I'd be willing to pay a little more if they would just send me a simple bill every year and let me dispense with my accountant.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-47768879093883265242013-05-17T22:24:53.654-05:002013-05-17T22:24:53.654-05:00Republics are a great Absurdity and I agree, by ma...Republics are a great Absurdity and I agree, by making absolutely everything political and giving all the power to electi4ed officials, you should expect this sort of thing.<br /><br />However, I will defend Obama, albeit tentatively base don the Principle of Innocence till proven Guilty. I will clarify by saying that I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that Mr. Obama really did order the IRS to suppress his political rivals, but without evidence I cannot say he did this for certain. I will say that, after taking a few Government contracts as a researcher, and knowing how Labyrinthine the system is, it isn't in my mind out of the question that Obama didn't know what was happening. He could have simply appointed the Higher ups who appointed the managers who appointed the middle managers which gave the orders. Still, though, its because the hiring policies fall on Political Lines that we see this happening. Obama appointed fellow Liberal Democrats, ho in turn hired other Liberal Democrats and used the IRS to promote Liberal Democrat Political Agendas.<br /><br /><br />Had we a King, and one who had he power to appoint his own ministers free of Political Squabbling, we'd see far less of this. No, it'd not be completely absent, as even Kings do err in promoting their own ideology, but as a King is not a Politician and not tied to a Political party, you have a vastly better chance of a more neutral decision on who to run what, base don more than just party affiliation and ho donated how much to what cause.<br />ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-72496789979937103552013-05-17T10:05:30.947-05:002013-05-17T10:05:30.947-05:00Great Post M.M.!

Surely we would all be taxed regardless of where we live, what government we have, and which time period we live in? It's the eternal guarantee of a state. In exchange for tribute, they in theory guarantee peace and security - the most basic social contract.<br /><br />Though otherwise I'm not surprised - President Hollande and his government are just as devious when it comes to using state power against political enemies. There was a riot recently, not a single police officer was deployed to contain it, but vans upon vans of special security forces are used to "protect" the Interior Minister when he is protested by anti-gay marriage crowds!

It does astound me that people in other monarchies can look at the record of the American presidents (keeping in mind that the American record is actually far better than most republics) and still think a republic is the way to go. They can lie to the public, steal from the public, plunge the country into unnecessary wars, even put thousands of innocent people into concentration camps and yet somehow there are those who still think that a republic automatically means more "freedom".
