Government Corruptness. When do "We The People" Yell Enough!

One has to sometimes marvel at the sight of politicians and their ilk when they are caught with their pants or panties down. They lie, cover up, mislead or change the subject to cover their asses. Their lapdogs in the press steer as well as the “advisers"  (I refer to the completely asinine defense of the Golfer in Chief by the nimrod Axelrod below as the perfect example) away from a subject or try as always to shift the blame and as they believe their indoctrination of the electorate is such that they will continue to swallow the bullshit.  But then, what should one expect when their sad sack leader himself, after being asked a question about the IRS AFTER AN IRS REPRESENTATIVE ADMITTED WRONGDOING ON THE AGENCY’S PART, starts his answer with “if these events occurred”! 

Moron Alert! Yo Obama! Your agency admitted wrong doing and after the fact you inject the words “if they did it”? What am I drinking here? Is it me or do you really want me to believe this kind of balderdash? You learned it from the news? That could very well be the biggest line of horse shit fed to the public in eons! And you expect respect from people who can do simple things like read, analyze and figure out the truth? You hold your elitist ass as so superior that you and most politicians actually now believe that the public will buy the lies! So what do you do? You double down at Ohio State!

“PRESIDENT OBAMA: Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.”

 You have the nerve to tell us we should in effect reject the truth and follow you in lemming style to the abyss, never questioning the fact that in the end you are nothing but a lying no count! How dare you lecture me as to what I should think and question. Just who in the hell do you think you are? And don’t feed me that shit that you are the President! A real President of this country would be extolling the very virtues you are trying to squash!

Let’s look at a couple of things that are a clear indication of a lost in space sad sack leaderless administration, one that puts their phony baloney power ahead of all else including this country’s guiding principles.

I referred earlier to the asinine statement by David Axelrod below. Basically he is trying to convince the public it’s not poor Barak’s fault. The government is too big and he can’t be responsible for everything. Bullcrap!!!!

“If you look at the Inspector General’s report, apparently some folks down in the bureaucracy, and you know we have a large government, took it upon themselves to shorthand these applications for tax exempt status in a way that was, as I said, idiotic, and also dangerous because of the political implications,” [David] Axelrod said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“Part of being president is there’s so much underneath you because the government is so vast,” he added. “You go through these [controversies] all because of this stuff that is impossible to know if you’re the president or working in the White House, and yet you’re responsible for it and it’s a difficult situation.”

And then we have this. I mentioned earlier how our so called fearless leader used the words “if these things happened” in response to a question about the IRS. Something that had been going on for over a year and he learned about it in the news? Incredible bullcrap!!!!

From Scared Monkeys:

President Barack Obama was asked a simple question yesterday about whether he or anyone at the White House had known about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups? The response Obama replied with was a contorted, conglomeration of legally approved words, “Clintonian” parsing of words that resembled  more the final 12 times edited Benghazi talking points than a proper answer to the question he was asked.  Obama stated, “I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the IG report before the IG report had been leaked through the press.”

And there is the blurb from the Washington Free Beacon bolstering my “what kind of clueless moron is in the White House” premise:

(Washington Free Beacon) Lately the top officials of the executive branch have seemed always to be in another room, on another call. Hillary Clinton says she was not aware of cables warning of lax security in Benghazi. Eric Holder says he is not sure when he recused himself from the investigation into the AP leak, or if he told the White House, or, really, of anything. Obama says he learned about the IRS IG investigation from the news. He says the Benghazi talking points were a matter of dispute between State and CIA, not the White House. A Martian reading the statements of senior officials on subjects of public controversy would conclude that the U.S. government operates at the whims of midlevel career personnel. But why pick on Martians. Chris Matthews concludes the same thing: “The steering wheel doesn’t control the car anymore.”

Now of course the administration would want us to believe that they are not covering up but in fact were too stupid to realize what was going on. After all, unless they saw the news, how could they have known!

