Let me clarify things a bit on why I’m doing this.
I have no illusions that this will pass even the House, let alone the Senate. It took 30 days for House Council to finally understand it. Judging from the way the resolution was submitted to the House Clerk, I don’t even think my own Rep. sponsored it. That means its "Dead on Arrival". None of this is at all unexpected.

“It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men.”
- Samuel Adams

Both our Federal and State Government(s), and those that run for office and are "elected" (by the Union lock in this State) and by the voting majority who are on the Federal dole, do not represent us.
These “elected officials” (not Public Servants) are either patently ignorant of our Constitution or simply intellectually dishonest and chose to subvert and destroy it. Obama for example was a Constitutional Lawyer. He knows too well what the Constitution says and also said the document was “imperfect”. He’s going to use every loophole, every tactic, and every ounce of power to subvert it without those attacks being full on assaults.
Most of them are gutless wonders, who do not remember that Government exists only to protect the rights of the people, while they work feverously to destroy and enslave them.
They will not work to restore our Nation or our State to its prior greatness for the reasons that it’s too hard and politically toxic to do so. They’re more afraid of the riots that would break out if they started pulling the Government programs away than they are of us – the law-abiding citizens of Massachusetts.
Resolutions like this one, tell them something. It tells them that:
1. We oppose what they are doing to us
2. A resistance to what they are doing is alive and well
3. Forces them to remember their Constitutional roots and duty
4. Reminds them that the Constitution is still the law of the land
It’s our duty to work within the system of our government to reverse this ugliness, until such a tipping point occurs that it becomes impossible for us to do so…
That tipping point is coming at us more quickly than I would have imagined with the existing Congress and the Obama Administration. Every Administration since 1933 has had a hand in this.
You see, when more than 51% of the people vote to take their complete sustenance and existence from the other 49%, and claim this is their “right”, that they are “entitled”, this is pure tyranny. No less tyranny than King George III. To suggest that we have a duty to obey a law, when the law is unconstitutional, is silliness. (Read: Massachusetts Healthcare Reform or Universal Healthcare.)
Now…we have this article from the Wall Street Journal where:
|
“New and expanded refundable tax credits would raise the
fraction of taxpayers paying no income taxes to almost 50% from 38%. This
is potentially the most pernicious feature of the president's budget, because
it would cement a permanent voting majority with no stake in controlling
the cost of general government.”
