Our Government has hurt us.

I posted a few years ago about how we need to stop asking for bigger government or more government solutions.

To expand on that. We have all seen how our society has changed financially from the 1950s. 

We use to more easily have a single family income and still afford a quality life. 

We have all seen more often than not, unless you can earn over 100k. Which is not most jobs, most families need a dual income just to get by.

Government has constantly increased taxes over the past 70 years. Like the story of increasing the water for the lobsters. 

We have our income taxes that go up a little year over year. Then we have our sales taxes and other taxes on products.  Then when we buy a house we have property taxes that you have to pay yearly. Those go up on the assumed worth of your property on a yearly basis. So many taxes. You are taxed over 50% of your income when you add it all up. So you make 100k a year. The government nickle and dimes you down to 50k pretty quick. 

But it's not just taxes that have hurt us. It's politicians paying games with us the American people as pawns. 

Our international policy has made us a bully world wide. Often getting us into conflicts that never needed to happen. We send foreign aid to other countries. Some say it's just money those countries are supposed to spend with American companies. But honestly most of it is just funneling tax payer dollars back into politicians pockets and the 1% that keep funding those politicians. It's a ponzi scheme. One that the American people pay into thinking we should get something back. 

The so called Elites think they have every right to control the American people. They play dirty political games. This is not just left or right or Republican and Democrats. Both play the game by invoking fear in the American people. 

They talk about how they other party wants to take something away from you or wants to force you into doing something.  They encourage us to fight with each other. They destroy hope with their drive for more power. That power destroys the American dream and the power of the individual.

Examples for both sides. Row Vs Wade and Then the great gun debates. Both make the argument that the other side wants a complete Wipeout of either abortion of guns.  There even are some people that truly say they want that. But ultimately politicians stoke the fears of their party members so that they can get elected into office. 

But just like Row vs Wade. That was never actually a law. It's was a court ruling. The politicians never made it an official law. They only used it as a scare tactic for votes.

But the American people truly are mostly middle of the road on most of these topics. Studies have actually shown we generally agree on most topics and even the ones that are the most publicly controversial.

It's generally the 1% fringe elements on both sides that politicians point out and use to scare their base. That pulls us apart as a people and causes unseccary conflict. 

So our politicians both domestically and internationally cause conflict because of their egos that search for power. 

Because of that, many social issues have been pushed and have bleed into society. Many of these have not only divided us politically. But also divided men and women. It's has hurt our relationships. Marriage has not become desirable to many. How men and women see each other is often not in a good light. We often see the other as only a prize to win or competition to beat. We have a hard time seeing each other as human. 

But that leads into another downfall and now another social issues caused by political neglect. That is the mental health issue that has become so prevalent in today's society. We all feel stressed and beaten down by one thing or another. We want to look for inspiration. But often what we find is politicians pointing fingers. Then we have had an influx of therapist that are counter productive at their jobs. They keep clients for decades on what should have been a 1 year treatment. 

Studies have shown that even with students. Since they started brining in therapist.  Suicide rates have gone up. That more shows a failed system than anything else. 

We are not a happier nation since we started depending on therapy. 

All this leads to the point that bigger government and more government "fixes" just causes pain and poverty. 

Yes we need government for basic things. But beyond basics, government is just a leach on society. It enables the have nots to get rich and have un earned power. It's allows ego to run things and not logic. It leads us down bad paths. 

My predictions for 2024

So I believe 2024 with be a 2020 version  2.0. Here is why. 2024 is another presidential election year. I have already started to see the censorship on social media on the rise. I have already seen the Democrats rigging the Democrat elections for president to favor Biden. We have seen all the Government Legal stuff with Trump.  

So my predictions for 2024.

 First it will be an artificially inflated economy.  The Fed will lower rates. If nothing else it will be by pressure from the Democrats and Biden administration. 

 The reason for this is because, no matter how much you push global warming,  Healthcare, Racial justice. The voters will always vote by their pocket books. Since the Economy is lagging, it needs a boost or to look like a boost. 

So expect interest rates to lower and the stock market to rise. This will mostly help the rich get richer. But if you are smart and able, you can take advantage of this artifical boost for the long run. 

Second you are going to see another push for Covid or something to point at people not willing to get Vaccinated. 

Why? Because when the public is scared they are easy to control. They will vote by fear and emotions and not based off the facts that they know.

Third, you are going to see a massive resurgence of Banning and warnings, on social Media. You will see a lot of post taken down or have warning put on them. It will say sensitive information or false information. Always with the "independent fact checkers"

Why? This is how the Federal government gets around government censorship. It goes to the public systems and "asks" them to censor people and topics they don't want seen. It's still highly illegal for them to do, but harder to prove in court. 

