Mama Baksheesh

[Flanders]

Repealing the XVI Amendment is necessary if beating back democracy/socialism/communism is the goal. A constitutional amendment prohibiting a tax on income would hold parasites in check until they can figure out another way to feed at the public trough. If such an amendment is enforced the parasites could be held at bay for more than a century. The First Amendment did just that until the XVI Amendment was implemented in 1913.

If the permanent elimination of parasites feeding at the public trough is the goal then every form of coerced charity —— WITHOUT EXCEPTION —— must be constitutionally prohibited and enforced. If you are paid tax dollars when you are not necessary to the operation of limited government you are a parasite. Teachers’ unions are the biggest parasites of all because they hide behind children; so every group of parasites lacking a questionable societal shield should be easy to identify.

NOTE: The United Nations is by far the most successful charity hustle the world has ever seen. Were I speaking instead of typing I would be permanently hoarse from all of the messages I posted about those bums at the United Nations. Years ago I suggested that the UN adopt that old song Rhythm Is Our Business; most often associated with the Jimmie Lunceford Band. Only change rhythm to charity:

Charity is our business
Charity is what we sell
Charity is our business
Business sure is swell

Moving on

The next step in the evolution of forms of government must be a constitution designed to neuter a specific personality type for all time; i.e., parasites.

Logically, once the government is out of the charity business private sector charity hustlers will all but disappear when they have to scramble after voluntary contributions. Legitimate compassion will do just fine when people start paying attention to how their money is spent and how much the spenders take off the top.

Parenthetically, organized religions are basically charities. Whether or not they are hustles depends upon your point of view:

Here’s the breakdown of “The Global Religious Landscape,” based on an analysis of more than 2,500 censuses, surveys and population registers:

• 2.2 billion Christians (32 percent of the world’s population).
• 1.6 billion Muslims (23 percent).
• 1 billion Hindus (15 percent.
• 500 million Buddhists (7 percent).
• 400 million people (6 percent) practicing various folk or traditional religions, including African traditional religions, Chinese folk religions, American Indian religions and Australian aboriginal religions.

There are 14 million Jews, and an estimated 58 million people — slightly less than 1 percent of the global population – belong to other religions, including the Baha’i faith, Jainism, Sikhism, Shintoism, Taoism, Tenrikyo, Wicca and Zoroastrianism, “to mention just a few,” the study says.

I’m not sure why communism/socialism was not listed as a religion, nor how their number affects the 84 percent total. I can guess there is a lot of double-dipping going on.

As you can see, organized religions have so many devotees it’s hard to understand the reason for government charity by force. One would think that 84 percent would be enough to take care of each other.

I do understand why parasites go into government. They want to get in on the world’s longest-running business.

Many say that prostitution is the oldest profession. Frankly, I think it’s a three-way tie among hustling girls, charity hustlers, and lawyers.

Ironically, Communist regimes hate organized religions, while they strengthen charity hustlers. If socialism is about anything it is about coerced charity; hence, Communists will always be in a pickle because they must ensure obedience to the very institution they want to destroy.

Why parasites and not warmongers?

1. Parasites brought down every empire, every great nation, every culture, every society, every civilization there ever was, and they did it from within every time. Every country has been cursed with parasites, yet no army of parasites ever conquered a foreign country, or made the world a better place.

2. Self-defense. Specific legislation aimed at warmongers runs the risk of throwing out the baby with the bath water.

3. Wars are only bad when the wrong side wins. Vietnam is a classic case of the wrong side winning even though North Vietnam never won a military victory; in fact, Vietnamese Communists never won a battle.

4. No American should die in foreign lands so that others might live better. Notice I said “live better.” Democracy’s call for touchy-feely wars are fast becoming marketing strategies for products and Socialist ideology. Questions: Who are the warmongers? Wall Street sharpshooters? parasites? or both?

5. Eliminating cross-border wars will pretty much wipe out warmongers, profiteers, touchy-feely freaks hellbent on saving the world, etc., but it won’t stop governments from slaughtering their own people.

Finally, I can’t remember whether it was Bombay or Calcutta, but Mama Baksheesh had one of the best charity hustles I ever came across. Mama would approach autos stuck in traffic and hold up an infant as she pleaded “Got no mama, got no papa. Baksheesh, baksheesh” The hustle was in the fact that she ran the scam with rented babies for decades. Baksheesh means a gratuity; so I was never sure why she expected a tip.

Good lord! It just hit me. Democrats learned from Mama since they always invoke children whenever they cry baksheesh?

And Jim Yardley does not even mention UN charity hustles:

Abandon the United Nations?

Eliminate all taxation ?

That's going to be an interesting transition period as every cop, every soldier, every employee of any government anywhere is no longer on the job.


YOu see...posts like these are why some of us think LIBERTARIANS are anarchists by another name.

No taxes = No government.

To editec: Responses like yours make some of us think that people lacking reading comprehension skills are assholes forever. Where did I say eliminate all taxes? In fact, the sentence you quoted refers to the pubic trough after the tax on income is eliminated. Surely, even a dim bulb like you can understand that taxation to fund limited government will still be necessary. The trick is to deny access to the parasites and the charity hustlers. A difficult task to be sure considering all of the assholes there are in this world.

Bottom line: What does it take for this to register with lamebrains? ——THERE WAS NO TAX ON INCOME BEFORE 1913.
