| Collapse all
- You are the best person to control your life. I am the best to control mine. As long as you are not affecting others or harming children, you do you. The government should not interfere in the lives of the individual or steal resources from its citizens. Government belongs to its Citizens, NOT the other way around.
- Talk to your neighbors. Get involved with your community. Join local service organizations such as Elks, Knights of Columbus, VFW, AOH, Rotary, etc. Let’s build our communities up instead of hiding away from each other. We know our neighborhood. To the government, we are just numbers. If we don’t help each other because we are waiting on the government, help will never come.
- As an individual, you are the smallest minority. As an individual, you can set an example for your peers. As an Individual, you can educate and elevate those around you.
When you find like minded individuals, you can start a movement. Movement gains momentum.
Momentum moves mountains.
Property taxes should be a minimal for residences. Property Tax should not be levied on vehicles as they are taxed at purchase and when refueled.
-The Brehon Laws of ancient Ireland are the basis of my legal philosophy.
-Common Sense by Thomas Paine and The American Manual from Joseph Bartlett Burleigh on how a Citizen should interact with their government.
-1984 by George Orwell, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, and Mein Kampf should all serve as warnings to the free world not playbooks for those in Government.
-The autobiographies of Ben Franklin and Malcom X to understand the American Experience.
-Because of Malcom X, I strongly suggest reading the Dictionary. The bigger the better. The plot sucks, the characters need development, but it is a miniature encyclopedia that allows you to elevate your knowledge and vocabulary. Knowledge IS Power.
St Patrick, His confession and Other Works by Fr. Neil Xavier O'Donoghue, The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff , The Philosophical Strangler by Eric Flint, and How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill are annual reads. They feed my soul and connect me with my ancestry.

Budget
We are extremely over taxed for the goods and services that are reported by the government. If we reduce the size of government and institute safeguards around spending to prevent fraud and waste, we can easily reduce the deficits and lighten or remove the tax burdens of our citizens.
I am watching President Milei's example in Argentina to see if that is the philosophy of action we need here.
