IL-Massive property tax increases hit Chicago home squatters

[Swordsmyth]

I detest Welfare in any and all forms. I believe in the right to travel freely as a God given (not Fed-given) right.

There isn't a right to enter another Nation's territory without permission.

Why you guys keep trying to come at me for what this out of control government is doing to all of us I have no clue why.

Because you are helping them.

 

[PAF]

Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. You said that in the image you posted.

Rather than to advocate keeping Welfare/Incentives and closing the border, and in light of the MIC/DHS/TSA plan to implement biometric ID here in the make believe "Land of the Free Home of the Brave" (I have several threads on it) I am advocating that we get down to the root of the problem and call for an end to Welfare/Incentives.

I know that is not the populist attitude around this RPF, but somebody has to make a solid stand for freedom, liberty and fiscal responsibility.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

You said you do not oppose open borders IF we end the Welfare State. Emphasis on the “IF” was yours.

So when did that change? Now you support open borders, but the welfare state has only grown much worse, with no end in sight.

I don’t know that anyone here disagrees about ending the welfare state.

Your disagreements with people seem to center on immigration. Thus the logic of the statement in the image you posted would mean that you do not support open borders until the welfare state is ended. That has been a very common position among libertarians for a long time.

You are being evasive, so either you changed your mind, as many seem to have done, or you were just throwing that out there when you originally posted that (on the Daily Paul, I assume).

 

[phill4paul]

How come I care about it, and I am the very textbook definition of a nationalist (even worse, a white nationalist)?

Chicago is just the opposite, the textbook definition of diversity and multi-culti Kum By Ya-ism.

How is importing millions more people like that, all looking to vote for more government, plush-bottom city jobs, handouts and reparations gonna make this situation better?

If you work your ass off, pay mortgage, and property taxes, you owe reparations to those who don't. It's only fair.

I am tired of explaining my solid position on this forum and having a few select others continuously twist and/or put words into my mouth, over and over again. For passers by visiting this forum, I do not want the wrong impression taken about me, since I am still politically active. That, I understand, comes with the territory.

I was very well grounded back before and into the Daily Paul days. Since those days, bills and information came to light, which enabled me to see the bigger picture of what this government is trying to do in order to grow itself and fund the special interest. Perhaps back in those days I had hoped to see a positive change in government, but since then have come to the conclusion that the government has grown so large and powerful, the only way to overcome it is for people en mass to come to a discovery, one of which Ron Paul and others, including me, are trying to do.

Government solutions to government created problems ALWAYS leads to growth of government.

 

[Swordsmyth]

the only way to overcome it is for people en mass to come to a discovery

That will never happen, there will never be a New Soviet Anarchist Man, we have to make progress incrementally just like our enemies did and that means doing damage control by keeping out the invaders our enemies intend to use against us.

 

[aGameOfThrones]

A property tax increase or decrease should be voted solely by property owners

 

[Swordsmyth]

A property tax increase or decrease should be voted solely by property owners

That's if you allow property taxes at all.

Local governments should have a bicameral legislature with one house voted on only by property owners and the other half by non-property owners.

 

[Anti Federalist]

There is no way in hell millions of people in this country who have mouths to feed are going to quit their jobs to slow or stop the MIC, it's contractors, manufacturing plants and programmers. The book of Revelations talks about nations coming to end, and soon enough, with or without my help, this nation will end.

Ahhh, that's the insight into your line of thinking I had been looking for.

 

[Swordsmyth]

Ahhh, that's the insight into your line of thinking I had been looking for.

Those who want to bring on the destruction instead of letting GOD take care of it are as bad as those that want to create a millennial paradise instead of waiting for GOD.
And they are often one and the same.

Heaven save us from madmen with GOD complexes.

 

[UWDude]

The book of Revelations talks about nations coming to end, and soon enough, with or without my help, this nation will end.

If you truly wish to live out the rest of your life in hell, I can arrange that.
You know as well as I do the end of America will not mean a better world, in any way.
Deep down you know it is true.

But know that your damnation will see America continue on.
With or without your help. Because your help does not count for anything.
And America continuing on, will compound your agony. America will exist when you draw your last breath.
I can assure you of that, because America has my help.
In fact, everything you do in life is counterproductive to your aims.
Because you actually have no clue what your aims are.

You think you do. But you have no idea what happiness is.
Is it Pussy? Paper? Poetry?

No it's purpose.

All this time on this planet, and still no purpose.
It isn't America keeping you from finding your purpose.
It's laziness.

Politics can not keep a man from finding his purpose, only laziness can.
Prison, can not keep a man from finding his purpose, only laziness can.
Posting on these forums is leisure, disguised as purpose.

Are you changing anything by posting here? Do you really believe that?
Resist me? Go ahead. Go ahead and try to tell me your are doing one iota of good by posting here.
Let's hear your excuses for your laziness, and why you are here, typing out useless words, and not fulfilling your purpose.

A purpose, mind you, you clearly have not even started, in your entire life, except maybe one or two half-assed attempts, before you determined it was too hard or impossible.

(P.S. your purpose is clearly not politics, you suck at it)

 

[Anti Globalist]

Wonder how many of Illinois's problems would go away if Cook County didn't exist.

 

[Superfluous Man]

Not home owners. None of us are home owners...just peasants squatting on the King's Land at the whim of the local liege-lord.

But is this not exactly what you support? At least when it comes to immigration policy.

 

[Ender]

I'm glad you asked...maybe [MENTION=9064]Ender[/MENTION] will take a look at this as well, since he likes to poke fun at my William Wallace avatar as well.

I don't know why though. Let's look briefly at William Wallace...what did he fight for? Cheap French goods? Hordes of Irish to work for potatoes to cut the grass at his castle?