Fourth, you will see the Court system challenged. Both the left and right have diffrent views of how things are. The court should not be bias in this. We have seen over the years both sides push the court system to far and the court system is divided, depending on which state you are in. But both sides are guilty.  Although depending on which side you support. You might say the other side is more corrupt. 

Fifth, their will be a major story of a black person being attacked by a white person. This will be so that BLM can come onto the scene. 

The BLM group does not have much to do with society except for gathering funds during an election year. They also are good at pushing hate between the black and white communities. Stoking division all around the country. This once again bring us to emotional voting over fact based voting. 

Sixth, You will see conservative states push for Abortion bans. Some might be basic while others will be all out bans. 

This is for conservatives gathering the troops. 

Seventh, School shootings and gun control will be a massive topic. We might even see a mass shooting all over the news sometime in the late spring to early summer. 

This once again allows for emotional voting and not fact based voting. It will be in your face on both national news and on social media. They might even encourage a profile picture change if BLM has not already taken that spot. 

Gun control is used as a very divisive topic and fear tactics will be used by both sides. 

Eight, LGBTQ+ also wants in on thsi deal. So they will be part of the mass shootings crowd , physically attacked crowd, bullied crowd and ofcouse the Mental Health crowd. 

Why? Because in our current society. Playing the victim is a major power play. It get the LGBTQ community leaders a lot of money, attention and power. 

The Femanist will also use many of the same tactics to gain money and power. 

Ninth, You could see a political assassination sometime mid summer. Although who, will be difficult to say. Also if they are successful is another thing in question.  

Why? Our nation is divided and already very emotional.  2024 the country will be very emotional and scared. 

Tenth. Lots of riots, all the groups will be rioting all over, from spring to fall and up until the elections. 

Why? Because this makes good television and news cycles, keeps people feeling involved and emotional. It's also how dissenters are found. Those that are not willing to go the length. 

But it also allows for those battles without an actual "Civil war". But you will see people servery injured to murdered on the streets during that time. You might even see police attacked. 

Eleventh: protesting the police and calls to Defund the police. This will come from the past few years, but also anything that can be weponized in 2024. Any police mistake will be ran with and weponized.  

Why? This allows for chaos to happen. To question and fight against the system. It easily allows those willing to listen to justify horrible actions that they would not do otherwise. 

Twelfth,  you will see a resurgence of the proud boys or another "Far Right" group. This will come from mostly angry men on the right, and also the left that will love to take one man's opinion and say it's everyone that does not want to vote for Democrats.  

Why? Because this is how it will go. People will start to get fed up with the chaos of 2024. They will believe they also need to go into an extreme. They will find like minded people. 

Thirteenth, the FBI and other Federal groups will be caught in many illegal actions. Things like finding "Far Right groups" and encouraging them to go further. They will be caught talking to many of the social media companies. They will be caught falsifying papers and hiding information about political individuals.  

Why? Because they have been doing this for decades. They have justified it as it helps them get bigger budgets and also gives them more power to do the things they believe they should have a right to. 

Fourteenth.  Ukraine and Isreal conflicts will get drastically worse, or atleast be reported that way. You will see a larger division here in the states. You will see many Jewish people attacked here in the United States.

Once again this is for the emotional vote and not the logical one. Both sides will use these conflicts to push their agendas. Both sides will stoke the flames of hate. 

It does not matter if all these are right or not. But buckle up for a wild ride in 2024

Income tax is a lie to enslave the middle class and poor.

Income tax was made permanent in the early 1900s. I believe 1913. Before that it was to fund the Civil War and was only ment to be temporary.  

But then people with Marxist influence started saying a permanent income tax "Would make the Rich pay their fair share". 

So that is the lie we have been told for over 100 years. With income taxes ever rising and more market crashes than the 200 years before. 

But the truly rich are not part of the income tax bracket. They are part of the capital gains tax system which is a much lower percentage. 

Income tax has been used as an excuse by a poorly ran federal government to create national debt. Something they are not held accountable for. The American people are held accountable for the National debt. 

Then in the 70s they removed us from the gold standard. This allowed them to print more and more money. As of the past 2 decades we have waged wars with Tax money and also printed a lot of money. All making the Fiat money(American Dollar) worth less and less. That also made inflation go higher.

Now you also have a property tax. This also mean if you buy and pay off your house it's never really yours. You are only renting it from the federal government.  They can take it at any time.

 The ever raising prices of the housing market caused by inflation makes it so your property taxes go up every year. 

Eventually no one will be able to sustain a residence and the government will swoop in and own everything.  

