What we shouldn't learn from China continued.

Sorry for the reminiscing everyone. I hate blabbing like that but China was such a fascinating experience. The worst part of my experience was the false sense of freedom these people were experiencing. The government right after Tiananmen square allowed the population to start their own private businesses. The black markets were sanctioned and made legitimate. Mom and pop shops sprang up in every neighborhood. The people seems genuinely happy, until they were in private.

They would tell you about how we were all constantly being followed. That neighbors were pitted against neighbor when the government needed and demanded answers. Every aspect of this freedom was regulated and controlled. Even their reproductive abilities were licensed by the state. Sound familiar. Regulated capitalism does not a free market make. Regulated freedom is not freedom at all. This administration is heading us in this direction. Terms like war on women, class warfare, war on the worker, these are all shouted out of this white house to split the power of the unity of this republic. United we stand(against regulation and over taxation) divided we fall (become socialist).

PU to the EU

I lived in England during my military service. When I lived there, there were very few channels. One of the most interested things to watch was Parliament during the prime minister's time. Back in the day it was John Major. I guy from really humble beginnings who I admired as conservative and practical. It never struck me until recently that the prime minister spoke often of of a classless society. A world with no rich middle or poor classes. Sure I wish everyone was rich, but what makes the rich rich. One, Invention and creativity. In a classless society any innovation is stolen from our geniuses to bring back balance. Two, sheer sweat and hard work. Again who wants to strive to anything other than the station they are in, if once you excel again it's taken from you to prop up a freeloader. Third, Inheritance. The accumulation of generations of the combination of my previous statements effort. Taxation is the way to punish this achievement of our ancestors.  What made the American way different? That all of those barriers were taken away in chains. Until 2008 and the election of BHO did the philosophies of the EU never dared to show its face here. I see that face and I want to give it a Dan Henderson H-bomb.
