Capitol Punishment

Federal and State elected and appointed officials are certainly in need of punishment for what they’ve done to the country. Let’s punish everybody who works at the State or Federal Capitol.

Our Founders gave us a well-balanced sustainable “Republic” with is small federal government with limited powers and responsibilities. Citizens were completely responsible for their own upkeep and families and churches took care of the indigent. Citizens would need to secure their own employment and move wherever the needed to go. There were lots of opportunities for work.  We had created a “meritocracy”. 

Our federal government made great deals, like the Louisiana Purchase and took land by force by winning the Mexican War.  We paid France $15 million for the Louisiana Territory and paid Mexico later for the land we took from them.  We won our wars with the American Indian tribes and put them on Reservations. However, their children have been free to leave these reservations and join the private economy. Many have done this and many have not.

We ensured our food supply by granting land to farmers and ranchers and were quick to join the Industrial Revolution.  Our business leaders invented products and machines that gave us a technological leap in the 1800s and great commercial success by 1900.

In the 1870, the federal government violated the US Constitution when it established National Parks, but nobody stopped them.  The Congress passed the unconstitutional laws, the President signed them and the Courts did not stop them. After that, the federal government continued to pass even more unconstitutional laws.

Our current sovereign bankruptcy is the result of a series of unconstitutional powers assumed by the federal government without being subject to the requirements to make lawful Constitutional Amendments that were ratified by the States.

It is incumbent upon the current federal government to reverse these errors, own up to their transgressions and make plans to become compliant with the US Constitution (as written) soon, while we still have another chance to restore our citizens’ ability to become self-supporting.

The laws of economics are unchanging.  We need to ween away from government programs and avoid third-party payment systems to restore the price mechanism for the private economy.  

The waste and corruption that resulted from these treasonous acts are massive and terminal.
