In the movie, Field of Dreams, the phrase, “If you build it, they will come” became popular. The phrase is catchy, it also contains a truism. That truism is that when you reward people, they will come around. In the latest conspiracy between the regime and CONgress, legislation has been forwarded that provides tax rebates to the subjects of the domain. There are many fishy things about the act, including how quickly it went through CONgress. The speed of its passage raises concerns about the seriousness of the financial situation in the empire. The democratic CONgress does not easily give the people’s money back to them. When they not only give it back, but do it with haste, you have to wonder if they know something that they are keeping from the public.

Besides the haste of their action, there are other concerns about their action. It seems that the legislation also provides refunds to illegal immigrants. The group known as ‘resident aliens’ are eligible for the refund. What is a ‘resident alien’? It is an illegal alien that has paid taxes and has not been deported back to the nation they came from. Rewarding them for their actions will only send the message that what they are doing is acceptable. Such action will only serve to increase illegal activity. People look at the cost and benefit. If the benefit outweighs the risk, then they will do what is being rewarded. Tom Tancredo has called it righ, when he labeled the stimulus package as a giveaway for illegal aliens.

“This package will stimulate one thing for certain: more illegal immigration,” said Tancredo. “It’s just the latest unfortunate example of American workers footing the bill for illegal aliens.”

Another old saying that has bearing in this situation is “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts”. The city of Troy saw this one too late. CONgress does not just give things without expecting something in return or having strings attached to it. Even in their gesture, there were many caveats to make sure that the rebates did not occur across the board, but rather only certain people in certain tax brackets will be receiving the tax breaks. The hope is that the subjects (I was going to say citizens, but I realize that the program extends beyond citizens to include non-citizens as well) will spend money and stimulate the economy. It may speed up the economy some, although the best thing the people could do is purchase precious metals and sit on them. If they used the rebate to purchase $600 dollars worth of pennies or nickels, they could melt them down and sell them for more than the $600 rebate they originally received. By printing more of the Yankee greenbacks, the value of them will decrease even more.

The action of CONgress tells me that they know that taxes are too high. They know that high taxes slow the economy down. A real solution would be eliminating some of the taxes. They could start by removing the ones that were implemented in violation of the Constitution. Rebates are not a real solution, it is only a band-aid.

It is labeled a stimulus package. The key question is what does it stimulate? The conspiracy of CONgress and the regime say it will stimulate the economy. The reality will likely be that it  stimulates illegal immigration. When I have unwanted rowdy neighbors in my yard, the last thing that is needed is to offer them ‘free beer’.

Free Texas!
