Speak Up or Lose Your Rights!

Much has been stated regarding the upcoming presidential cycle and how America will respond to an almost certain increased tax burden. I myself have contemplated what my next steps will be specific to my family and what steps I must take to protect what I have earned from those who would take it from me. Additionally, let’s be clear, it isn’t only the progressive view that we (my family) must give up a greater portion of what we earn to care for those who do not work as hard as we do, are not as well educated as we are, are not as self-reliant as we are, but also the thought that our constitutional rights are up for debate and theft by a potential super-majority of social, elitists that sacrifice our futures by implementing wide ranging entitlement (welfare) programs and then pay for them by taxation that should be considered obscene by any standard. By the way if you think I am overstating my position tell me why. All in, I am not prepared to go back to interest rates of 19-20 percent and inflation through the roof (e.g. Jimmy Carter days). I am also unwilling to give in on freedom of speech (The Fairness Doctrine Bill) or my Second Amendment rights both of which, in my opinion, would be threatened by a democrat super-majority.

Let’s put some questions on the table and debate the answers:
