But what IS Caesar's?

Myanmar, snd now China. Who will be the next recipient of the "Millions from America" program?
Studying our Constitution as much as I can, I've still failed to find the place where it says we're supposed to police and take care of everyone else on this planet, although I suppose we SHOULD, seeing as how the rest of the world has beat a path to our door to help us in OUR times of need, such as 9/11, Katrina and the like. You remember all the help we've gotten from all the nations WE'VE helped over the decades, don't you? Don't you remember that?
China already OWNS most of America's economy and a lot of our land, so what the heck....we might as well give them some more. It's only our tax dollars...........which aren't supposed to be wrung from us in the first place.
"Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's." But what do we do when it isn't? It's bad enough being robbed, but when it's not even for US, that really IS criminal. They take money from us they aren't entitled to, spend it like "chump change,", then turn around and take MORE when they run out.
Not that our Constitution means anything anymore to our elected officials, but I've discovered a few things that really should be shared:
Our tax system ws originally set up on a tariff system, basically paying taxes on what we buy, anything beyond that was to be by "apportionment" as per area population.
"The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation"...........this is called an "enabling clause" which the 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 18th and other amendments have....but the SIXTEENTH does not. The 16th incidently, is the Amendment of direct taxation. In a nutshell, if the Constitution does not specifically say the Congress can do something, it cannot do that thing.
What we know as "WITHOLDING" today, began life as the "Victory Tax" of World War II. Sure...most people know that. But what most people DON'T know, is that the Victory Tax was REPEALED on the 29th of May, 1944. But they kept taking the money anyway and it has grown by leaps and bounds to what we have today.
Our tax dollars taken by the IRS (which incidently couldn't pass its OWN audit by the GAO in 1992), is sent to the "Federal Reserve Bank," which is no more "Federal" than Federal Express. Fact is, the FRB is made up of foerign bankers and private concerns that range from the Rothchilds of England to David Rockefeller, with banks of Amsterdam, France, Germany and Italy in-between.
You would not believe the things our tax money is used for. We bolster other nations' economies while our own is flushed away. Our troops are NOT to be used for the concerns of other countries, and ANY war MUST be declared by Congress. More American lives, and tax dollars.
When a politician takes the Oath of Office, he swears to PROTECT and DEFEND our Constitution. Any attempt to skirt around it is a direct violation of the oath, and SHOULD be an impeachable offense, which would make every Presidential candidate (except Ron Paul), already in breach of oaths they have already taken.
Incidently, if you ever get the chance or think about it, ask any IRS agent or H&R Block Representative to show you the statute that says you're required to even FILE a return in the first place. They CANNOT, because there ISN'T any.
Illegally, we're still forced to endure this extortion or face the consequences.....but only because enough Americans aren't fully in tune to what's happening....as of yet, anyway, but that's in the process of changing too.
It's ironic when you think about it. One of the main reasons we ran the British out of here to begin with..............and 230 years later, we're ONCE AGAIN being taxed out of existence......this time to pay for an illegal war, provide care for illegal aliens, and cater to everyone else's needs, while our own nation and its freedoms go under.
Our founding fathers would be proud to know what we've done with what they died for. They really would. And if Obama gets into the White House, what's the FIRST thing he's going to raise? Give ya three guesses and the first two don't count!
Vote for Ron Paul. Take the time to check his record before we do something DISASTEROUS this year. Look where he stands, how he's voted. He is the only candidate who can straighten this mess out.
If it comes down to McCain and Obama, we're done. We're done, and only another "1776" will pull us out.
Render unto Caesar what is Caeser's........but the rest of it is OURS, and so is our country, and we need to have it back.
You know, I suppose what we MIGHT do, is get Sally Struthers to make one of those tearful commercials showing the poverty in OUR country and air them overseas......"and when you see the homeless, the orphans, the jobless, people losing their homes and farms, their very country losing their sovereignty........you'll know what to do."
If we're not gonna get off our duffs and take America BACK from the politically corrupt, we shouldn't be too proud to accept a little "foreign aid" ourselves. And you just KNOW the world will turn around and help us after all we;ve done for them, right?.................NOT!
Ron Paul. Probably the only REAL American in Washington D.C. Comments Showing most recent comments first [Show in chronological order instead] |

Hang in there Carlo....just help get the word out to vote for Ron Paul. This thing ain't over. McCain does NOT have anythng "locked up" at this point. Dr Paul's campaign has been rolling to the point of upset in several states including THIS one.
Americans are getting tired of "business as usual." A concentrated effort by enough Patriots would give the country BACK to the people, as our forefathers set it up to begin with. We need only to kick in the door, and the entire rotten edifice will crumble down around it.
Too bad it's taking a tumor to finally do what the voters of Massachusetts have been too stupid to do these past decades. Ted Kennedy's departure from the Senate will be one of the best things that has ever happened for America, her Constitution and her values.
For the record, I do NOT rejoice at Ted's illness.........but if we end up under a total Democrat dictatorship next term, at least HE won't be a part of it. Things will be more corrupt than ever as it is.
Ron Paul is the only candidate QUALIFIED to be President, if for no other reason, by virtue of being the ONLY one NOT in breach of his oath of his current office.
Mike,
Thank you for speaking the truth. I have been in Iraq (US Navy officer JGJ) and got a medical discharged last year due to asthma problems (which I acquired during service). Even though it is not recommended for us to speak politics, specially in front of enlisted personnel, you would be surprised to see how many of us Naval Officers/enlisted and Marines understand Liberty and what our Constitution is (a written document drafted by our founding fathers to restrict the unbalanced gain of power by the government over We The People). The troops overall are demoralized because one way or the other they are becoming more politically educated and can see the corruption in Washington, this is why most of us support Dr. Paul.
This war needs to end NOW, it is unconstitutional and flat out illegal, where We are fighting for the tyrant against the Iraq people, their freedom and sovereignty. We are not fighting terrorists but regular citizens who have been traumatized by this invasion and are only defending their home from the evil Empirical American Machine.
I did not sign for this, but to defend our beloved Constitution. I believe we are experiencing the first stage of the Second American Revolution, this first stage being (awakening). Believe me, we will not earn our country back by civil disobedience only, we will earn our Liberty and Freedom with blood and bullets, the only way it's always been earned.
With these thoughts I Thank you again for your honesty and the educational work you are doing,
USN Carlo Ciarelli LJG
