Either we:
- Shred the regulatory state and enable actual capitalism
- Tell the Federal Reserve to pack sand and to restore the safety of capital by “allowing” the market pricing mechanism to function:
- mark financial assets to actual market prices, not to self-serving fantasy accounting estimates
- claw back bailout money anywhere and everywhere it might be
- close insolvent banks
- prosecute rampant bank / Wall Street fraud
- “allow” people to work for themselves by actually “allow”ing them to keep what they produce; Imagine! How Radical!
Or, the forces of division will win, getting us fighting harder and harder among ourselves, fomenting class warfare. It’s going to get boiling-lava hot:

TAX and SPEND ALLEN at it again!
WHY ARE ANY T-E-A Parties endorsing Tax and Spend Allen.
He wants to RAISE TAXES on all of us, to pay for roads that most of us won’t use, for his POLITICAL GAIN.
TAX and SPEND ALLEN, at it again! And Shameful for any so-called T-E-A (Taxed Enough Already) Parties to endorse. When did ‘T-E-A’ spell ‘Tax And Spend’?
Allen wants to thieve taxpayers’ hard earned money AGAIN for his political gain. Tolls are simple and fair. User fees are simple and fair. If you use the road, pay to use it. If you don’t use the road, you don’t pay. SIMPLE and FAIR! Localities that want to protect their citizens and small businesses from the burden of tolls, can provide free or low-cost decals to residents and small businesses to reduce or eliminate the burden of tolls. That brings the decision back to where the FOUNDERS WANTED THEM TO BE: smaller local government! We thought T-E-A Parties were suppose to respect the Founders best intentions. Don’t you even know that most primary roads in Virginia were TOLLED to pay for them!? Are the T-E-A Parties random pointless blah blah blah, or does it mean something for real?
When did ‘T-E-A’ spell ‘Big-Brother-Government’ like the one George Allen favors. TAX and SPEND ALLEN wants to raise taxes on all Virginians to pay for roads for his POLITICAL GAIN. Contrary to the example of the Founders.
SHAME on Allen. SHAME on so-called T-E-A Parties.
