🚨 WATCH: Dave Smith explains why limiting government requires abandoning the empire "We're in the middle of a dying empire. That doesn't mean it's impossible to abandon the empire and revive the republic, but those are the choices. There's no third option. We've gotten to the point where we... show more

🔥 Dave Smith: “We're $37 trillion in debt, and we're looking for another enemy to go fight. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, we've spent $20 trillion on empire and wars. And you know what? We can't tax enough money, to pay for it.”

MUST WATCH: "We have to acknowledge that we are slaves" "We are the only country in the world that is asked to go to work, then pay MOST of our money back to the government" "If we live to work, to provide most of our money back to the government... we are legitimately slaves to the government." "We exist to fund the government. That is not free."

ELON: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING AMERICA INTO BANKRUPTCY “The federal government is spending America into bankruptcy, which is crazy. That's really what leads to inflation, when the government spends more than it brings in, that's what causes inflation. It's just a pernicious tax. We have to radically reduce the amount of government spending so that we don't rack up a debt that is impossible to repay and drive the country to bankruptcy.” Source: Folsom, October 17, 2024

Elon Musk Says We Have to Cut Government Spending Immediately "The reality is that all government spending is actually taxation. Sometimes people think some of it is taxation and some of it's not, but it's all taxation, because the part that is not covered by tax revenue becomes inflation. So you're either taxed directly or you're taxed by inflation, but you are for sure taxed. And so all government spending is taxation. So we have to reduce government spending overall. This will be forced upon us in the future because already just the interest payments on the debt are 23% of all federal tax revenue. Just the interest payments. The interest payments now exceed the Defense Department budget, which is a trillion dollars a year. That's a lot of money." Elon Musk

The reason the government so insanely inefficient is that those in the government are spending your money on somebody else. That’s why we should minimize how much the government does. It is simply a giant version of the DMV!

"The appetite for out-of-control government spending that the Democrats possess is as insane as you can imagine!" "Let's make sure we can save this country, not for us, but for our kids and for our grandkids. And that's really what's at stake, is a fiscally sane country that our kids and our grandkids can live and prosper in!"

Elon Musk: All government spending is taxation. “The reality is that all government spending is taxation. People will think, well, government spending and taxation are somehow separate, but they're not. All government spending is taxation because the deficit is what results in inflation. And inflation is a de facto tax because it causes all prices to rise, and people trying to just live their lives have a lot of difficulty. But inflation, throughout history, has been used as a pernicious tax because it's like one degree removed, so people don't feel it directly. And then the politicians will try to blame it on something else. But it's all about government spending. Government spending is what drives inflation. So the key is we've got to reduce the government spending and if we don't, we're going to go bankrupt as a country. End of story.” Town Hall Harrisburg, October 19, 2024

“We spent $16 trillion on the lockdowns. We got nothing for it. $8 trillion on the Ukraine war. That’s $24 trillion that they had to print to pay for nothing. That money, the way they’re paying it back, it’s a hidden tax called inflation, and it hits the poor and the middle class” “We need to stop being an empire” When’s the last time you heard a Democrat coherently explain the harms of printing money and empire-building?

If you confiscated all the wealth of all the billionaires in the country--and let's just pretend you could actually liquidate it for that much--you would cover about ONE YEAR of federal government spending. As Dave Smith points out in his reply to this clip, we're not taxing our way out of this, and the idea that we ever had a Friedmanite government at any point is simply ahistorical. "Which year did Ronald Reagan cut spending? Oh, wait, it increased EVERY year?" We aren't going to fix this country with Hamiltonian economics. We need to embrace a Misesian/Rothbardian understanding of economics, and until the right understands that, they're going to keep losing to the left in the long run because they are fundamentally thinking of government and economics on the left's terms.

Mogadishu International Airport! To my Somali people: Do we really want to live in a country where our leaders are not held accountable by the law? Why aren't we taking a stand for our own rights? What happened to the taxes that you all pay? If the government is unable to take care of anything, then what's the point of paying taxes?

We are fighting for due process and it is working. For the first time, the US Embassy brought our concerns to the government of El Salvador. We're going to continue fighting and raising our voices because it's clear that that's how we make a difference.

🚨NEW: Antonio Gracias (Antonio Gracias) breaks down what he and Elon Musk discovered about the way money currently flows in Government (MUST WATCH) "The way the Government works a Department just asks for money from Treasury and they send it out. We all run businesses, there's a reconciliation process -- there's no reconciliation in the US Government -- that process is broken. Literally money is just flowing out. I used to ask myself why the Government numbers were always wrong. You just hit the button in the computer and figure it out. The problem is that that button doesn't exist. Nobody knows where the money is flowing. The Government has an Authorized Executive stamp a bill and then that bill just gets paid. The Department gets a budget authorized to it by Congress --> it goes to OMB --> OMB allocates a budget --> that Department then just sends a money request to Treasury to pay. It's not reconciled against what happened. There's no Controller. The reason it cant pass audits is because you can't pass something you can't reconcile."

Why do we have inflation? The Fed tries to force 2% inflation. It wasn’t always this way. “The natural tendency for prices is to go down. If you look at the CPI in 1900 and you look at it in 1800, it was down by 50%. So for a hundred years in America, prices went down. And during that time, we had the Industrial Revolution.” “We had the most rapid period of economic growth in the history of America, which was after the Civil War and into the early 1900s. All the time prices were coming down.” “Today, the Federal Reserve says that we need to have 2 % inflation. Prices have to go up 2 % a year. Why? I mean, why does the cost of living have to go up? Why can't it go down or at least remain the same? And what is the answer to that? What's the rationale for that?” “Well, they have a bunch of BS explanations and it's all to justify the fact that the government wants inflation. It's not that it's good for us. The government needs it.” “It's the way the government raises revenue and repudiates its debts.” Peter Schiff
