We the People Anthem USA
"How bad do things have to get before you do something? Do they have to take away all your property? Do they have to license every activity that you want to engage in? Do they have to start throwing you on cattle cars before you say “now wait a minute, I don’t think this is a good idea.” How long is it going to be before you finally resist and say “No, I will not comply. Period!” Ask yourself now because sooner or later you are going to come to that line, and when they cross it, you’re going to say well now cross this line; ok now cross that line; ok now cross this line. Pretty soon you’re in a corner. Sooner or later you’ve got to stand your ground whether anybody else does or not. That is what liberty is all about."
-- Michael Badnarik
The Tea Parties are a good idea, but they are mostly a single issue political force, and animated at election time. But who's listening and who cares? Come November 2010 the slate has again already been drawn, and we the people lose (you lose). Why? because it will be the same old, same old -status quo ante- just different faces. With property rights extinguished even more for the citizens -we the people.
The people have only one clear chance to win the war of ideas, and that is for a game changer, a bottom-up approach that will catch all politicians off guard -while they're serving you more tea and crumpets.
"Pass Capital Homesteading Now" it is a revolutionary idea! It allocates to every citizen their rightful due, it amplifies economic justice and economic democracy. It's designed after Lincoln's Homestead Act of 1862. And will do with capital what Lincoln did with raw land, put it into productive use for the homesteaders to own. You do remember that thing that this nation was founded upon, -we the people, with the means of acquiring and possessing property (The Virginia Declarations of Rights. 1776 June)?
Well! does anybody in the Tea party movement remember George Mason, or Adam Smith? We the people (a slower repeat).. with the means of acquiring and possessing property? At the end of that day in November 2010 and 2012, Economic Power will again trump Political Power. (period) The only just question is; Who will hold the Economic Power? Who will wield the Moral Ax?
The scales of justice are slanted to the power of those who own (Sir, What do you have to put on that scale?). We don't mean to suggest, to take from those that have, but instead to lift the barriers of expanded capital ownership. Capital Homesteading Accounts do just that, they lift the barriers for every Citizen, economically, politically and morally.
In the battle of ideas we the people have less than five minutes to articulate the message for all to hear, and all to see; Who owns America, should own we the people. That is the political power paradigm, you can not fight it alone and win.
The solution; become the owners.
Oh sure there will still be those that say; "just give us back a little of what we pay in" -or- "Master Sir, Oh please, may we keep a little more for our families in taxes and we will vote for you", by enacting the FairTax. When are we the people going to wake up? We built this great country and now it is on the Auction block of 'slavery', for the highest bidder. That sounds outrageous, why would you suggest that? Because nobody is able and willing to pay off that huge debt we the people have accumulated. But you just keep on drinking that tea and eating those crumpets.
The thing that most every cattle farmer (homesteader) in Iowa is well aware of - and throughout man's livestock development history- is that taxes are a byproduct of capital/cattle ownership not its creation. Let me repeat that for the simple minded; "Taxes is the 'dung' for which cattle create and it comes at you every day. The political minded love to play in it and more important is that taxes do not create broad based capital ownership." Or if you like or rather I could suggest the story of the homesteader that had a Goose which laid Golden eggs.
We would all be well advised that if we (TEA Parties) take the easy route of proclaiming tax policy for justice, and abandoned economic principles and ownership, than we the people will soon realize that the banks and corporations that huddle around politicians will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fore fathers conquered. Will that be the last line drawn? Will the people finally be in a corner? Will they than awaken from a bad dream, by the cries of their posterity, for freedom. By substituting tax policy for sound economic principles (economic justice), history will repeat itself again, and again, and again, until that fateful day of collapse. Every Citizen an Owner is an American imperative, and as common as a homesteaders apple pie.
The tragedy for America is that there is ready at hand a way out of the mire--a Just Third Way an it is not a 'deus ex machina' but a course that was first laid out in Pope Leo XIII's encyclical, Rerum Novarum in 1891, and affirmed again 40 years later in Quadragesimo Anno (1931) and underscored by Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Centesimus Annus in 1991 marking the 100th anniversary of Rerum Novarum. And is alive and well at the Center for Economic and Social Justice, authors and signers of the 'Declaration of Monetary Justice.'
In Rerum Novrum (of new things), Leo XIII laid out catholic (universal) social principles dealing with capital and labor and in the course of his letter supported the rights of labor to form unions, rejected communism and unrestricted capitalism all the while maintaining the fundamental right to private property , just like George Mason and 'The Virginia Declaration of Rights'.
Interestingly, in paragraph 20 he exhorted we the people;
"...to have nothing to do with men of evil principles, who work upon the people with artful promises of great results, and excite foolish hopes which usually end in useless regrets and grievous loss."
Does this sound familiar? Does any particular politicians, past or present, come to mind or parties? Adolf Hitler promised bread. What will be the new promises of campaign 2012? Perhaps 'guaranteed happiness' or 'vote for me and I will set you free'. Try eating that, or taking it to the bank! Perhaps, just perhaps a few supports of the FairTax will be elected, and lets us just say that the Fair Tax is enacted, will you than go back to sleep and what have we the people gained? Is that then justice?
With unmarked graves throughout the globe holding the bones of millions who attest to the utter failure and lies of communism and the living-dead today who wander through life listlessly under socialist systems, now is the moment, now is the time for the principles set out long ago in Rerum Novarum, and 'The Virginia Declaration of Rights', to be put into effect with the Just Third Way. Then we can get on with civilization itself.
Let us show you how with Capital Homesteading. Join the happy revolution of idea. An idea whose time as come. Let it be your idea, that wins the war of ideas, with expanded capital ownership.

"Big Business and State Socialism are very much alike, especially Big Business." - G.K.'s Weekly, 4/10/26
"[No society can survive the socialist] fallacy that there is an absolutely unlimited number of inspired officials (politicians) and an absolutely unlimited amount of money to pay them. (A Central Bank)" - The Debate with Bertrand Russell, BBC Magazine, 11/27/35
"A citizen can hardly distinguish between a tax and a fine, except that the fine is generally much lighter." - ILN, 5/25/31
"Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists." - The Uses of Diversity, 1921
“We hope that this essay has contributed to an understanding of the cost industrialized countries are incurring through the persistent blindness of their leadership to the rationale of free industrial society, and of the coin in which payment will be exacted. Since the very purpose of an expedient, as opposed to reasoned action in harmony with relevant and sound principles, is to temporize, to gain time, to push the dislocations and problems downstream to those who come afterward, guardians of the status quo will probably escape the consequences of the leadership. They can say with Louis XV, Apre’s moi, le deluge.”
Therefore, it is unlikely, although not impossible, that changes and innovations will initiated by the exponents of the “conventional wisdom.”
Our hopes of change will be more realistically placed in those who will have to pay the full cost of economic mismanagement. To identify them takes no special prescience. They are the ones who must always suffer for defective economic institutions -the propertyless of all ages, but most particularly and immediately, their children.” - Louis Kelso
