“plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose”
A French phrase meaning to the effect that “the more things change, the more they stay the same”.
In modern civilisation things need to be changed but we must take care that we don’t change them back to what they were.
What they are—
- the self-interested and self-serving,
- serving themselves and their own interests,
- with money that YOU have lawfully earned,
- which is rightfully yours,
- but is/has been and will be taken from you by force or threat.
To take from you by force those self-servers need power. All of your life the systems you have been steeped in (dating back sometimes hundreds, even thousands of years) afford them that power; with no say on your part.
The paradigm of power is wrong. It is immoral. It is outdated. It is theft—
IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS DONE
YOU’LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS GOT
Is that what you really want? To see the monies you’ve earned taken and given gratis to self-serving people to do with entirely as they please? It is literally ‘taxation without representation’; although they will claim that it is ‘Representative Democracy’. It isn’t. It isn’t representative when they represent only themselves, it isn’t democracy when the greater mass of people has no say.
TIME FOR A CHANGE
As People we need to spend our own money as we see fit—we worked for it, we earned it, it’s rightfully ours; we don’t need officials to spend it for us as they see fit. Actually, if we need people in office we need people who will serve our interests and are subject to our supervision at all times—which means: we need to rule ourselves.
NECESSARY CHANGE:
- to make it impossible for the self-serving in office to serve themselves, at our expense
- to change the paradigm to favour individual accountability and responsibility
- to let every individual direct where his/her own monies will be spent
- to let the people themselves set the tax rates
