The government as it stands now is essentially a criminal cartel whose only goal is to create the perception of a demand for its services, it's imperative that no matter how much money they steal through taxation they improve social services as least as possible, because by doing so they actually decrease their perceived need, by stealing the money and giving it to offshore bankers, and the like, the demand for social services goes up as the average person's quality of life goes down, again as a result of the taxation and theft from the government itself to pay for their so-called social services, then in turn the average person, now poorer than before and more desperate, needs the social services even more, and hence the endless circle which creates the misery by which enslaves entire (once free) societies.

No one would disagree the situation we find ourselves in now is very bad and will continue to get worse, but the important thing to realize is we could turn this whole thing around through holding government to its extremely limited role in the constitution, the power to print money and taxation are the biggest threats to our lives and our freedoms, take them away and prosperity is guaranteed to follow, keep them intact and things will only get perpetually worse. - Chris

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." - Sir Josiah Stamp, (President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain)
