Liberty Day is behind us, and now we can move onto life in Liberty, which is a responsibility to help other people, if they want help, escaping from those powers that ruin, destroy, torture, mass murder, and end Liberty.
Ron Paul on Jay Leno
I stopped watching that Show at a point where I would have answered the questions Jay Leno asked in a different way compared to the way Ron Paul answered the question.
I will rewind the video from where I stopped it, and then I will quote the question from Jay Leno. You may think that the question is a good question.
Jay Leno:
"Elaborate on State rights..."
Before I offer my answer I have to say that Ron Paul does a very good job of pointing out how State's do not have rights; people have rights, not States. I would elaborate on that if asked. But for now the question concerns how a Republic is designed to work and this is very simple.
Each State can try out such things as Public Education, and Social Security, and Single Payer Medical Insurance, and Minimum Wage, and anything that the people in each State want to try.
Those things are not within the boundaries of what a Federal Government can do, and notice how I do not use the word Nation.
The simple idea is such that a State that grows despotic will be a State that will undermine it's own power, as the tax payers who care not to suffer despotism move to a State that does not grow despotic.
Imagine, for example, that the Nation State wasn't one, and instead of that Nation State called U.S.A. Inc. (LLC), which is falsely called a Federal Government, instead of it, consider for a minute what would have happened if only 1 of the States acted the way that the Nation State acts now. Consider, for example, if New Jersey was the only State that acted like U.S.A., which is a Nation State, and what if all the other States, all 49 other States, were as they were during the time when this country was a Democratic Federated Republican Competitive Experimental Voluntary government of 13 Separate and Sovereign States.
You may need help in realizing how that would be in real terms.
Take, first, the National Debt, and place that Debt only on those people in New Jersey, because that is the only State that is acting like this Nation State called U.S.A. Inc. (LLC), in this hypothetical example.
All the other States do not tax as much as New Jersey, in this hypothetical example which intends to explain why a Federal Government is limited in what it can do, and why States within the Federal Government are allowed to experiment with different levels of taxation (with, or without representation).
Right now, here, in this Nation State, with the misnamed (false name) Federal Government, there is a monopoly force, and it is, in effect, one government power, and it rules over all the States, and it rules over all the people, and there is no competition. Now, here in this despotic Nation State, it is "love it or leave it", no where to run, no where to hide, the National Debt Collectors find all the tax payers in each state, and they collect, and they collect, and they collect, and there is no competitive option, no trial and error, no voting with your feet, there is obey, and that is all there is, just obey.
If it were a Federal Government, and not a Nation State, and if New Jersey was as despotic as our Nation State, then how many tax payers would still live in New Jersey, if they could vote with their feet, inside the Federation, and move to Virginia, for example, where Virginia didn't become despotic, didn't increase taxes well in excess of anything anyone would ever agree to, if they had a choice.
That is the answer as to what State's could do, in a Democratic Republican Federation, they could sink or swim, based upon how well they provide exactly what The People want, at any given time in the history of a Democratic Republican Federation - which this is not, not here, not in U.S.A. Inc. (LLC) - here is what is accurately known as fascism, or a legalized monopoly of control that the few have over the many.
I'm going to listen for more that Ron Paul has to say to Jay Leno - before Ron Paul is as gone as the Federation that once was, back before The Constitution eliminated it.
