I Thessalonians 5:20, 21

Do not despise expounding of scripture, but scrutinize all things. Hold fast that which is right.

Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium

- I prefer liberty with danger to peace with slavery.

U.S. State Department Creating Jobs - in Danang Vietnam

____________________

With the U.S. government debt in the trillions, one would think the United States State Department would be watching their pennies. Or, if the U.S. Department of State was going to create new jobs, with real unemployment in the U.S. over 22%, and over 42 million people on food stamps, including millions of children, one would think Hillary Clinton's State Department would be creating jobs in the United States or providing for children in the United States, and not in other countries.

How foolish of one to think such reasonable thoughts.

Any of you looking for a job? Here's a full time opening for you, in Danang, Vietnam, being paid for by the American taxpayer, where you "can easily earn a satisfactory salary while not having to work so hard but having time to relax and enjoy life."

ENGLISH TEACHER FOR CHILDREN


Fisher's SuperKids is a top quality private school in Danang, Vietnam, which has recently been chosen by the State Department of the United States to implement a special English program for underprivileged children.

We offer after school English programs to children 4-6 and 7-12 years of age. Our purpose is to prepare the young children of Vietnam develop a strong foundation of English proficiency that will open doors to opportunities for them in the future. We thrive to provide an environment of positive influence, quality, happiness, love and growth for everyone.

Teachers who love to explore and experience firsthand the Vietnamese culture will really enjoy life in Danang, Vietnam where there are great beaches, good food, friendly people and easy access to many famous world heritage sites such as Hue,Hoi An, My Son Holy Land and Cham Islands. A addition to the benefits of working and living in Danang is that the costs of living are very affordable. Teachers can easily earn a satisfactory salary while not having to work so hard but having time to relax and enjoy life.

Openings are available immediately and through December 2010. We offer competitive packages depending on experience and qualifications. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information or questions.


First, we draft our young men to go fight the Vietnamese, upsetting, interrupting or ruining the lives of thousands of soldiers, and ending the lives of over 58,000 to go and "kill the yellow man," to allegedly stop the domino effect of communism. This loss and ruination of life cost the U.S. taxpayer millions of dollars and helped to fuel inflation in the 1970s, again costing Americans millions of dollars.

Then, within my lifetime, the same U.S. government goes to Vietnam to make nicey nice, again spending U.S. taxpayer money, to send some underprivileged Vietnamese children to school to learn English.

This spending is going on while at the same time there is a $500 Billion Shortfall and Growing deficit for teachers' pensions in the United States. The United States does not have enough money to pay the pensions its obligated to pay its teachers, but it has money to fund a program for "underprivileged" children in Vietnam?

I tell ya folks, I've been to Vietnam. Most all of the children of Vietnam are "underprivileged." There could be no end to this type of program. Can the United States afford to go about the world helping everyone who the U.S. government thinks needs assistance?

What about the underprivileged children in the United States, the children living off food stamps?

When is this madness going to stop?

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

__________________________________________________

Have you noticed the increasing government talk about creating jobs? In today's America, most people assume it is government's job to create jobs, jobs and more jobs. So, in sync with the political savvy most clever politicians have, they promise the people, jobs, jobs, jobs. However, no where in the US Constitution, the contract between We the People and their government, can there be found any clause where it spells out the government's role in creating jobs, jobs, jobs.

What we do see is government's responsibility to protect our God given unalienable right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," which was originally written as "the pursuit of property" but changed just before ratification. Here's what George Mason had to say about the pursuit of property:


That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.


Yes, We the People have the right to property, that is, we have the right to acquire - through our efforts - property, and then we have the right to hold on to that property. It is the government's main responsibility to provide the environment to do just that - legally acquire property and then keep what property is acquired. In fact, arguments can be made that securing our rights is the sole purpose of government; why the people created government in the first instance.

Instead, we have a government that is doing everything in it's power to destroy our ability to earn property, through small business endeavors, self-employment, contracts, hard work, in short, what it takes to acquire property, also known as working capital. Today, we find the tail wagging the dog, to death. Worse, if We the People are fortunate, through our efforts and despite the myriad of obstacles, hurdles and roadblocks government - at all levels - sets up to hinder our efforts, and do manage to succeed, government, at all levels, takes as much as it can through taxation. The tail wags the dog to death and yet sniffs around expecting to extract more taxes from the dead corpse.

In the place of opportunity, government offers the promise of jobs, jobs, jobs. In short, a job is nothing more than a way for corporations to keep most people on slave wages. True wealth is created through self-employment, small business endeavors, free market capitalism, not jobs, jobs, jobs.

One of my favorite sayings related to work is: "I'm so busy working, I can't make any money." I for one, don't want a job. I want an opportunity to create wealth for myself and my posterity and then to be able to keep what I create safe from government confiscation. This is at direct odds with what our government is doing today: they destroy those who create wealth - this is what happened to small business owners in California - and jobs, and then, once the destruction of wealth takes place, step up to the microphone and promise jobs, jobs, jobs. Any and all jobs which do happen to be created, of course, are created with the very funds government extracts from its citizens, through the heavily progressive income tax, the second plank of the Communist Manifesto. When government succeeds in confiscating our wealth, which it most certainly has, we all end up poor, which we are most certainly becoming.

To the government's repeated promise to provide jobs, jobs, jobs, I respond "take this promise of jobs, jobs, jobs and shove it."

Tax Time Draweth Nigh

_____________________________________________

Annual Tax Day, April 15, when American serfs pay their Masters tribute in the form of taxes on "income," draws near. This is the day when taxes owed the Master become due and payable without incurring penalties.

Look for some well-publicized tax evader to be brought to the public's attention to warn those who dare resist one of the pair of "sure things" - taxes - and decides to cheat or worse yet, not pay at all.

Who will be the unlucky chap this year? Some well known person, a Wesley Snipes, most likely.

Of course, Barry Soetoro's picks for his administration don't count, they merely made "honest mistakes" or failed to pay thousands of dollars of taxes due to "oversight" on their part. Forgiveness of this nature is reserved for the elite, not us peons. We pay pay pay for such "honest mistakes."

No, the poster person will not be one of the Chosen Ones.
