WE THE PEOPLE of Minnesota have this to say about our State Government’s latest proposed Government shutdown hit list.
Hey you tyrannical #Minnesota #Politicians - If Drivers licenses, Fishing licenses, Hunting Licenses and Motor vehicle plates are not essential, by your own admissions, then lets take this opportunity to repeal all those laws requiring them.
How dare you follow Edward Bernays style Propaganda techniques http://bit.ly/hkXgr0 to terrorize #WETHEPEOPLE into agreeing to more taxes by morbidly instilling fear in all of us? http://bit.ly/kbdJgO
Who are you people? You cannot be my countrymen? Nor are you patriots; You are acting like selfish, ruthless, non-compassionate tyrannical Monsters.
WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND that you dirty, rotten tyrants of both major political parties and bureaucrat apparatchik accomplice henchmen stop playing politics on the backs and emotions of WE THE PEOPLE, your constituents.
WE THE PEOPLE are not your subjects! WE THE PEOPLE are the Sovereigns of our State and Country. You are supposed to be our Public Servants representing us, not Ruling Class Tyrants terrorizing us into subjugation.
Why are WE THE PEOPLE so enraged? How many cuts are you proposing that are counter-intuitive to common sense? How darn ignorant is it that you shut down "user fee" backed portions of the government?
Are WE THE PEOPLE wrong to presume that the fees WE THE PEOPLE pay for these Driver, fishing, hunting and vehicle licenses at least cover the salary and benefits of the persons that provide those licenses THAT YOU TYRANTS REQUIRE.... (But you won't even provide that allegedly public information under Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests http://bit.ly/c74h6m )
If our fees do not cover these related salaries and benefits, then we have to have a discussion. Where is all that user fee money going?
But, since it better be true that those aforementioned license fees at least cover the salaries and fees of those who distribute said licenses, WE THE PEOPLE must believe your morbid reason for cutting those services is based on terrorizing WE THE PEOPLE and not on common sense economics.
The same is true of the Parks and the Zoos. These are user fee backed government entities? Do these fees not cover all or most of these entities operating expenses? But even if it doesn't, won't most of the expenses continue? Don't the animals at the Zoo need to be fed, cared for and cleaned up after? Or are you terrorizing the PETA people into believing the Zoo Animals will be starved and neglected? Or are you shipping all the animals someplace else? What is you major malfunction you worthless, selfish politicians? All the Zoo expenses will continue to be incurred (WE THE PEOPLE presume starving and neglecting the animals is not an option for humanitarian reasons) but you won't let people visit them, and subsidize some of these fixed costs in an economy where a lot of your constituents are opting for stay at home vacations? Please explain your insane logic to all of us.
And then you have sent cut off notices to "vulnerable adults". Many of these vulnerable adults are in housing situations to protect not only themselves from predators but also the general public from that small cross section of the vulnerable adult community that represent a threat to the general public?
HOW SAD, DISGUSTING AND DESPICABLE THAT YOU MINNESOTA ELECTED OFFICIALS OF BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES AND GOVERNMENT APPARATCHIKS WHO ARE SUPPOSE TO BE PUBLIC SERVANTS FEEL YOU CAN TERRORIZE US INTO SUBMISSION.
Who are you people? Are you relatives of the same people that participated in rendering horrors upon the targeted subjugated subjects of Hitler's Nazi Germany? Saddam Husein's Iraq? Pol Pot's Cambodia? The Taliban's Afghanistan?, Stalin's Russia? Or Mao Zedong's China?
You should be ashamed for being party to the mental abuse of WE THE PEOPLE, the sovereign citizens of the great State of Minnesota.
Go home and look your children in the eyes and tell them what you have done and are doing to your neighbors and fellow citizens. Tell your children about the vulnerable adults who did not even understand what the shut off notices meant? Tell your children about those vulnerable adults, with the mental capacity of a child, who burst into tears in abject terror of the uncertainty you created. Tell your children about the lack of concern you demonstrated for the general public's safety in shutting off the medications that keep some of these people from becoming violent and uncontrollable. Tell them about the gnashing of teeth and hand wrenching you caused in the owners and workers of these facilities torn between their compassionate concern for their charges and their own economic security.
May WE THE PEOPLE suggest the rational choice of acting with simple, Common Sense?
First, try acting like any small business does in times of financial distress. Cut those things you hope your customers, in this case WE THE PEOPLE, will least be affected by, not the things we will be most affected and injured by. Perhaps thinking in terms of the best interests of WE THE PEOPLE will work better than whatever cranial-rectal inversion thinking you are currently engaged in does?
Then apply some family farm budget common sense. You don't cut things that produce revenues that pay for themselves. How stupid would it be for a farmer to decide to stop feeding their milking cows, if the cows are at least paying for themselves, if not more likely, producing a profit?
And then apply average middle class family budgeting techniques in times of financial short fall. Figure out what all of your expense have been in the previous year. Prioritize all your expenses from 1 to 99. Then go down the list until you run out of money. That is your budget. (In the case of Government, it is likely necessary that you have each department prioritize items in their sub-budgets before you prioritize the items in the State Budget - And you will probably have to review their priorities and numbers to keep them honest.)
Finally, If there are things that must covered (essential) the family, the family farmer and the small business are going to have to figure out a common sense way to make more cuts or increase revenue. (Get a second job, log some timber, board some horses, freeze some wages, get more efficient, etc) In other words, WE THE PEOPLE point out the obvious to you career politicians of both political parties: Either trim the fraud and waste http://bit.ly/c74h6m or increase taxes. (But using small business common sense, you would be stupid to price yourselves out of the market http://bit.ly/d6JLFU .)
(Maybe these 3 examples of small business, family farm, and middle class family common sense are why the Founding Fathers, wanted citizen politicians and not Career Politicians. Career Politicians have no common sense.)
ATTENTION ALL YOU SMILING FACED http://bit.ly/8Vglxu , BACKSTABBING http://bit.ly/9NXAo0 , DUPLICITOUS POLITICIANS - STOP TRYING TO RULE #WETHEPOPLE AND START REPRESENTING #WETHEPEOPLE PER THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS OF THE USA AND OUR STATE.
If you can't render change in the best interests of WE THE PEOPLE, please get the heck out. Please resign, or at the very least, do not seek reelection. WE THE PEOPLE don't want to hear excuses; Excuses are like ears, everyone has a couple. For you Government Union Apparatchiks that recommended these acts of terror upon WE THE PEOPLE, I hear Kim Il Sung is hiring in North Korea.
That was my patriotic rant for today.
I write this article with the same intentions as Thomas Paine http://ushistory.org/paine. I seek no leadership role. I seek only to help the American People find their own way using their own “Common Sense” http://amzn.to/kbRuar
Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking the time to read and reflect upon what I have written.
Those were my thoughts.
In Liberty,
