Goebbels might want to edit his observation:
Goebbels was right about this:
Goebbels was wrong about this:
Thanks, in large part to the Internet, the people were not shielded from the truth. Most Americans know the climate change lies. Americans know that the number of illegal aliens in this country is closer to 30 million than it is to the 11 million lie that has been repeated over and over since 2007. The American people also know that Planned Parenthood performs abortions with tax dollars. Those three of the Left’s three biggest lies are easily maintained by media mouths. Now comes another whopper that media mouths will maintain:
Maintaining lies has become so easy it will not be long before media mouths tell us that the number of starving Americans is rising at the same nobody is unemployment.
Incidentally, nothing has changed since I posted this observation 5 years ago:
A Class Tax
Here is my question. If unemployment has truly dropped to 4.4 percent why does the cost of the welfare state continue to go up like a skyrocket?
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Originally, the XVI Amendment was seen as a class tax in that it supposedly taxed the wealthy. By the time the XVI Amendment was fully implemented it was truly a class tax —— only the working class became the victim of class warfare. Proof: The rich have gotten richer since the FDR years.
Hussein’s phoney war on the wealthy is a continuation of the war against working Americans. This is how it works:
Labor is converted to money. Taxes are paid with money. The wealthy pay their taxes with the labors of the many. Today’s wealthiest Americans who supposedly pay most of the taxes are no better than the king’s titled tax collectors in the days of European monarchies. Bottom line: Hussein’s phoney war targeting the wealthy is just a sneaky way to confiscate more of the working class’ labors as part of his redistribution schemes.
The worst of it is that tax dollars not only fund our parasite class, along with further enriching the already-wealthy tax dollars are sent to foreign countries in the form of foreign aid and development money. America’s working class receive no benefit from the income tax at home or abroad. At least those evil robber barons left Americans the choice of working for themselves in the days of boom and bust cycles; whereas, the income tax forces the working class to work for everyone except themselves.
Somewhere along the way Americans were told they were morally obligated to work for a global common good. It did not take long for American Socialists to realize they could not raise the standard of living in poor countries by taxing America’s working class; so they decided to lower the standard of living for Americans —— for the common good. The XVI Amendment is doing just that. You know it’s true when pundits moan about America’s decline for every reason under the sun except the freedoms the XVI Amendment abolished.
Before outsourcing and open borders Americans had near full employment in boom cycles. Socialists promised that their income tax would eliminate booms and busts; instead, it gave the government the authority to set unemployment levels. Today, a bust is called an economic downturn or some such nonsense, and booms are called bubbles.
Now, ask yourself if full employment in boom cycles is not better than 10 percent permanently out of work? You might also ask yourself how long will it take before the permanently unemployed goes to 15 percent, then 20 percent, and so on until slave labor is implemented as a solution to the unemployment problem the government created?
