Gold bullion investments are sustainable, entitlements are not.
February 18, 2011 – The era of entitlement is over, and as we enter a new age of self reliance gold bullion investments will play an ever greater role in our prosperity.
Our government was designed to be only the protector of it people, and for 150 years it was the greatest government ever conceived. But over the past century we strayed far from the path.
Following victory in two world wars our government took on a military role far beyond the explicit intent of the Constitution. George Washington’s warning about foreign entanglements was not a plea for isolationism but rather an admonishment not to interfere with the affairs of other nations unless they pose a clear and immediate threat to our security. Our military presence throughout the world today is an unnecessary relic that only weakens the government’s ability to protect its citizens.
The government has also perverted its duty to ensure its citizens the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
No American should have to suffer for lack of the basic necessities, even when their situations are of their own doing. We simply don’t have the ability to accurately segregate those who have done their best and failed from those who have never even tried. But we have allowed the government to become our benefactor while we abrogated all personal responsibility for our lives. And we have paid for it with our liberty.
Liberty gives us the freedom to pursue happiness as we see fit, but it also gives us the duty to bear the consequences of the choices we make. When the government tries to shield us from all harm, we are deprived of the very things that make life worth living.
The big government experiment has failed; the time has come to take back our liberty. And the first step towards self reliance should be a healthy investment in gold bullion.
