Peaceful Revolution

A Radio Broadcast

"Less than half of our citizens vote. We have party politics, which means we can either choose Democrat or Republican, one or the other. Both parties are dedicated to the status quo. Each election we are supposed to have a "peaceful revolution" if the citizens so desire it. Is this what we have? Is this what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the constitution central to which was the system of checks and balances? Citizens have become farm animals. Instead of being sent to the slaughter, we are extorted by means of taxation. Half of our wealth, our hard-earned work, OUR LABOR, is taken to be used by the politicians in ways that suit the "national interest". We need to see this system for what it is, indirect slavery. Some people in a room one-hundred miles away deciding what to do with the fruits of your labor. The scope and power of the government has been growing and growing. The United States is slowly slipping down into the pit of authoritarianism. Where is the liberty, the personal responsibility, the spirit of the hard-working individual? This message is for our masters: Free us... or we will free ourselves. Until next time, this is your host, Ark77. Till' next time, Live long and live Free."
