Five Easy Tricks for Saving Your Republic (You Won't Believe Number Three!)
Change happens slowly in Washington.
The endless bureaucracy, miles of red tape and general incompetence rivaled only by your local DMV, have all but ensured that our empire will collapse unless we get moving in the right direction.
I submit to you that the easiest way to effect change in America is to deliver the pain of liberal policies right to the very door of those liberals who support them.
With that, here are five easy tricks for saving your Republic.
End the federal income tax withholding system
Most people, but especially younger working Americans, have no clue how much they pay in taxes. They are paid by direct deposit, and have never viewed a check stub. Their tax money is siphoned from their checks bi-weekly without them ever giving it a second thought.
Admittedly, this was my situation until I became an independent contractor.
The first time I had to pay taxes as a contractor — in one lump sum in April — my jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe how much those bastards in Washington intended to rob from me. And rob me they did.
If everyone paid taxes this way, I believe that a vast majority, even the liberals who want to tax us to death in order to study the breeding habits of squirrels, or for opaque initiatives like “tackling climate change,” would be horrified to see how much money they’re losing.
It might just be painful enough to make them change their minds about those massive tax rates.
Allow women to be conscripted to service
I’ve always said that a nation that sends its women to die in foreign wars doesn’t deserve to exist. But this is a new liberal initiative, thanks to the “We Can Do It!” feminist crowd, as the Democrats have become the party of war in America.
Imagine the horror when the white, suburban liberal mom’s little girl has to don fatigues at age 18, and head to some remote desert sandbox to face a shelling from militants who have been duking it out for the same pieces of land for centuries.
No cushy college, no European au pair adventure. War.
Maybe the left would rethink its newfound interventionism.
Let trans “girls” play boys sports
I wrote a piece about this in American Greatness once.
Here’s an excerpt:
I can’t wait to see the video clips of Michaela, formerly known as Michael, windmill dunking on some unsuspecting girls’ varsity basketball player.
[Democrats’ advocacy for transgender sports] is significant because it is the first awful policy that will directly harm the “woke” warriors who voted for it. It will, in all likelihood, help accelerate the death of radical progressivism in America, and that’s a good thing.
If you think Karen asking to speak to the manager is a funny meme, wait until Karen storms into the principal’s office at the local high school, demanding to know why her kid is riding the pine while biological males take over girls’ sports.
It turns out, boys are better at girl’s sports than girls. When they start dominating in girl’s sports, you can bet the liberals will backtrack on this “socially just” issue.
Eliminate income tax for 18-22 year olds
For most people, college worthless. It’s a racket that will set you up with a lifetime of a debt for a degree that likely won’t be worth the paper on which it’s written.
Meanwhile, the money spent on college tuition is used by bureaucratic administrators to set up “woke” fiefdoms where they employ hundreds of people in offices of diversity, equity and inclusion. Since America is a fundamentally just nation, and those employees want to keep their jobs, they have to spend their days imagining up ways that America is unjust. It’s been a disaster for all of us. It’s why Dr. Suess is now a racist. (Wait till the left finds out he’s not a real doctor!).
By eliminating income tax for young people aged 18-22, we would incentivize them to avoid the communist cesspit of academia, and rake in the dough to get a head start in life.
Eventually, this idea would prove the worthlessness of college, or at least that you don’t need a college degree to be successful. It would drive down the value of those degrees, and fewer students would enroll to study subjects like “Why America Sucks 503.”
Relocate immigrants and refugees white, wealthy, liberal towns
This is my favorite easy trick for saving America. I’ve been advocating for this idea since long before Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) stole it from me in October. If we can’t deport these people, we should send them to the liberal suburbs.
A place like Nantucket, where former President Obama bet against “climate change” and bought a mansion a few yards from the ocean, would be a lovely destination for about 5,000 Somali refugees. These people love “diversity,” but I’d bet they only love it from afar.
We should stop sending them to the cities, where they can hide out in ghettos far away from the wealthy white liberals who live in those cities, and let them run amok in the wealthy suburbs of those cities.
Diversity + Proximity = Conflict.
Let’s see how quickly they give up on that agenda when the conflict comes knocking at their door.
