THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED...

 

This country was founded by self-sufficient visionaries that knew one could better take care of oneself and family, if left alone by a big intrusive government.  They knew the responsibilities of government were to make sure they had the opportunities to do so without interfering with their abilities to do just that.

Yet; where have all these self-sufficient visionaries gone. I cannot find one at any level of government and government at all levels gets bigger and more expensive with each passing day. How do I know this...Governments continue to get bigger and more expensive; and limits my ability to choose...

Bigger and Expensive...yes! Look at the size and cost of governments now verse just 50 years ago; and total up all the taxes you pay...locale, city, state, federal, and fees/taxes charged by commercial enterprises. I did and found that 47% of all my income goes to paying these taxes. Taxes are way too high and totally out of the control of "We The People".

Making choices consists of the mental process of thinking involved with the process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one of them for action.

Most people regard having choices as a good thing, though a severely limited or artificially restricted choice can lead to discomfort with choosing and possibly, an unsatisfactory outcome. In contrast, unlimited choice may lead to confusion, regret of the alternatives not taken, and indifference in an intrusive and unstructured existence.

The Ten Axioms of Choice Theory

1. The only person whose behavior we can control is our own.
2. All we can give another person is information.
3. All long-lasting psychological problems are relationship problems.
4. The problem relationship is always part of our present life.
5. What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today, but we can only satisfy our basic needs right now and plan to continue satisfying them in the future.
6. We can only satisfy our needs by satisfying the pictures in our "Quality World".
7. All we do is behave.
8. All behavior is Total Behavior and is made up of four components: acting, thinking, feeling and physiology
9. All Total Behavior is chosen, but we only have direct control over the acting and thinking components. We can only control our feeling and physiology indirectly through how we choose to act and think.
10. All Total Behavior is designated by verbs and named by the part that is the most recognizable.

Making good choices involve making selections based upon values. Flawed or corrupt values make for bad choices. Traditional values have been proven more productive with far less undesirable consequences.  Progressive values have been proven less productive with far more undesirable consequences.

Which would you choose...???
