The Government has failed you...Mission Accomplished!!

"For what we are seeing in New Orleans and the entire Gulf Coast region is the most egregious example of government failure in the United States since September 11, 2001."--Lew Rockwell, " The State and the Flood"

Our country would never survive in a Stateless society.

This is the charge made by people all over the political spectrum in the wake of the Katrina disaster.

Yet it was the State that caused the complete chaos in New Orleans that these Statists are using to suggest that we cannot survive without the State??

Lets examine the failures for a moment shall we:

1. Government mismanagement of the levees, not Katrina caused the flooding devastation that New Orleans finds itself in.

2. The roads themselves were not adequately designed to handle flooding so they were damaged, further delaying repairs to the levees.

3. The citizenry who lived in the area (those that lost their lives) were so dependent on the State that when tragedy struck they either didn't have the common sense, money, or both to get out of the way of the impending disaster.

4. The Government (yes the Government) actually blocked charities from entering New Orleans to tend to those truly in need.

5. People who had committed no crimes actually had firearms confiscated from them.

6. Government demanded there be no 'price gouging' at a time when private enterprise needed the most accurate information possible as to what the demands were for goods and services.

Even with all these failures of Government, people are seriously asking what Government can do to ensure this doesn't happen again??

Hello Mcfly! Government caused this mess!

Not only did they cause this mess, Government thrives on failure.

Everytime Government fails, it demands even more power to control your life.

Government requires things to fail to stay in business.

The market thrives on success.

As one wise columnist wrote:

"By its nature, the market system is success-oriented, while the state thrives on failure. But which model are people taught to despise and which to embrace as the means to their well-being? Will continuing to empower a system whose well-being is grounded in failure likely lead to any result other than the further decline of Western civilization?"--Butler Shaffer, "Failure Is the Health of the State"

I couldn't have said it better myself.

The Government has failed you...Mission Accomplished!!

Somebody needs to put that on a bumper sticker.
