Don't Cry for Thee
Timothy Birdnow
I caught much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the Sunday morning talk shows, most especially Meet the Press, over Musk's Texas Chainsaw Massacre of government (and Trump chided him for not doing enough fast enough - so Musk sent out an e-mail telling employees they had to lsit five things they did last week and if they didn't that would be considered a resignation.) Even Cal Thomas - a good conseervative - bemoamed the pace at which Musk and Trump are moving, and this on Fox News Sunday.
Should we be worried about this? I don't think so.
What people fail to remember is that study done last year showed 93% of people's wealth goes to the Federal bureaucracy.
That's based on a U.S. Treasury repot from February of 2024 in whcich it was found that the Federal government has amassed a whopping $142 TRILLION in debt, unfunded liabilities, and this amounts to 93% of all the wealth Americans have accumulated since the nation's founding! The the Federal Reserve estimates the total wealth of America from it's founding to be $152 trillion.
Socialism isn't coming - it's here. The government owns everything and are just oo polite to say so.
What Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk are doing is rebalancing this so Americans can actually own, say, 85% of their own wealth.
This is theft on an unimaginable scale - the world's biggest long con.
And so we must put aside any symptathy we have for government workers who, after all, are in league with the Devil. Feeling bad for them is like sympathizing with 22 year old Italian kids because they mafia was driven out of the neighborhood and now they are losing their jobs.
When you work the land for a feudal lord you are called a serf. That is precisely what Americans are these days. We don'town this country, the bureaucrats and deep staters do.

As long as they tax the land with the stipulation if you dont pay the tax they can seize it we will always be serfs.Actual land ownership is a pipe dream. You may own an acre of land but as long as your paying tax(rent
) on it do you really own it?

Mike that is 100% true. My grandmother owned a good sized farm in rural southeast Missouri and my father spent half his youth living there (his father worked for the railroad and he worked six months and was laid off six months - when he was laid off my dad a ond uncle got shipped down to live on the farm. It had no electricity or running water and was heated by a wood stove.) Great Grandma sold the farm off piece by piece solely to pay taxes on it. She eventually lost the whole thing.
It breaks my heart because that was our inheritance but it's gone now.
You don't own it if the government can seize it, no question. You are just a tenant