This from the USA Today, hardly a bastion of conservatism for sure:

The Internal Revenue Service, apparently determined to get out ahead of an inspector general report critical of its handling of tax exemptions for Tea Party groups, came up with a plan: Lois Lerner, the official responsible for the tax-exempt division, would publicly apologize in response to a question at the American Bar Association conference in Washington.

Details of the now-infamous planted question emerged Friday after acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller admitted the gambit under questioning from members of the House Ways and Means Committee.

After talking to Miller, Lerner called Celia Roady, a Washington tax lawyer whose office is immediately across Pennsylvania Avenue from the IRS headquarters. She also serves on the IRS Advisory Committee on Tax-Exempt and Government Entities.

Roady released this written statement late Friday explaining her role:

"On May 9, I received a call from Lois Lerner, who told me that she wanted to address an issue after her prepared remarks at the ABA Tax Section's Exempt Organizations Committee Meeting, and asked if I would pose a question to her after her remarks. I agreed to do so, and she then gave me the question that I asked at the meeting the next day. We had no discussion thereafter on the topic of the question, nor had we spoken about any of this before I received her call. She did not tell me, and I did not know, how she would answer the question."

And so that's how it happened. Within minutes, the Associated Press reported her remarks with a one-line news alert: "WASHINGTON (AP) — IRS apologizes for inappropriately targeting conservative political groups in 2012 election."

In a conference call with reporters later that day, Lerner emphasized that her apology came in response to a question. 

"I was asked a question at the ABA meeting to give a status update of things that have been in the press" about the agency's treatment of Tea Party groups, she said. .Asked why the IRS chose that day to make an apology that day, she said, "Someone asked me a question today, so I answered it."

And last but not least, let’s not forget our sterling example of an Attorney General, one who is supposed to uphold our laws but for some reason feels the laws do not pertain to him and Fearless Leader: 

“During his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Attorney General Eric Holder said there is nothing in writing verifying he actually recused himself from the Associated Press phone records seizure scandal. 

“We looked,” Holder said when being questioned by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA). “I don’t think there is anything in writing with regard to my recusal.” Lofgren was asking Holder to explain why Deputy Attorney General James Cole had the authority to authorize the subpoena to secretly seize phone records of at least 20 AP reporters and editors over a two month period when federal code requires the Attorney General himself to sign off on such a subpoena.

Holder said that upon his recusal, the power was technically delegated to Cole, who became the acting Attorney General on this investigation.

But later in the hearing, during questioning from Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), Holder said he does not remember when he recused himself. “I’m not sure,” Holder answered when Smith asked him on which date he recused himself. “I think it was the beginning of – I don’t know exactly when.

Holder said the only person he told he told about his recusal was Cole. When Smith asked whether he did that “formally, or in writing,” Holder replied “no.”  

When all is said and done, what do we have here? Stupidity?  Ineptness? Aloofness? Incompetance? A lack of leadership? All of the above? No! This is what is called Incredible Bullshit!!! And we the people have allowed this cancer to fester in our halls of government far too long! The President of the United States lied! The Secretary of State lied! The Attorney General lie!. It goes on and on and we let it happen! What in the hell is wrong with us? Is the loss of our freedoms and rights just another “oh well” moment. I for one will rot in hell before I shut up as Herr Commandant demanded in his Ohio State speech and give up my rights to question a corrupt political entity!

Pieces of the below I used in comments on other sites, but I want to share it to wrap this up.

There is a line in the movie 2010 after which Dr. Floyd is shown a directive from the NSA which goes something like this. “Hal was told to lie by people who find it easy to lie” In so many cases this has been the M.O. of the people in politics, party be damned. Lie about it and if caught feign ignorance or in other words “Lie About it!” And we the people have allowed our government to become the cesspool of corruption we are now witnessing. Not only do those responsible for these lies and actions need to be held accountable but so must an electorate that chooses to ignore the obvious and abrogate their responsibility as voters. I realize I harp on this point a lot, but it is fact. When all is said and done, these things happen because we allow it and just how pathetic is that?

