Happy Independence Day, fellow gatovians.

"By today's standards, King George III was a very mild tyrant indeed. He taxed his American colonists at a rate of only pennies per annum. His actual impact on their personal lives was trivial. He had arbitrary power over them in law and in principle but in fact it was seldom exercised. If you compare his rule with that of today's U.S. Government, you have to wonder why we celebrate our independence."

~ Joseph Sobran

Repeal the 16th Amendment.

End the Fed.

Starve the beast, liberty will follow.

I've already rewarded this post with a "heart". Is there any way Substack can add an animated fireworks display as a reward option?

"The moral tragedy that has befallen Americans is our belief that it is okay for government to forcibly use one American to serve the purposes of another - that in my book is a working definition of slavery."

~ Walter Williams

Slavery was reimposed in the United States in 1913.

The income tax and Federal Reserve nationalized slavery and made it universal.

They are the greatest engines of mass theft in the history of mankind.

The average American works over three months exclusively for the government masters. For many of us, myself included, it exceeds six months.

If we are ever to get our republic and our freedoms back, we need a Constitutional Amendment that repeals the 16th Amendment and forever forbids all government from reimposing income taxes, for any purpose whatsoever, in perpetuity.

And, of course, end the Fed.

Enough.

Today is the birthday of Calvin Coolidge, the last president who believed in the Constitution and not the welfare state.
