We Are Forced To Pay Expenses For Other Men's Children
By Dan Holman The Covenant News ~ December 10, 2008
“Making the ephah small and the shekel large, Falsifying the scales by deceit, That we may buy the poor for silver, And the needy for a pair of sandals" -- Amos 8:6
A Philadelphia man was forced to pay more than $12,000 in child support for another man's daughter; he spent two years in jail for falling behind on payments. This sort of injustice is not uncommon. We the People are forced to pay for bail outs of a corrupt banking system which steals our savings by inflating our money.
Most countries with monarchs have but one Royal Family; America has many. We are compelled to support the opulent lifestyles of the Kennedys, the Clintons, the Bushs, the Cheneys, the Obamas, and many, many more.
535 sitting congressmen and senators, and many more retired, vote themselves lavish lifetime salaries. We must also support their staff, and myriads of state, county, and city officials. We not only pay their salaries, but we also pay the hidden costs of lobbyists who receive favoritism enacted into law. Bribes from drug companies result in mandatory vaccines or relaxed standards from the Food and Drug Administration. Campaign “donations” from the auto and banking industries are a healthy investment for everyone but the taxpayer.
As we struggle to pay multiple taxes, our meager savings is pillaged by inflation; our wages are diminished by rising costs. Our generation has added the word “trillion” to its vocabulary. A trillion dollars is incomprehensible as a million is also incompressible. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes to an hour, and 24 hours to a day. A million in seconds is 13 days! Let that sink in for a while.
A billion in seconds is 31 years. A trillion in seconds is 31,688 years! It seems no one gives a thought to where this “money” is coming from. What we call “money” is really not money at all, it is promissory notes. It is becoming increasingly obvious to us and to the world, we are making promises we cannot keep.
Every year we designate trillions of dollars on wasteful government spending to “stimulate” the economy. Every year we give hundreds of millions of our tax dollars to Planned Parenthood to control “unwanted pregnancies.” Not wishing to put itself out of business, Planned Parenthood teaches school children as young as 5 to have “safe sex.” School access and input to school curriculum guarantees Planned Parenthood a steady stream of customers. Planned Parenthood creates the problem and then creates the solution! For if there is no disaster, there can be no disaster relief! Planned Parenthood uses part of its budget to pay lobbyists to exact yet more funding!
We are compelled to pay for an educational system which “eats out our substance, and corrupts our manner.” The world’s costliest schools and colleges produce the world’s dumbest, sexually active students.
For years we ignored the sirens who warned us about wasteful government spending. As we receive our monthly financial statements we are stunned to learn our hard-earned savings are melting away! We shall not feel the full weight of this until our savings is completely gone. Meanwhile we are watching a robbery in progress!
Like the man forced to support a child not his own; we are billed for the spending spree of an out-of-control congress.
Ronald Reagan summed up government's view of the economy with a few short phrases: “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
25 years later we add “if it is bankrupt, bail it out!” This latest precedent of government bailouts is the final nail in our financial coffin. Like the funding of Planned Parenthood, it encourages yet more bad behavior.
