State of the Union

It's that time of the year again.

I sure with a President would stand up and say...

Locking down entire states profoundly hurt people, and we are going to be dealing with negative results of lockdowns for a long time. It should never happen again. The People should never let it happen again.

We are public servants. We are the employees of The People. Our powers are delegated to us by The People.

We must stick to the powers enumerated in the Constitution.

We are a Union of States.

Some powers should not be exercised at the federal level, but rather the state level.

However, none of us here in the federal government, nobody in your state government, nobody in your county or city government are your parents. We aren't your sibling. We aren't your boss. We are your employees. We are public servants.

It is up to you, and the connections you make with family, friends, neighbors, in voluntary organizations, to make your life the way you want it.

If you want this country to be strong, you'll make yourself as healthy and strong as you can. You'll make strong connections with others, you'll treat people right. You'll learn how to defend yourself and the innocent. You'll earn your money, invest it wisely, engage in prudent charity, and hold your public servants accountable. 

Everything anyone has is a result of someone putting in the work, and likely some trading, and perhaps some gifting and charity. It doesn't magically come from government or some big business. It takes work.

Government should take away as little of what someone earned as possible.

If someone has told you something different from any of these, they're trying to sell you lies.


It will never happen.