We have made ourselves slaves to the system. We currently sit in a socialist country. It does not matter if we want to believe it or not. The government can and will ruin most people given the chance. 

Truly outright socialist countries usually max out at 50 years before they crumble. So depending on when we cross or did cross that line. I don't know if we truly have that much time left. 

Art of asking questions

   I come across many people that are more pushing an agenda. But when they can't take their arguments further they use the "I was just asking a question" come back. 

   So the art of asking questions needs to be more clearly defined. First: question are always asking for clarification and understanding. They should never be based off your own personal assumptions, understanding, or agenda.

   Second: If the question is based off your own personal assumptions or other things. You then need to next move to clarification questions to understand what the other person is saying.  A good way to do that is to use the last few words they said or wrote down and put it as a question.  

  Third. Always ask a few questions to make sure you understood what the other person was saying. Then let them clarify if necessary.  

This is also a good way to build trust with someone. 

Never go into something with an agenda. Every negotiation will flow better if you make discovery questions first. 

Make the person feel heard. 

2024 is going to break us.

So McCarthy is just ousted. Trump in court today. Biden having impeachment hearings. Hunter Biden also in court. I am sure many many other things going on this week.

I hope I am wrong. But I believe we are just seeing the warm ups for 2024. 

2024 is an election year as was 2020. What do you remember of 2020. I remember a lot of crap going on.

I see more possible lockdowns blamed on Covid. I see bigger issues with Russia and China. The Ukraine war going into chaos.

I see if you don't comply with lockdowns you will be arrested. I see people's names being put on lists, either for the FBI or some other powerful group. I see the possibility of Nazi like interment camps. 

Not that all, or any of it will happen. But those that were called conspiracy theorists back in 2020 for just saying Masks did not work. Or refusing to take the vaccine. Many of them were attacked or had their lives ruined by the federal government policies. Democrat run cities arrested people for being in parks during the lockdowns.  Actually the safest place to be, out in the open air and sun. 

So prepare for a crazy or more appropriate word, insane 2024

prepare for many scare Tactics in 2024

2024 is going to be a crazy year, and the Democrats are gearing up for the fear mongering early. It's just the way they can have you watch one hand and ignore the other. 

They have already rigged the DNC election with blocking RFK. He can't campaign in some states. He has been denied secret service. Even though he has shown multiple threats against him. 

The DNC did the same election rigging to Bernie sanders for the past two elections. 

So we already know the DNC Riggs, its own elections.  

The Democrats do rigg primary elections, both presidential and state. 

With the many indictments against Trump the past year. They are actively working to make it impossible for him to run. They are even making up rules on the spot to try to stop him from running. So while they try to call Trump childish, thier actions of constantly changing the rules for their own benefit is very childish behavior.  

Now they are craying Russia Russia Russia. It is the start to a scare tactic they use. 

They will use their Ukraine war to pass along propaganda to us. They have kept the Ukraine war going just to have a reason to talk about it and blame Republicans when ever possible. But also put those connections to Russia interference always looming.

I believe in late 2024 you will see the Ukraine war resolved so that Biden can claim victory. It will look good to the voters and will be desined to make Biden look competent and strong. 

Nothing when it comes to the Democrats is reality right now. They are very much working to design your reality,  and their reality will lead to your oppression and mass poverty in 2025 if they keep power. 

So prepare for a crazy 2024. 

Government is our problem

So many people complaining about where the money is. But asking government to take a bigger roll in everything.  

Problem is the bigger government gets the bigger our problems get. 

We all have seen the stories. Some big company gets into financial struggle.  Suddenly the government comes in and pays off their debts.  

Well problem is, that is tax money, the people's money. 

Then you have people saying the government should help the people. Things like socialism.  But that always throughout history has ended in poverty and government collapse.  

What we really need is just a government that is basically a referee. They only give us the rules and make sure we play nice together.  They take a very limited role in the game. They do not give one side extra points if they fall behind.

Small government. Designed to help society grow and flourish. Where we the people make sure everyone is taken care of. That is why we have charities.  They are not designed to make people rich. But to help those in need. 

When government gets out of the way and just gives us basic rules to follow, society thrives. 

When government gets big. Society gets selfish. We get division and poverty. Poverty increases crime rates. When government gets big new crimes are made avaliable to break and people will break them. 

Our tax system is designed to keep us in poverty. Income taxes are an unfair tax on the people. They take a large chunk of your income to make government waste. 

Social security has proven its self to be insufficient and very poorly ran. Always being told there is not enough money. All this done by government. 

On top of that. Why do we have to fill out or taxes every year? Because government made a deal with some very big companies that make billions every year off us paying taxes. 

The system has been broken by the very people we voted in. The system as been broken by our votes.
