Our Facist Minded Government

Nancy Pelosi should go to jail for treason.

 

I guess I better start saving $$. Looks like I'll have some fines to pay.

 

Which clause of the Constitution will it violate?

 

Wrong question.

What clause gives the Federal Gov't the authority to mandate a consumer purchase ?

 

The power to compel individuals to purchase goods and services against their will is not specifically delegated to the federal government. It violates the 10th Amendment.

IP is correct

Revmitchell finally got something right. The traditional economic/political definition of "fascism" is a government that controls business for the mutual benefit of the government and big business . . . something like that.

If anyone doubts that the government is actively transferring assets from the working class to big business, please explain where the first 2 trillion went.

 

Wrong.

Government is transferring assets from all workers and businesses to itself.

Example: GM--Government Motors. (at least the part they didn't give to organized crime...er, the UAW).

 

>Government is transferring assets from all workers and businesses to itself.

Someone always owns the government and it is seldom the serfs. That's why nothing changes when ruling party changes. Both parties are owned by the same companies who are owned by the same people.

Company CEOs sit on each other's boards and vote each other raises. 50 years ago most company stock was owned by individual people. Now days most company stock is owned by funds, insurance companies, and banks, all controlled by the same people. Half the stock market trades are made by computers. Who votes the share?

My IRA is run by a "fixed fee" guy and I don't read any of the financial stuff the companies are required to send. I throw the proxies away. As long as he is beating the market I don't care what my guy buys or sells. All I know is when everyone I know lost at least 30%, I only lost 20%. <G>

 

What is this strange document? Do our elected "representatives" know about this? It seems like it could be a good model for a free people to use to limit the powers of their government. We really should try to change to this model some day!

 

"The devil is in the details." <G>

For example, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Our fastest growing religion requires a public call to prayer 5 times a day. The people who wrote the Constitution never considered bull horns and electrical amplification. An electronic call to prayer is no more offensive than a street preacher with a bull horn. Both need to be banned for public health reasons (driving people crazy, causing hearing loss), thus nullifying the free exercise of religion.

 

I guess it would be asking too much for billwald to post on topic...
