Adam Kokesh appeared on Russia Today yesterday in an excellent interview to discuss the Federal Reserve and the need to audit it. Check it out:
Adam Kokesh is running for US Congress from New Mexico’s 3rd District as a Republican. You can check out his campaign website at Kokesh for Congress. Donate to his campaign if you can and help him reach his $100,000 goal, and help get Ron Paul some help in the House in the form of the young and charismatic Iraq War veteran and true liberty candidate.
Today’s quote comes from the man who was somehow elected President, Barack Obama.
I will cut taxes – cut taxes – for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.
We all know this is a lie, they’ll tax for healthcare reform. Bailouts, Cash For Clunkers and all of these other wasteful programs do nothing but levy more taxes onto the people who can least afford them through the hidden inflation tax. It’s not a secret that the cost are coming back around to those 95% of working families. The funny thing about the quote though, is not the lie that is told, but it’s the fallacy of the last part of it. No one wants to raise taxes, hell most of the taxes the people pay should be done away with. But you can’t continue to drastically increase the size of government, create new departments, appoint “Czars” to oversee everything, run an empire and continue to spend like crazy without raising taxes. They’re trying to pass off something for nothing, and most people can see through it. Look at the debt already, you can’t increase spending and try and do all these different programs while lowering taxes, because where the hell do you get the money to pay for it? You borrow it or just print it, either way it’s piling on more debt and further screwing the people (those people who they claim to be helping in particular)… the opposite of what you want to be doing “in an economy like this”, but that’s something Keynesians just don’t understand.
Peter Schiff has his latest edition of The Schiff Report up now at YouTube.
Don’t forget to support Peter Schiff in his campaign for Senate (replacing Chris Dodd, two birds with one stone) by visiting Schiff For Senate and participate in the big Peter Schiff Moneybomb coming up on Friday, August 7th at Schiff-A-Thon. Give what you can, and let’s get a true liberty candidate who understands the economic crisis into the U.S. Senate in 2010.
In his latest C4L video, Dr. Paul discusses the true effects of the “Cash for Clunkers” program and talks about how government intervention into the economy will only make things worse.
As is practically always the case, Dr. Paul is 100% correct. I don’t know how anyone in Washington or any economist can say this program is successful and will “do good” for the economy with a straight face. It’s huge waste of money that the government does not have, and results in inflation. Horrible program.