As usual, morons like Axelrod for example put out anything to point blame away from illegalities! The President of the United States, The Secretary of State and the Attorney General lied! And once the IRS “admitted” wrong doing that had been going on for years, the scum bag in the Oval Office says, “If this happened”! Lies are lies and illegality is illegality! No one, not the IRS or the dictator “wanna” be has the right to the information demanded by the IRS! No one has the right to demand that an entity sign a promise to not “protest” outside an abortion clinic as was one of the demands by the IRS to a group requesting tax exempt status! No one has the right to ask the “content of one’s prayers! The IRS broke the law and as I hold most politicians in disdain anyway, one has to assume they acted on orders (maybe “strong suggestions” would be the correct term to use here?) from a higher authority.

I am sick and tired of the left telling me what I am supposed to think and from my read on this the IRS in effect did exactly that as to conservative groups. Of course, one should not be surprised when Homeland Security names Christian and conservative groups as hate groups! Get off it! This is the tip of the ice berg and if the so called journalists who have now supposedly had their ox gored by seeing they can also be targets (I refer to the A.P. scandal below) get their heads out of their asses and do their phony baloney jobs, we could possibly get to the truth of these matters. However, if we’re going to continue to have so much of the public bury their heads in the sand, than all bets are off. 

The first Mayor Daley was ruthless. He went after his enemies with the exact same impunity this clown is doing in D.C. He felt he was untouchable and above the law and the media even back then gave him (and the Chicago Machine) cover for years. The parallels between then and now are staggering. Obama being both a product of what could be the most corrupt political machine in the country (Illinois) and an American Ideal Hating leftist ideologue to boot easily fills that profile.

I say one thing again though. Mayor Daley for all his foibles loved his country. This clown in the White House time and again shows his complete disdain for our heritage, our ideals and our citizens. He is what Kruschev predicted all those years ago in his shoe banging rant at the U.N. “We will bury you! We will bury you from within!” If what is happening now does not wake the public up to their basic responsibilities as voting citizens, then all is indeed lost.

One last thing, the A.P. record scandal. As all know, I have said in the past the co-opted media is front and center in any dictator’s usurpation of power. And once they are deemed to be not needed or possibly a thorn in the side of said dictator, they are expendable. In this case the A.P. published a series of stories based on “leaks” (I’m not even touching the fact that they purposely “leak” crap when they want for their own use) that put the administration in a bad light. Oops! Truth makes one the enemy of any dictator of any ilk. So one should not be the least bit surprised the dogs were set loose against the A.P. 

We are at a crossroads as a nation. Our founding fathers warned of this exact situation yet we the people have chosen to let things go. Well, they went alright, right to the edge of the cliff! We either stop it now or lose everything we hold dear. As someone once said (and I’m paraphrasing here), Liberty and Freedom do not come free! One must work at it and be ever vigilante. Unfortunately the press, those who are in fact supposed to be vigilant are too busy poisoning the minds of all backing their elitist hero. And let’s not even get started on the complete lack of education as to our basic principles, something that is now nonexistent as to our education system. The end result is clear. Either we stop the enemies of this country and its ideals, including the corrupt ingrained political scum of both parties or we perish as the Land of the Free! That is fact! Wake up America1 Your time is short if you don’t pull your heads out of your asses now!

People Died! Obama and Company Lied!

I have to say the events of the last week or so do not surprise me in the least bit. One only had to be paying even the slightest bit of attention to the Fast and Furious scandal to realize this administration along with the scum RINOs were more than willing to stonewall and openly lie so as to protect their sorry asses! It didn’t take a brain surgeon to realize that this sorry horse’s ass we call a President doesn’t give one damn about the public and for sure doesn’t feel the murder of a U.S. citizen amounts to a hill of beans other than to falsely promote his anti 2^nd amendment gun confiscation program. As anyone with a brain that is not packed in sawdust knows about this, I’ll leave it at that for the moment.

