Why don’t we go them one better and bring this sucker down? |
|
No taxes. No one pays any kind of tax or service fee. We advocate selling of all national assets. We demand closure of all government departments, agencies, courts, both state and federal. No laws, no regulations, nothing. We bring it down. That is what they want so let’s just get it on.
Dying of thousand cuts is no worse than just a quick stroke. If the people want a world where it is everyman against every other man then lets give it to them.
The only thing that I don’t know, and neither does any of them; what happens after it all comes down?
Of course this is a joke, I would never advocate doing away with the government. Of course it’s fine if Grover Norquest advocates that happening.

1. Oh, they want government |
|
They just want 100% of its efforts to help them and their rich friends. Read Kevin Phillips' Wealth and Democracy, if you don't believe me :)

2. I don't think the Anarchists have really thought this one through. |
|
Can we do away with SOME of the government though? There has to be something we could dump to save money.

5. The Department of Transportation. |
|
Let the airlines have at it, let the roads get built somehow. I think the Department of Transportation. The SEC do away with it, hell, its a sham anyway, why give false security to investors. The State Department, we don't need no stinking diplomatic service. DEA, now there is one we could cut. How about the USDA, they don't know the difference between a cow and cat or dog, so lets close them. Sure, but why not close them all, sell it all. Yellowstone would bring in a pretty good bundle of money.

9. Seriously though...can't we get rid of about 1/2 of the government? |
|
Dept. of Education, Dept. of Health, IRS, Federal Reserve. Pretty much any government agency not specifically authorized by the Constitution.

4. They don't really want no government |
|
They just don't want any government programs that actually help ordinary people.
The only purpose of government to these people is to ensure maximum corporate profitability.

6. Lord, how many times I've thought the same thing..let's start at the top |
|
Why doesn't Kerry propose that we just turn over the executive branch of the government to the corporation who has the most profits?? Why the hell fool around with this "democracy" farce. Then let's shut down all schools and see how far these assholes get with competing with the world. Oh the list is endless.

How do you enforce anything, because there would be no Government. Just a bunch of people trying to survive.
Oh yes, one more we can do away with, The Patent Office.
