This is real. From real Progressive Lefty types. I am all for fair and just and necessary taxation, but one called the Robin Hood Tax strikes right at the heart of the Progressive mindset. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. Key word STEAL. More evidence that taxation is theft. It really is.