And of course we now learn the IRS has been targeting any group with a Tea Party/in effect conservative leaning label and just moments ago I now see that they were also targeting Jewish groups! The White house chooses to shrug their shoulders and say it is not their fault. After all, the IRS is run by two Bush appointees! Hip boots can’t keep the shit from creeping into my pants as the public is fed it’s pabulum for the masses consisting of lies and misdirection!  This is not the first time and administration of either party has used the IRS as an attack dog against those who are in disagreement with its policies and it won’t be the last. But don’t think for one moment anyone will convince me they were not ordered by someone in this administration or its party to do this! It might not have been ordered directly by the so called President, but as the titular head of the party and such, the bullshit line of “it’s agencies acting like they always do” is a crass reminder that this President doesn’t have the balls to take the final “the buck stops here” responsibility for anything! 

The two ongoing scandals above are just examples of a government out of control. This of course is the fault of not only the lying scum bags from both parties but in fact an electorate that cares more about Lindsay Lohan or some lurid murder trial or who won American Idol or whatever other asinine thing there is to care about (along with the I am owed everything mentality). And of course let us not forget the propaganda industry known as the MSM that even when the facts are there and open (as in the Benghazi disaster which we will discuss next) chooses to trumpet and in fact carry on the lies of this treasonous President and his sad sack administration! As the hearings unfolded Wednesday it was apparent to anyone who chose to open their minds that this administration from the President down lied to their teeth! Some call it political. Some call it moronic stupidity. Some call it miscommunication. Bullshit! The President of the United States, The Secretary of State, The Press Secretary and more all lied! And apparently the then Secretary of Defense had his head so far up the President’s ass that he also came out with some bullshit line as to “we couldn’t just send our people in there without knowing the situation”. We know they had real time video! We know they were told that the consulate was under attack. And we damned well know the “video” excuse was complete balderdash.

I want to make one point as to the above that I have not really seen any one expound upon much and if I am wrong on this assertion I would ask someone to please show me that. It is my understanding that for hours, one of the hero Seals reported he had the mortar position that was shelling the consulate “lit up” while they were begging for help. I understand that this means he had a laser aimed at the position which in turn a fighter could have homed a missile or whatever in on. It is also my understanding that as the battle lasted for some hours, there was in fact plenty of time to get an F16 over there which could have blown the sorry Muslim Al-Quida whatever they are called bastards directly to hell! Yet or Secretary of Defense said we couldn’t do that?! And what about our Commander in Chief, you know, the one who was informed and went to bed because he had to be up early for a trip to Vegas! Where and when does this shit stop and someone take responsibility? When do the lies stop? Ooops! Forgot! Our government is now made up of lying scum that the public chooses to believe over what was once the basic tenets this country was founded on.

I am embedding another fabulous commentary by Judge Jeanine from Fox News. She lays it out and says it so much better than I can.

 

Just remember this!

People died! Hillary Lied!

People Died! Panneta Lied!

People died! Susan Rice Lied!

People died! Jay Carney Lied!

And worse of all, PEOPLE DIED! PRESIDENT OBAMA LIED!

 Well after the fact he openly lied to the entire world in front of his anti-American allies at the U.N. Good Grief! How is it that even now the media and defenders of this treasonous bastard can in fact keep defending him with in the face of the facts? If someone can figure that one out it will be a first! The MSM has major scandals in front of it but is choosing to ignore it! Where is the bloodlust that was shown in scandals of the past? Where are the journalists? Where are the patriots? Where is the electorate? Someone has to answer this. American citizens were murdered and this President and others do not give one damn! Well I do and it’s about time this country gets its collective heads out of their asses and does something about it!

Judge Jeanine Speaks From Her Heart (and Mine!)

There is so much I want to say today, but unfortunately time is short due to work considerations. I do however want to comment briefly on the Boston Bombings. The fact that the leftist scum and the politically correct morons want us to believe anything other than the perpetrators of this event were anything else other than Muslim Terrorists is beyond me! I am not politically correct. I call a spade a spade and in this case Radical Muslim Terrorist scum committed this act. It is time for the people of this country to get their heads out of their collective behinds and face the truth! Read them their rights? Oh, he got cut from the boxing team so he went nuts? How is anyone supposed to believe such B.S? Yet this administration, the RINO and loony left scum continue to lie their asses off! ENOUGH!

