What this country needs is a complete dismantling of government at all
levels.

Reduce government to defense spending only. Shut government down. We
don’t need it. Government serves no function that can’t be better served
by a pay as you go privatized system including firefighting and police.
Let everyone pay their way. Eliminate unemployment benefits completely.
Not only are they unconstitutional but they only incentivize laziness. Do
away with food stamps, such programs only encourage parasites. Do away
with Medicare and Social Security, not only are they unconstitutional but
they encourage government dependency at the time when people should be
willing to die instead of draining money from the taxpayers. if you
haven’t earned enough money in this great meritocracy to retire in style
it is your own fault, you should have skimped and saved and if people knew
that they wouldn’t have a government program to save them they would be
more frugal during their working years and ensure that they had enough for
their old age. If you can’t afford health care when you retire or if your
company is one of the hundreds that have filed bankruptcy to eliminate
their retirement benefits tough. You made choices, you should have
investigated all the possibilities and made provisions for such
eventualities. You should have long ago planned for the contingencies
associated with long term company supported retirement and realized that
companies just couldn’t afford such benefits and planned on not getting
them instead of believing that they would be there. Once government is
eliminated the taxpayers will no longer have to pay the huge retirements
and health care costs of police and firefighters who have some of the best
retirement benefits in the country.

This will free up funding for a private of the economy. Eliminate the
minimum wage and unions and reduce salaries across the board. The vast
armies of government workers will provide a reserve army of labor, and
competition for jobs in the private bureaucracy will dramatically increase
reducing salaries and labor costs all around. With these huge reductions
in production costs profits and stock prices productivity and profits will
rise precipitously.

We must also eliminate social security and all government medical costs
including Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA–these are all just bloated
government programs that encourage big brother style dependency. If we
want a productive country where every one is truly responsible for
themselves we need to eliminate any governmental residues. We also need to
eliminate government prisons and the armed forces. Many states have
already opened private prisons and except for a few escapes there have
been no negative effects and this has produced a ton of savings. Most
government prison employees are unionized by privatizing the system we can
bring the cost of incarceration from the nearly $30,000 a year we now pay
to something approaching $10,000 a year–a huge saving. Freeing up money to
build even more prisons and incarcerate hundreds of thousands more law
breakers who now roam the streets of our major cities.

Blackwater (now Xe) and other mercenary forces have shown themselves to
be far superior to government forces in nearly every area. Privatize every
aspect of defense. We are well on the way to this already, speed it up and
level the Pentagon, once we eliminate its trillion dollar budget and use a
meaner and leaner private force we will be on our way to really doing away
with government. End all military retirements. We owe these people
nothing, they have no right to taxpayer dollars any more than workers have
a right to life-long support from the companies who they have worked
for.

When people stop depending on companies and the government for their
future earnings, are completely responsible for themselves and have to
compete the country will be stronger, and we can finally control
government spending. We stop worrying about unemployment. We can celebrate
each new entry in the army of reserve labor as labor costs shrink with
increased competition between workers for each available job. With the
minimum wage eliminated employers will be empowered. They can simply call
in all the qualified applicants and auction positions off to the qualified
person willing to work for the lowest salary. Any worker who proves
inadequate can be quickly and efficiently replaced from the reserve army.
With no government largess for support, people will be much more willing
to work long hours for much less. Anything else is inefficient and
companies should not be strapped having to bid for qualified workers,
workers should be required to bid for jobs. This is the only way to ensure
that companies can operate effectively in today’s global economy. We
should give them the tools they need. Anything else is just punishing the
people who provide the jobs we all need and should be thankful to get.