No, he fought for a nation of his own, to overthrow foreign invaders in defense of his home and family.

He fought for a nation of Scots, for Scottish posterity, in a society run by Scots.

What is so out of line with Anti Federalism?
å
They believed the Constitution needed a Bill of Rights.
They believed the Constitution created a presidency so powerful that it would become a monarchy.
They believed the Constitution did too little with the courts and would create an out-of-control judiciary.
They believed that the national government would be too far away from the people and thus unresponsive to the needs of localities.
They believed the Constitution would abrogate, at least in part, the power of the states.

This government has done every one of those things, and failed in many other regards, just like the Anti Feds predicted, not the least of which, prevent and repel invasion, which the AoC at least was very clear on THAT point.

The Anti Feds were not opposed to state governments, they were opposed to an overpowering central government.

But even the greatest Anti Fed of them all, Patrick Henry, saw the power in unity when opposed to tyrants:

The distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders are no more. I Am Not A Virginian, But An American!”
― Patrick Henry

He fought for the same reason William Wallace fought, for the same reason I fight, for freedom and for a place, a nation of my own, and my posterity.

So I don't see why my "handle" or avatar should be surprising.

Dude- I was NOT making fun of you- I was reminding you- and everyone- of Wallace's importance & what he did.

And Wallace was not fighting "immigration". He was fighting the Empire of the day taking his country. Today's Empire is doing the same damn thing but if people resist, we call them communists /socialists & employ coups & total take-overs of their countries & resources. The Anti-Feds were right on. The same PTB have also ripped the original CONstitution to shreds while slowly enslaving the people so they accept it & think they are free.

Immigration is NOT the problem- it is a ruse to keep your eye off the mark. Ironic how everyone here talks continually about the Deep State etc but still blames them dirty immigrants on any problem. A perfect example is this thread- how property taxes are now the fault of immigrants.

It is not.

It is the fault of Americans believing everything they're taught & told & never coming to a full understanding of what true freedom really means and what their personal responsibility is in keeping it. It's so much easier to point the finger at someone who doesn't look like you & blame them.

Of course, hate & division is also part of this planned ruse. We see it all over this forum.

All the insults, name-calling, & finger-pointing at someone who doesn't agree on a subject, no matter how small or insignificant is mind-blowing. And every single issue goes back to immigration for a few of the biggest insulters. Creating division seems to be part of their ideology.

And, of course there will be the regulars jumping in to scream that I- and anyone who believes in true freedom are open-border advocates- and take the subject of this post right back to the hate & division category.

For the record- and zillionth time:

I believe in free travel but absolutely no incentives- people should be able to come & work or spend money, but NO free stuff or privileges, a reasonable path to citizenship, and REAL capitalism & free enterprise. End the WoD & WoT, bring the military home, and mind our own business.

I know...I just wanted to have you chime in here.

But the bottom line remains that Wallace fought to free Scotland from outside invaders, for the purpose of creating something the Scots had never had: a nation and home for themselves.

What we are seeing at the border right now is an invasion: a well organized attack, using people, armed with nothing but the ability to use our our sense of pity and "Christian" charity against us, to seize and occupy us.

If it were Welsh longbowmen or Panzer tanks rolling across the border, people would recognize the threat, and (almost) to a man respond, vigorously.

But it's not, and that is WHY the PTB use dirt poor peasants as the latest weapon.

Deadly effective and cheap as hell.

I never said that. What I said was, the situation will not be improved by bringing millions more who support the ideas that that got us into this mess into the country.

And it will not. You know it as well as I do.

Exhibit A: California, where the Bolshevik Super Majorities, put into power by the migrant hordes that have started to vote have now approved "free" healthcare for illegal migrant invaders.

It is the fault of Americans believing everything they're taught & told & never coming to a full understanding of what true freedom really means and what their personal responsibility is in keeping it. It's so much easier to point the finger at someone who doesn't look like you & blame them.

The two are separate issues. My understanding of the migrant invasion and my opposition to it take two forms, the one right now short term: cease all immigration from anywhere, so we can sort shit out. That junkie fuck from Trashcanistan that killed all my brother riders up in NH looks just like me (a Caucasian of western European stock). I want him thrown the fuck out of my country as well.

I don't see hate here, or at least not from me, directed towards other freedom folks like you.

I see plenty of hate directed at me from the New Bolsheviks.

That's why I have taken a defensive posture...I am not kidding, these people, were they to come into a great deal of power (which is just sitting there to be picked up, thanks to the expansion of the police state) would kill me.

For the record- and zillionth time:

And I reply, for the zillionth time:

You will NEVER achieve that if you continue to allow millions who are opposed those ideas into the country on top of the millions already here that are opposed to it.

All you're going to get, at best, is a failed narco state like Mexico with all its corruption, misery and a murder rate three times what ours is.

At worst, you'll get a Rwandan or Cambodian style genocide.

If the ship is sinking, you start the pumps AND patch the hole.

Both...not one or the other...to do that, or even worse, nothing at all, ensures you will sink.

OK, I'll bite...tell me how.

 

[TheTexan]

we have to make progress incrementally

Sounds reasonable

Now THIS is a reasonable response. Thanks AF, & I do not include you with the haters- you are still one of my fav members.

I'm running out the door right now- will get back later with my POV.

The politicians and the MIC will look for and create any set of circumstances necessary to profit off the taxpayer.

Wise words there!

Wonder how many of Illinois's problems would go away if Cook County didn't exist.

You'd need to nix St.Clair, Jersey, Madison and Clinton counties too....

Then Illinois would be just fine..

95% of the land owners agree with this too.. (Acreage not $$)
