There is no true accountability in government when the idea of violence is rejected completely. When we who are beneath self proclaimed republican forms of government, with ballot boxes, vote out those who rained debt and death upon our lives, are they who were replaced actually being held accountable?
Absolutely not! Those removed individuals usually walk away with nothing more than a mere slap on the hand. In due time they often return with even grander plans and bolder promises that they rarely intend to keep. That's not accountability. In fact that's simply the enabling of tyranny by ignorant voters and timid citizens.
If we want real accountability among those we choose to lead us then we must be willing to hold these individuals accountable at rifle point. Ultimately though that makes little sense if the sought after leadership were actually voluntary; for if it were voluntary we could say "no" and peacefully walk away. If we truly want real change so that we may know real hope we must reject the idea of centralized authority in the form of national governance. There is no greater responsibility in the maintenance of the individual's life than to be his own leader.
We have every natural and moral right to choose leaders for ourselves. We have no moral right to choose leaders for others. We currently perpetuate the legal right to choose leaders for others; but morality should always take precedence over legality. Morality is the basis for legalities. Therefore, if it is wrong to choose leadership for others against their wills then even republican forms of government are immoral.
So what are we to do about the trillions of dollars in debt that have been placed upon our shoulders of which we still bear the burden from as far back as the 1860s? That's for society to decide on the individual level. At some point the economy as we understand it in the United States will collapse due entirely too unsustainable spending, printing, and the generational continuance of placing the burden of problem solving on each successive generation.
The answer is simple but its accomplishment is terribly difficult. We cannot morally affect real change through the same system, we know as government, which encourages the immoral justification of the use of unwarranted coercion against others in the pursuit of compliance and obedience. We must teach each successive generation how to think critically, maintain personal responsibility, how to understand wealth and what the definition of liberty really is.
That is what Liberty Defined is all about.