I could go on for hours here, but I ran across this great video from Fox News and Judge Jeanine Pirro!

Please note: This is my first time trying to imbed a video. Bear with me if it doesn't work.

Judge Jeanine tells it like it is. She tells it like it needs to be to told! But most of all, she is one of the very few who is willing to put herself out on the line and not only say what needs to be said, but in fact voice what I feel is the opinion of the unfortunately silent majority here in the states, the ones who are so afraid of the vilification they might receive for voicing their opinions in a so called free society. Bravo Judge Jeanine and Thank You!

Dame Margaret Thatcher R.I.P

Things are indeed strange as I was just having a discussion with one of my co-workers as to who we would consider “Great Leaders” of our time when the news arrived of Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s death. I plead guilty right at the outset as I am and have always been one of her greatest admirers. I have read her complete autobiography twice now and have always found her to be not only in my mind one of the world’s greatest leaders of all time but in fact an absolutely fascinating person, one who was until the end a fighter.

 I personally feel that she along with Ronald Reagan  are certainly the 2 greatest leaders of my lifetime and am more than willing to point out conservatives of all ilk here in the states should step back at this time and remember what it was that made her and Reagan great! In turn take the lessons one should learn in that retrospective (that’s called history for those of you out there who are way to indoctrinated to understand the true meaning of it) and start demanding your elected scumball leaders get their heads out of their you know what’s and turn back to the guiding principles that she espoused and which in turn saved Great Britain just as Reagan saved this country from itself.

I’ve noticed already the hate and vitriol is starting to come out from the left as to this great lady, both here and abroad. Rather than my going into it, Rich Noyes at Newsbusters put down some of the insane comments from the loony left over the years aimed at the Iron Lady which I’ve reprinted below:

"Mrs. Thatcher has proved to be an Iron Lady at home and abroad....And in the process, she converted 10 Downing Street into what's been described as an elective dictatorship."
-- John Laurence on ABC's World News Tonight, May 3, 1989.

"Thatcher has ruthlessly applied her conservative solutions."
-- NBC's Peter Kent on Nightly News, same night.

Correspondent Barrie Dunsmore: "Thatcher's ultrahard-line is no longer so much in fashion at home or abroad."

Gerald Kaufman: "People are sick and tired of her for the same reason that they're sick and tired of her at the NATO summit. She's shrill, obstinate, inflexible, unsympathetic."

Dunsmore: "On European issues, Thatcher is opposed to everything from cancer warnings on cigarette packs to strict pollution controls on cars to teaching two foreign languages in schools....The satirists have always made fun of her lack of compassion."
Thatcher puppet: "We believe that people should be able to stand on their own two feet. [puppet steals woman's cane] So give me that stick."
Dunsmore: "Now the people on the street are saying it."
Unidentified Man: "I think that she lacks compassion.

Second man: "I characterize her as a very uncaring person, very uncaring person."
-- ABC's World News Tonight, June 1, 1989.

"The worst riot in central London in this century, sparked by a new tax here called the poll tax....But many in Britain believe the riots were also an expression of anger about a decade of Margaret Thatcher's policies. The division between haves and have nots has widened."
-- ABC's Barrie Dunsmore on World News Tonight, April 12, 1990.

"A Thatcher revolution has brought great prosperity to some, but such basic elements in Britain's welfare state as health service, education, and housing have all deteriorated under Thatcher."
-- ABC reporter Barrie Dunsmore on World News Tonight, November 20, 1990.

"Margaret Thatcher leaves behind a unique and complicated legacy. She came to office promising to 'renew the spirit and solidarity of the nation,' yet divided Britain between north and south, haves and have-nots, winners and losers."
-- Washington Post reporter Glenn Frankel, November 25, 1990.

