politics and politicians Title: The Voting Booth – A Suggestion Box for Slaves If you dont vote, you cant complain is one of the most ridiculous, illogical statements Ive ever heard. The only people who rightfully can complain are those who choose not to be a part of the political process. Many people who have decided not to vote have awakened to the realization that the people they elect will be expected to initiate force against their friends, family and neighborsa criminal activityand those non-voters have chosen not to be an accessory to crime. To those who claim to be a part of the freedom movement, please understand that you shouldnt have to band with others to petition Master (government) for your freedom. The systems very nature is to control; thats what government does. So, to ask people who gravitate to positions of power and control to please not exercise power and control over you is a waste of timeactually, its dangerous and counterproductive. When you cast a vote, regardless of your intentions, you are helping to perpetuate and legitimize the system. By doing so, you are giving other peopletypically an unenlightened majoritythe opportunity to vote for things with which you disagree. Also, the votes cast may not even be the true results, but as long as masses of people show up to the polls the outcomes can be manipulated fairly easily. And what has voting gotten you, anyway? Do you have more freedom than you parents enjoyed? How about less taxation? A stronger economy? More opportunities for enterprise and prosperity? More privacy? Less government intrusion into your life? Every election cycle, we hear the people cry to Vote the rascals out! What has that done for the country? Its given us increased taxation, a destroyed economy, a worthless currency, more surveillance cameras, militarized police, Homeland Security, email and Internet monitoring, cellphone tracking, more required licenses and permits (permission from a pay-off), molestation of our kids and spouses at airports, more checkpoints, more wars, more invasions, more murder, more destruction, more angry world neighbors
and on and on. Because you voted, this is what you have receivedregardless of what you wanted. YOU are the only one who cannot complain, because you enabled it by participating! Voting doesnt ensure success, anyway, regardless of the vote total. Ive sat through meetings and watched government officials hear 95% of people in a room say No! only to watch the officials vote yes. They know youll just complain to your friends, write an angry letter to the newspaper editor (which probably wont get printed, anyway), and post an angry status update on Facebookand then youll get over it and forget, because your kids soccer game, or going clubbing, is more important than the risk involved with running these officials out of town. As a politician once stated, You can complain all you want, as long as you pay your taxes. The only way to truly bring about change is to STOP VOTING and participating in the system. Operate outside of it, as much as possible. End all support for it. When support is gone, there will be no system left to manipulate. And Libertarians should take note: Government is borne of an entitlement mentality. Even if you want a small, limited, or Constitutional government (something that has never been and never will be), you are saying that you feel entitled to some government function and you feel that others should be forced to pay for it (taxation). Sorry, but thats a socialist mindsetcertainly not freedomand it makes you no better than the other socialists (Rs & Ds) who are destroying the country. You all want to steal and spend the wealth of others; you just differ on how much, and where it should be spent. Break free from the Matrix. Think outside the box. Overcome your conditioning. Be what you want to see in others. And, please, stop helping to perpetuate a slavery system! Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread |
