Is Democracy the Nemesis Also of the Americans?

….Take money from producers and give it to non-producers. Like his predecessors and spiritual equivalents (FDR etc), he heaped doles on some men, but at the cost of other men by using government’s gun, which means reducing these others to slavery. He merely hid behind the word “society” with the help of slogans of charity and altruism, but in reality he stole from some people and gave to others, and in the mean time also charged a very high fee for his altruism.

I have to elaborate a bit on the above paragraph because an appreciable number of men do not understand ‘cheating via government’, as well as the ultimate evil of undifferentiated charity. The explanation below shows the weakness of today’s Christianity, where modification is necessary, etc. Supposing there were 2 men with different incomes, you the reader were middle-class, and there was a poor, unemployed man – it was not clear whether he was unemployed because of misfortune or that he was just a bum. Mr. Johnson was suddenly overwhelmed by pity for the poor man, could not control his tears and the urge to help him. So he simply held you by the collar, drew $2000 out of your wallet, and gave them to the poor man. Now the poor man was overwhelmed by emotion – he blessed him, kissed his hand, even touched his feet, and prayed to the Lord to induct Mr. J into heaven. A Padre standing by the side (see ** Note about Padre below) also praised Mr. J, and even gave advice to you to continue donations to the poor. What would you feel about Mr. J and about the entire affair, with the Padre telling you it’s your pious duty to help the poor man? Now widen the scope of Mr. J’s charity. He holds ten men in your neighborhood by the collar, draws $2000 from each one of them, and distributes amongst a few poor men. They react the way the single poor man reacted, chanting “Long Live Mr. J!”

All those people including the Padre are smiling. But this time, since the money and efforts are more, Mr. J charges a small fee for his ‘pious work’ -- $500 for himself and the rest distributed amongst the poor. What would be the reaction of those from whom money was seized? Perhaps someone would draw out his gun and shoot all those people including the Padre, calling them as thieves, robbers and bastards? In the present example nobody does that. With so many men, Padre, etc applauding him, Mr. J is encouraged to further widen his charity – he thinks of demanding money from thousands of ‘haves’ to be given to ‘our poor brethren’ not only in America but all over the earth. But since many more people would object to him, and their voice also would be strong, he calls them in advance as ‘greedy, selfish, materialist looters of society’ etc. (He actually makes a big speech about ‘sacrifice’ to a huge applause in the local church or town-hall which becomes a famous speech as “Do not ask what your neighbors will do for you, but ask what you will do for them” speech. The following will be obvious to many Americans, but to a few uninitiated of the neo-gen: this speech was on the same lines as LBJ’s brother JFK’s famous speech referred to just ahead). This brings in huge applause to him and stifles all opposition. Since the scope of work has grown significantly, he hires men who are strong and powerful enough to bull-doze any opposition. He names them as Sheriff, Deputy, commissioner etc. Their salaries, as well as Mr. J and his direct assistants’ bigger commission, comes out of the much bigger amount collected from those thousands of men. Then there are much louder shouts of “Long Live Mr. J”, the poor whole-heartedly contribute out of what they got from him to erect a statue of Mr. J, and so on.

Now Mr. J comes to the final stage of his endeavor – he demands and collects billions from 100-200 million people, hires huge staff to collect it, hires private contractors and establishes private corporations in his wife’s and other relatives’ names to do part of the work, buys copters and jets out of those billions, makes several trips to different parts of the nation, waves to the poor hapless people, who wave back to him with tears in their eyes. Now his statues are erected at various places in America, and even some poor people elsewhere on earth long to touch his feet and kiss his hand.

Are you shocked? Do you call me as mad? But that is what successive Dem-Presidents have done since the New Deal – only that the agency that supports them in this endeavor is known as ‘the government’! And hardly has anybody, having a large enough voice (by which I mean the GOP, many hi-fi intellectuals etc) raised correct objections to it – they are all under the influence of the Padre, particularly GOP – which is why I have called all those rich Americans and Europeans who have achieved so much as moral cowards! The man who felt like drawing out the gun belongs to one of the minority groups demanding a reasonable government, and if he goes beyond fretting, fuming and vociferous dissent he will be hanged.

Mr. J’s actions would be moral only if the money was his own, or contributed voluntarily by his supporters! Else it is robbery whether done by pointing a gun at a few people or at the entire nation. Note this crucial point: Had it not been for the government’s force, Mr. J would not have been able to achieve a speck of his so-called, alleged, great achievements like charity, society’s welfare etc that he is credited with. He forced them on those unwilling to sacrifice and achieved sainthood, commission and power by looting them. Therefore, sacrifice via government is to be banned….