"Thatcher is (one yearns to finally say 'was') an instructive example to Americans of what happens when the mechanics of a parliamentary democracy unite a right-wing extremist with an automatic majority of constitutionally docile legislators -- hell. In 11 years, she never could persuade a majority of her country's voters to support her, and thus her policies, for the simple reason that she and her policies never ceased being inimical to their welfare."
-- Boston Globe columnist and former reporter Tom Oliphant, November 28, 1990.

Reporter Jamie Gangel: "When pressed, Thatcher does say the only way she would go back to Downing Street was if there was some sort of national emergency, which she says she hopes will never happen."
Co-host Bryant Gumbel: "I'm sure there are millions of others who hope that will never happen, too."
-- Exchange from Today, June 30, 1995.

Co-host Katie Couric: "Does she [Queen Elizabeth] have any redeeming qualities?"
Kitty Kelley: "Indeed she does. In fact I think one of the most outstanding was when she felt that the economic policies of Margaret Thatcher were so harsh to the poor that she really did say something."
-- September 17, 1997 Today.

Finally as I state above, Baroness Thatcher was and always will be admired by me and in the common vernacular in fact be one of my heroes so to speak. She stood for everything I hold dear as did her cohort Ronald Reagan. I’m really not sure how to put it, so instead I’m going to let her words speak for here.

Please note, a shout out to the great Michelle Malkin who put this out on her blog this morning (and I lifted it in turn) and in re-reading it, I find there is absolutely no better way for me to express her greatness.

And from her speech to Britain’s Conservative Party Conference in 1975, Thatcher’s blunt and timeless diagnosis of the economic and moral ills of destructive left-wing policies:

The economic challenge has been debated at length in this hall.

Last week it gave rise to the usual scenes of cordial brotherly strife.

Day after day the comrades called one another far from comradely names, and occasionally, when they remembered, they called us names too.

Some of them, for example, suggested that I criticised Britain when I was overseas. They are wrong.

It wasn’t Britain I was criticising. It was-Socialism. (Applause).

And I will go on criticising Socialism, and opposing Socialism because it is bad for Britain—and Britain and
Socialism are not the same thing.

As long as I have health and strength, they never will be. (Applause).

But whatever could I say about Britain that is half as damaging as what this Labour Government have done to our country?

Let’s look at the record.

It is the Labour Government that have caused prices to rise at a record rate of 26 per cent a year.

They told us that the Social Contract would solve everything. But now everyone can see that the so-called contract was a fraud—a fraud for which the people of this country have had to pay a very high price.
It is the Labour Government whose policies are forcing unemployment higher than it need have been—thousands more men and women lose their jobs every day.
There are going to be men and women many of them youngsters straight out of school—who will be without a job this winter because Socialist Ministers spent last year attacking us, instead of attacking inflation.
And it’s the Labour Government that have brought the level of production below that of the 3-day week in 1974. We’ve really got a 3-day week now,—only it takes five days to do it. (Applause).

It’s the Labour Government that have brought us record peace-time taxation. They’ve got the usual Socialist disease—they’ve run out of other people’s money. (Laughter).
And it’s the Labour Government that have pushed public spending to record levels.
And how’ve they done it? By borrowing, and borrowing and borrowing.
Never in the field of human credit has so much been owed. (Laughter). End of section checked against ITN News at Ten, 10 October 1975.
But serious as the economic challenge is, the political and moral challenge is just as grave, perhaps more so.
Economic problems never start with economics. They have deeper roots—in human nature and in politics.
They don’t finish at economics either.
Labour’s failure to cope, to look at the nation’s problems from the point of view of the whole nation, not just one section of it, has led to loss of confidence and a sense of helplessness.
With it goes a feeling that Parliament, which ought to be in charge, is not in charge—that the actions and the decisions are taken elsewhere.
And it goes deeper than that. There are voices that seem anxious not to overcome our economic difficulties, but to exploit them, to destroy the free enterprise society and put a Marxist system in its place.
…
I sometimes think the Labour Party is like a pub where the mild is running out. If someone doesn’t do something soon, all that’s left will be bitter. (Laughter). And all that’s bitter will be Left. (Laughter).
Whenever I visit Communist countries, their politicians never hesitate to boast about their achievements.
They know them all by heart and reel off the facts and figures, claiming that this is the rich harvest of the Communist system.
Yet they are not prosperous as we in the West are prosperous, and they are not free as we in the West are free.
Our capitalist system produces a far higher standard of prosperity and happiness because it believes in incentive and opportunity, and because it is founded on human dignity and freedom. (Applause).

