As of this writing, the presidential election has not taken place. Yet we can confidently predict the outcome, because we have a unique ability to see into the future. Here are some of our predictions for the nation and Chester County, Pa.
We predict that the government will continue to try to solve problems by spending trillions of dollars that it does not have. The result will be cost inflation resulting in a hidden ‘tax’ on the consumer for many years.
We predict that the U.S. will continue to send thousands of soldiers to overseas bases around the world and will work to prop up despots and their regimes, often against the wishes of the local populace.
Spying on the American public will become increasingly easier, as networks and electronics manufacturers are pressured to allow our government to watch in secret, under the guise of security. Government power will continue to shift towards the Executive branch, as Congress avoids their responsibilities, because winning reelection is more important than working for constituents.
The Federal Department of Education will continue to exist, even though it performs no useful function. The FDA will mandate proof of drug efficacy instead of simple safety, slowing the development of desperately needed treatments. Most other federal agencies will continue to draft thousands of pages of rules, restricting progress in every possible way.
Locally, communities will be run by politicians in desperate need of a basic civics course. They will continue to pass ridiculous laws that attempt to sidestep the Pennsylvania and United States constitutions. They have been emboldened by members of the community who have begged to trade their basic rights for a perception of action and safety, along with a desire to control the lives of others. The right to assemble and property rights will be under assault by politicians with no interest in protecting our most basic freedoms.
How, you may ask, can we confidently predict all this before a general election? The answer is easy – because both major parties are virtually identical in any meaningful way. They seek power and the ability to retain it, pretending to offer a choice to the voting public.
We support Jo Jorgensen for president, along with the slate of Libertarian state candidates, Jennifer Moore for Auditor General, Joseph Soloski for Treasurer, and Danial Wassmer for Attorney general. We support them, knowing that winning would be challenging. We are voting for people of principle who continue to move us towards our right to live in freedom.
With every election the Libertarian Party grows in percentage of votes and members of the party. Nowadays we have High School students contacting us to learn about protecting our most basic rights. Eventually, we will replace these old, tired parties with something new and also something old. A way of thinking that reflects the thinking of the brilliant creators of the Constitution and our Bill of Rights.
Predicting the future actions of politicians that only repeat what they have done for decades is easy. Therefore, it is our job, and the job of the voters to continue to head us towards the light of freedom.
