Horowitz: It’s time for revolt against intolerable and indefensible tyranny – By Daniel Horowitz (Conservative Post) / April 13, 2020
We no longer have a government that is legitimately deriving its powers from the consent of the American people on any level. Illegal aliens and criminals are getting standing in court for benefits while we are suffering from the worst tyranny in our nation’s history. When will the American people rise up?
Our Founders fought the concept of “taxation without representation.” Shouldn’t we rise up against government worker compensation without representation until this coronavirus fascism is ended?
One thing is clear: After this economic Hiroshima has settled, all jobs will be gone except for government jobs. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, every government worker – regardless of how important and essential his job is at any time, much less at a time like this – will receive 100 percent of his salary. Yet all those small businesses and the lifetime of dreams, tears, toil, and sweat that went into them will be gone. Isn’t it time for government officials to share in the pain of the shutdown their bosses are imposing on the private sector? To that end, the citizenry must rise up and demand that their county councilmen, state legislators, and Congress convene and pass the following propositions:
- All top government officials should not get paid until this is over.
- State taxes should be suspended.
- All nonessential government workers should have their salaries and hours cut back 30 percent for every week this goes on.
- All county councilmen and state legislatures must permanently strip executives of emergency powers beyond 24 hours without consent from a legislative body.
- No regulations on individuals or family activities that are not in violation of CDC distancing guidelines.
- No federal bailouts for the states.
Putting the economic effects aside, the assault on our way of life is even worse. This virus, coming from China, has turned us into China. Just over the past few days, we have witnessed the Michigan governor ban all travel to a friend or relative’s home. The same governors who would sue the president for banning travel from countries with terrorists now violate the most inalienable right of freedom of movement.
