Governments have laws against monopolies?
Do they?
Who writes the laws and legislation? Hell, the politicians do not even know what are in the bills most of the time. So who exactly is writing them?
So, we have governments write legislation that they pick and choose when they are to be enforced. Yeah, sounds to me like cronie capitalism.
Government could run easily without taxing individuals at all. Hear that? At all. They do it to control the people. Period.
Seems like the government has not done anything about the robber barrons have they?
I say it is time to put the Grand Juries of history back into the hands of the citizens again. Start having some trials on the robber barrons that your beloved government does not seem to want to stop. Then we have some trials on some government officials that want to be in the pockets of the robber barrons you speak of.
Income taxes DO NOT GO TO SUPPLYING ANYTHING. They go to the damn banks. Maybe you should open your eyes!

I guess I have to be more specific. If a law is on the books and it is not enforced, is it actually a law?
Kinda like the immigration laws and the anti monopoly laws? You know, too big to fail unless the government is either running it or their cronies are.
I said tax on individuals. I get your point, you want government to run all businesses so where else would the government get their money except the slaves.
Maybe you should understand Constitutional laws and Grand Juries in American history instead of calling for the government to enforce only the laws they decide to enforce. For your information Grand Juries are in use today, but the government took the right of the citizens to force a trial using these Grand Juries.
But I see you like tyrants and your slavemasters.
Lick their hands. You make a good slave.

After reading the article I hate to tell you but they are actually trying to restore our history to a resemblance of the truth. Not that they have it all right of course.
If you can find and read some of the our early literature you would see this. Our text books and history books have been changing for the past 75 years or so. It first started by just leaving a few things by the way side. Now some are trying to change events entirely.
Also another truth that a lot of people refuse to believe is that most of the founding fathers were Christians.
www.adherents.com...
After the building of the House of Rep. they even held church services there.
www.loc.gov...
The reason most of you will not believe this is because you were taught that this was not the case because our history have changed.
The entire reason for the separation of Church and State was not to keep religion out of the class rooms. It was meant to keep the Organised Church from taking over the state. God is not the problem in this Country...........People are.
Look at our schools now. SEX, Violence, and drugs are taking over. I blame this mostly on liberals but that is just my opinion. This is what has come from removing God from our schools. Again this is my belief no proof will be posted.

Here is the SOUTH IN A NUTSHELL:
As a whole, the populous of southern states express MUCH less emphasis on educated then the rest of the country. Church involvement/membership and sports receive top honors over education.
Guns are well accepted and even encouraged. Witnessing a young child shooting a firearm with his smiling folks at the range or in their yard is not an alarming or unusual sight. Surprisingly, with all the guns around, folks ARE NOT SHOOTING OTHERS or using them for unlawful purposes. They ARE VERY WELL BEHAVED WITH FIREARMS. I believe 100% in owning a gun for protection.
Many teen girls are pregnant in High School, and display no shame or guilt about dropping out. A significant amount of males also drop out before graduation. They believe God and Jesus will guide them though. In most cases that of course doesn't turn out well and they turn to booze and cigarettes and never evolve beyond a busted up trailer home.
Many couples by age 40 have developed into "Brady Bunch" families as through their numerous marriages and divorces they have accumulated SEVERAL children by different spouses. Finally by age 40 or 50 they consider themselves stuck with the other that they are with. DOMESTIC DISPUTES are a CONSTANT occurrence and the kids involved all share different mothers and fathers than the ones they live with.
But heck, they believe some fictional Jesus is on their side, and they will go to their grave believing this, all while NEVER improving the mess that the majority of them experience.
