Stop federal funding of State and local governments.

James Vardeman Bennett

STOP FEDERAL FUNDING OF LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS!!!!
Are you really going to let the federal government dictate how you run your local and state governments.
I know that just the thought of not having those federal funds cause's alot of local and state government agencies to break out in a cold sweat with wringing
of hands, and tears flowing freely. The problem with accepting federal funds is that the locality must submit to federal rules and regulations. So in essence your local government is not local anymore. Washington DC is in effect running your local entity's, ie schools, police, parks etc.
I am sorry but with the state of the federal government's debt and run away spending it is time that all government entities live within their means whether it be city, county, state or the federal government.
It is time to realize where the money comes from.
IT COMES FROM YOU!!!!
All of the federal money that they give back to local governments came from the tax payers from the locality that they are giving it back to, except now it has strings attached.
This is about control folks, controlling your local government entities through the threat of reduced funding or elimination of funding altogether. Setting the priorities for the locality, you may need classrooms for the school but money is only available for school buses.
Your community may be having trouble with thieves but the only funding you can get is for a armored vehicle.
Do you think that the people in Washington DC give a rats patootie about what your local problems are.
IT IS TIME TO CUT THE UMBILICAL CORD!
Below are some quotes with the website listed.
"the major components of general revenue for state and local governments in 2009 were taxes (52.7 percent), federal support (22.2 percent) and charges (16.1 percent)."
http://blogs.census.gov/2011/10/31/the-funding-of-our-state-and-local-governments/
"Only 11 states depended on the federal government for more than one-third of their total revenues in 2001. By 2012, 24 states found themselves in this situation. State-by-state data from the U.S. Census Bureau, compiled by the State Budget Solutions nonprofit, illustrates the trend of increasing state dependence on federal financial assistance. Forty-one of the 50 states have become more dependent on the federal government since 2001 — with federal dollars accounting for an increasing share of their total revenues. This trend of increased state dependency on Washington reduces state and local control, while threatening the states’ long-run autonomy."

1. Control health care and you control the people. 2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are p...roviding everything for them to live. 3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty. 4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state. 5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income) 6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school. 7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools 8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

The Guardians Creed

This is what I was born for, This was what I was raised for, This is what I studied for, This is what I trained for, For this day have I lived, For I am……Guardian. I know why I am here. I know why I wake up every morning with the satisfying feeling that I am a part of a greater glory. I walk this path because it is what I have chosen. I walk this path because any other would not be a viable option for me. I am on this path because tyranny has forced me here. I take up arms against the demons of chaotic evil to remain true to my own values. I ride the edge of a blade and teeter into the depths of peril because it is who I am. I maintain vigilance as a protector because that is my vocation. I exist to serve as the hammer of justice against the enemies of the just. I exist to act as an instrument of restoration of liberty. I believe in the common spirit that unites those yearning for salvation. I believe in the cause and I believe in me. I am the rogue thorn. I am the elusive difficulty that will never be overcome. I am the infection. I am the festering mortal wound that will render the wicked helpless. I am hope, I am integrity, and I am constant. I am the guiding light of truth and I am the retribution of murdered innocence. I am the torch of honor. I am the fiery might of valor and relentless defiance. I am the recompense of a thousand fears of villainy. I am the conqueror of darkness and the defender of the weak. I am the pursuer of freedom and I am the stalwart last stand of an ideal. I am one of many. I am a Guardian. Author unknown.
