A new explanation of Anarchist organization

uses some common sense analysis of both technological advances and people’s changing attitude toward the role or government. The author also looks at the way the banks have controlled the government up to this point. This financial model is shown to be at the breaking point for various reasons.

Rather than a doom and gloom book this is an optimistic look forward toward a future that will be beyond our wildest imaginations.

Understanding the above, the National Conciliation proposal is based on the ...

Entitlement programs have become an unsustainable financial strain on every developed economy, dragging those economies to the precipice of the fiscal cliff—if they haven’t already fallen off. This book’s theme is that when politicians set up entitlement programs to provide welfare, health care and pension benefits to certain populations, they overpromise benefits, underfund the programs, and misalign incentives—if not initially, then soon afterward. Over time, future elected officials expand the programs to cover more people with richer benefits, far outpacing the financing needed to sustain them. This book exposes those practices and provides actuarially sound long-term solutions.

So, if you want to learn about socialism the best way is to ask a socialist. We will begin by asking:

This is a continuation from Volume I, the criminal complaint filed with eighty members of Congress on January 1, 2006 that detailed with clarity and precision on exactly what the IRS does that violates the provisions of the Tax Code. Comes now the supplemental briefing (2014) and a sample appellate briefing of two key arguments from the original complaint of 2006.
