China Will Be Freer Than The United States One Day
The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses -- even against their will -- for private economic development.
Pack it in, honey. Because now that the Supremes have repealed the 5th Amendment, the last sentence of which says "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation" it is now official that we little'uns, who had thought that we lived in a nation where we could live and work and strive to make our lives better for our own sakes and our loved ones, better think again. What were you thinking! We live for the state, under the state, belonging to the state and at the mercy of the state, in every little thing we do. They own us.
And whether this affects you directly, right now or not, if you believed in the idea that living in America lent you a special status, where you live in the "land of the free and the home of the brave", you better disabuse yourself of that nonsense right now. Just get it. You are state property.
And whatever you do to make life bearable and livable and worth your while is as about as good as reading the Constitution of The United States and believing that those words retain some meaning. You live at the sufferance of the people who run the state. They run you.
Work hard, you dumb ass. Then buy a home for your family. Your dream home, where you return each day from the horrors of the world to revive and replenish your body and spirit, belongs to the government. And you reside there at their pleasure.
And when the day comes that some big deal developer convinces the city that your house would be better suited as a businessman's hotel or another greasy shopping center, AND that the city will make out beau coups with the increase in taxes, say goodbye to your little house, where you thought you were safe from the world and its monsters. We have met the enemy...
The Chinese are watching us. And out of the billion or so souls there, many are hanging on to the wild ride of free markets that is capturing that nation. As I have said in a previous post, they will get over the hump of limitations on free expression and other liberties we still hold dear, but no longer possess.
China will pass the United States, in this century, as a true capitalist powerhouse, with more individual freedom than we have here.
It would be easy to say this is the beginning of our nation's giving up, drip by drip, as in "Chinese Water Torture" of old. But this is not the beginning. This is about the end folks.
When you get locked out of your house, you'll know what I mean.
