"Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights -- the "right" to education, the "right" to health care, the "right" to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are rations of slavery -- hay and a barn for human cattle. There's only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences."

"America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to "the common good," but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America's industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance -- and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way." -- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Author

"It is the invariable habit of bureaucracies, at all times and everywhere, to assume...that every citizen is a criminal. Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him."

"The sober people of America are weary of the fluctuating policy which has directed the public councils. They have seen with regret and indignation that sudden changes and legislative interferences, in cases affecting personal rights, become jobs in the hands of enterprising and influential speculators, and snares to the more-industrious and less informed part of the community. They have seen, too, that one legislative interference is but the first link of a long chain of repetitions, every subsequent interference being naturally produced by the effects of the preceding." -- James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President

Newly elected Reps. Kenneth Sheets, R-Dallas (right) and David Simpson , R-Longview, today endorsed the speakership candidacy of four-term House lawmaker Ken Paxton, R-McKinney.

It brought to four the number of Paxton's GOP colleagues who've publicly pledged to vote for him to replace incumbent Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, in January. Last week, as colleague Ted Kim posted here , Paxton got the blessing of fellow North Texas Republicans Jodie Laubenberg of Parker and Tan Parker of Flower Mound. And this week, national GOP bigwigs Mike Huckabee and former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey also urged Paxton's elevation as speaker...

Sheets, who knocked off Democrat Allen Vaught, said he wants to get the first vote he casts -- for speaker -- right. "His 'no-nonsense' conservative leadership will provide a solid foundation for the upcoming legislative session," Sheets said, calling Paxton someone who will "fight against the heavy hand of the federal government."

Simpson, who knocked off longtime GOP Rep. Tommy Merritt in the March Republican primary, said it's "no time to waste a conservative mandate" when the House's 99 Republicans next year can go with Paxton, a more right-leaning leader. "I was not elected to support government as usual -- to go along and get along," Simpson said.

"I'm listening to my district," he said.

Share your thoughts with David Simpson here : http://davidsimpsonfortexas.com/

I will post return communiques when received.

Sheets defeated Allen Vaught whose answer to The Question is here.

"Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked: 'Account Overdrawn.'" -- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Author

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." -- Dr. Adrian Rogers (1913-2005) 1931

"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."

"Taxation of earnings from labor is on a par with forced labor. Seizing the results of someone’s labor is equivalent to seizing hours from him and directing him to carry on various activities."

"The growth of federal power and programs over this century -- involving the regulation of business, the expansion of "civil rights," the production of environmental goods, and much else -- has taken place in large measure through the power of Congress to regulate "commerce among the states." That power has been read so broadly by the modern Court that Congress today can regulate anything that even "affects" commerce, which in principle is everything. As a result, save for the restraints imposed by the Bill of Rights, the commerce power is now essentially plenary, which is hardly what the Framers intended when they enumerated Congress’s powers. Indeed, if they had meant for Congress to be able to do anything it wanted under the commerce power, the enumeration of Congress’s other powers -- to say nothing of the defense of the doctrine of enumerated powers throughout the Federalist Papers -- would have been pointless. The purpose of the commerce clause quite simply, was to enable Congress to ensure the free flow of commerce among the states. Under the Articles of Confederation, state legislatures had enacted tariffs and other protectionist measures that impeded interstate commerce. To break the logjam, Congress was empowered to make commerce among the states "regular." In fact, the need to do so was one of the principal reasons behind the call for a new constitution."

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

According to the Tax Foundation, the average American worker works 127 days of the year just to pay his taxes. That means that government owns 36 percent of the average American’s output—which is more than feudal serfs owed the robber barons. That 36 percent is more than the average American spends on food, clothing and housing. In other words, if it were not for taxes, the average American’s living standard would at least double.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry stays course on film incentives despite advocacy group's criticism

re: "Not only have we seen a return of more than $500 million on our investment as well as numerous jobs for Texans, this program has helped Texas remain competitive" with other states in attracting these projects, said his spokeswoman, Lucy Nashed.

The citizen's of Texas are not pawns in Rick Perry's competition. A person's charitable contributions are not the concern of Rick Perry.
Leave the money in the pockets of those who earned it.
