There is a belief that democracy is this patriotic concept that will save us all. Democracy has no boundaries, and will allow one group to steal, kill, and oppress the other groups who could not manage to gain as much support or numbers. What does one do if they are the minority? The United States of America was started as a Plutocracy. A Plutocracy is similar to a democratic system where the power is held by a select few in our case, wealthy white men. We have groups with beliefs that are not represented because of the monopoly of the two party system. We have groups in the United States who can not vote. We decided people without proper paperwork from the massive controlling bureaucracies are “Illegal” thus can not vote. If a court has convicted one of a crime (guilty or not) they are a “Felon” thus have no say in the matter. This can be from something as unjust as having a drug addiction which should be dealt with as a sickness not a loss of rights. We have chosen to exclude people groups, and we will do this more in the future as long as we allow other people to decide who they feel should have rights and who should not.

Are freedoms determined by birth alone? The issue of immigration is based on biases, and prejudices no matter how subtle. This is not to call pro-state controlled immigration advocates “racist” but mostly unaware and misinformed. It is also a tendency for those individuals to claim to have anti-statist views or small government views which are compromised by their support of the state in this area in an attempt to keep out the others. This is the typical us vs. them conflict once more.
Welfare! No Free Lunches! Work Hard get far! Immigrants are leeching off the welfare system! All rubbish. That is right, all of these battle cries of the Neo-Con and conservative right are rubbish. “But Punk Johnny Cash!” you scream, “you support the abolition of welfare, social security, Medicaid, Medicare, and any government assistance whatsoever, how can you say such things are rubbish?”

War creates absolutely nothing. War can use resources, and money can be spent on those resources, but in the end it provides nothing but destruction. Every resource spent in was has failed to replenish itself because the act of waging a war in itself is an act of destroying and lending nothing to the people of a nation and nothing within itself to the economy and prosperity of the nation. In a case such as world war two, The United states saw prosperity only from a shift of wealth. Since the destruction of the war was primarily overseas then shifting wealth spent on the war to the United States, and the women and minorities were finally employed while funds came in from exporting goods to other countries. This left the European countries devastated. The United States escaped this fate because it was not the target of the devastation, but the profiteer of all the other nations. In the case of the Seven Year war France was led to debt to pay for the war and chose to resolve this through taxation of it’s people. In the Case of the Iraq war the United States was left to find resources from other sources such as borrowing, debt, and eventually finding a way to pay for all of this.