Even the Russians have to go to a capitalist country, America to buy enough wheat to feed their people. And that aftermore than 50 years of a State controlled economy.
Yet they boast incessantly while we, who have so much more to boast about, forever criticise and decry.
Isn’t it time we spoke up for our way of life? (Applause) After all, no Western nation has to build a wall round itself to keep its people in. (Applause).

So let us have no truck with those who say the free enterprise system has failed. What we face today is not a crisis of capitalism, but of Socialism. No country can flourish if its economic and social life is dominated by nationalisation and state control.
The cause of our shortcomings does not therefore lie in private enterprise. Our problem is not that we have too little socialism. It is that we have too much.
…
THE FREE SOCIETY AND THE ECONOMY
A man’s right to work as he will to spend what he earns to own property to have the State as servant and not as master these are the British inheritance.
They are the essence of a free economy. And on that freedom all our other freedoms depend. (Applause). End of section checked against ITN Early Evening News, 10 October 1975.
But we want a free economy, not only because it guarantees our liberties, but also because it is the best way of creating wealth and prosperity for the whole country.
It is this prosperity alone which can give us the resources for better services for the community, better services for those in need. (Applause).

By their attack on private enterprise, this Labour Government have made certain that there will be next to nothing available for improvements in our social services over the next few years.
We must get private enterprise back on the road to recovery, not merely to give people more of their own money to spend as they choose, but to have more money to help the old and the sick and the handicapped.
The way to recovery is through profits. Good profits today, leading to high investment, well-paid jobs and a better standard of living tomorrow. (Applause).

No profits mean no investment, and a dying industry geared to yesterday’s world.
Other nations have recognised that for years now. They are going ahead faster than we are; and the gap between us will continue to increase unless we change our ways.
The trouble here is that for years the Labour Party have made people feel that profits are guilty-unless proved innocent.
But when I visit factories and businesses I do not find that those who actually work in them are against profits. On the contrary, they want to work for a prosperous concern. With a future—their future. (Applause).

Governments must learn to leave these companies with enough of their own profits to produce the goods and jobs for tomorrow.
If the Socialists won’t or can’t there will be no profit making industry left to support the losses caused by fresh bouts of nationalisation.
And if anyone says I am preaching laissez-faire, let me say this.
I am not arguing, and never have argued, that all we have to do is to let the economy run by itself.
I believe that, just as each of us has an obligation to make the best of his talents so governments have an obligation to create the framework within which we can do so. Not only individual people, but individual firms and particularly small firms. (Applause).

Some of these will stay small but others will expand and become the great companies of the future.
The Labour Government have pursued a disastrous vendetta against small businesses and the self-employed. We will reverse their damaging policies. (Applause).
…
EQUALITY
Now let me turn to something I spoke about in America.
Some Socialists seem to believe that people should be numbers in a State computer. We believe they should be individuals.
We are all unequal. No one, thank heavens, is like anyone else, however much the Socialists may pretend otherwise.
We believe that everyone has the right to be unequal but to us every human being is equally important.
Engineers, miners, manual workers, shop assistants, farm workers, postmen, housewives—these are the essential foundations of our society. Without them there would be no nation. (Applause).
But their are others with special gifts who should also have their chance, because if the adventurers who strike out in new directions in science, technology, medicine, commerce and industry the arts are hobbled, there can be no advance.
The spirit of envy can destroy. It can never build…
