Will Grigg’s Liberty Minute

February 26, 2010

According to a study published by the Pew Center, state governments are $1 trillion short of the funds necessary to cover benefits promised to their employees.

In some cities, such as Tracey, California, municipal governments are preparing to impose special surcharges and fees for emergency services that are already funded by taxation. These new fees are supposedly necessary to cover a $9 million budget shortfall – the exact amount, as it happens, that is spent each year in Tracey on employee pensions.

In Albany, New York, the police officers union is demanding raises even if that means hiking taxes in the teeth of a depression. Chris Mesley, the chief thug in charge of that union, bluntly declares: “If I’m the bad guy to the average citizen … and their taxes have to go up to cover my raise, I’m very sorry about that, but I have to look out for myself and my membership.”

Such open, predatory contempt for the public suggests that revolution is not only likely, but imminent.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
