The road to prosperity from the edges of the cliff.

     With all the talk of the fiscal cliff as of late I wanted to share my thoughts on it briefly. The cliff has been there from the moment we enacted the ability to tax individual citizens. It has been there since America decided to reign supreme among the many sovereign nations, countries and states all around the world, it has been there since the congress gave away their duty to set weights and measures, the standard of gold conversion, and the officiating of new monies printed or coined. The cliff was there in 1913 when the federal reserve began counterfeiting our currency, controlling interest rates and having a monopoly on the monetary markets. The cliff has always been there, we have been on the road to this cliff for generations now, the problem lies not with the existence of the cliff or the fact that we are on our way there but on the speed and direction of travel to the cliff. We have in many ways accepted the fate in which we are faced with, we have not slowed progress but have increased speed, we have not changed our course there, we have simply let go of the wheel. 


     I have 2 possible scenarios that could and somewhat should play out. 1 unbuckle the seat belt and jump, yeah it's going to hurt , we may bleed or even break a few bones but isn't  that better than landing on top of Greece and Spain at the bottom of this cliff and being a dead economy. 2. Is possibly the most extreme out there. I say let it be, let us fly off the cliff and see what happens, if we somehow survive the plunge and the fiery crash at the end, we may for just a brief moment on the way down have a semi conscience epiphany and learn something great, something that we can use if we manage to survive. 


     We can change the course of history right now. We can jump out of the car or we can ride it to the bottom and hope to learn. Either way we go we all go together, we can't leave people in the car if we decide to jump and we can't have people jumping if we decide to ride it out. We all made this mess we all get to enjoy the consequence of it. It is the duty of every individual to know why we are here and what to watch out for in the future, it is your duty to act to stop fiscal stupidity and arrogance, it is your duty to hold responsible the actions of those that you have placed into power to represent you and your way if life. Iceland is a great example of what I mean. They took care of the problem not the effects of those problems. They are rebounding faster than any other country on earth. We can follow their example and start anew, we can take control of this situation right now and begin to see prosperity once again, we can reinstate America as one of the strongest AND most free nations on earth. Join with your fellow Americans and fight for a better way of life, live with us and by our sides as one people of a great nation and I promise you, you will gain the experience, the skills, the responsibility and the wisdom to continue prosperity into future generations of your family lines.
