Freedom matters
The Truth About Hillary Clinton's Wall Street Speeches - Stefan Molyneux
Hillary and Bill Clinton made more then $153 million dollars for 729 paid speeches between February 2001 and May 2015 - receiving and average fee of $210,795 per speech.
Hillary Clinton gave 92 speeches with a standard fee of $225,000 dollars between 2013 and 2015, collecting $21.6 million dollars in just under two years.
Hillary Clinton said she holds public and private positions. In public she will say one thing and in private she will say another. This is the main reason Hillary Clinton refuses to release the transcripts from her paid speeches. Depending on what group she is taking to, she more or less will tell them what they want to hear. When talking to Wall Street firms or big corporations she will tell them she is on there side and when she gets into office she can help them. But in public she tells everyone else that Wall Street firms and big corporations are out of control and she will put them in there place. Hillary will have one position in private and another position in public. Basically she lies. She will just say what she needs to say to get elected depending on what group she is talking to.
The Wall Street firms and the big corporations pay her $225,0000 dollars for a one hour speech. The reason they pay Hillary Clinton that kind of money is not because she is the best speech giver on this planet. It is more a less a bribe so if she gets into office she can help them make even more money. This is just pure corruption.
THE DEMOCRACY SCAM:
In 1776 the founding fathers of the United States of America told the government that we are not going to obey you, pay your taxes, or do what you say. The founding fathers were considered to be criminals, traitors, and terrorists by the government back then. But today everybody cheers them for doing it and celebrates Independence day on July 4. But if people did that today, they would be treated as a dangerous lunatic and locked up.
People today imagine they have an obligation to obey government. This seems to work on most people because they do not realize how unfree they really are. The people are taught the lie that we are given the right to vote so whatever government does to you, it is really you doing it to yourself. Government tries to make this look like you have given your consent when you didn't.
The government keeps taking there money and keeps telling them what to do. They are duped into believing that they are free because they can vote and that is not what freedom is. You can vote between two people who are going to rob you and just because you get to vote for who robs you does not mean your free.
People need to realize that government does not have the right to rule. Victims of this gang called the government imagine an obligation to obey it. Government is an entity that is imagined to have the right to do things that individuals do not have the right to do. Such as steal and they call it taxation. Such as initiating violence and calling it law enforcement. Such as committing murder and calling it national defense.
Democracy is a lie given to people to trick them into believing that they have power when they don't. People have been taught to feel empowered by getting to vote for who is going to be the person robbing them. This does not empower you it empowers your new masters. Democracy is a game, a show that our government puts on so we do not have another revolution and it works. We timidly do what we are told and every four years we push a button to vote for who is going to rob us and nothing changes.
After four years people usually get fed up with the people they elected to rob them. Another guy comes along promising hope and change. So they vote for the new guy to rob them but nothing really changes. You still end up with a government that is stealing your money and telling you what you can do. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Some people may get angry when you talk about democracy being a scam because they see that as attacking freedom or there country. But it is important to not be so blinded by your patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it. Democracy is like a slave who refuses to rebel because he does not think he is a slave.
Why not vote for freedom for a change by not electing anyone to rule and rob us. But this idea is just too radical for some people to consider. They have been so indoctrinated there whole life into believing that they need a government to take there money and tell them what to do. It is hard for them to consider the possibility that they should be free to live there life as they see fit.

TAXATION IS THEFT:
If someone takes your money without your consent, it is theft. If someone takes your money without your consent and calls it taxes, it is still theft. To steal the money that I earned, is to steal my productivity, my time, and my effort. Which is the same as stealing part of my life. To steal part of my life is slavery.
Imagine getting a bill from a private business. For services you never asked for and may have never wanted. Imagine that if you do not pay whatever price this business decides. They can empty out your bank account, seize your assets, and throw you in prison. Now if any private business tried to do something like that they can end up going to prison because that would be theft. But for some reason if the government does the same exact thing. It is OK and it is called taxation.
Taxation deprives people of the money they earned, stealing there buying power, reducing there ability to provide for themselves and there families, and making them less able to support things that they care about. Taxation also forces people to fund things that go against there wishes. That conflict with there own values.
Government does not produce any wealth. What it spends it must first steal from the productive people through taxation, fines, civil forfeiture, or the hidden tax known as inflation. Your forced to pay for everything government spends money on, including the IRS agents that are robbing us.
Everything of value is created by the productive people and the political class can only steal and destroy. In short the good people have always supported the evil people and will continue to do so as long as they believe that they have an obligation to obey these crooks.
Taxation is no different then a mafia protection racket. Where that gang claims to be protecting you but that same gang will harm you if you do not pay up.
Politicians pretend to be serving you and representing you. But the politicians true attitude is obvious. They don't care what you want and they believe that they have more of a right then you on how the money you earn should be spent.
By portraying mass robbery (taxation) as the people paying there fair share of the cost of society. Thieves who have legalized there theft, can convince there victims to be proud of having been robbed and to resent anyone who was not robbed. This is just another example of how politicians use the tactic of divide and conquer to keep the people at war with each other. So they do not identify the real root of the problem. Which is government and the politicians who seek to rule and rob us.
MESSAGE TO THE VOTING CATTLE:
It is hard to imagine the way the world is really the opposite of what you have been taught to believe. Government has people thrown in prison for refusing to murder innocent people and call it war. You have people, treated like criminals and sentenced to prison for trying not to be robbed by government, which is called taxation. While you see the politician who gives away the stolen money to himself and others in the name of government, as a saint.
Most people believe it is wrong to steal, but seem to think it is OK if government steals and calls it taxation. Most people believe it is wrong to murder, but seem to think it is OK if government murders and calls it war. Now if you voted for these people, are they not committing these crimes with your consent. If it is wrong for you to steal and murder, why is it not wrong when you vote for someone to steal or murder for you. If it is wrong for you to do as an individual, it is wrong for government to do.
People are taught that certain people have the right to rule you. But no one has a moral obligation to obey anyone who harms you, steals from you, threatens you, or violates your rights. People need to think for themselves. It is never OK to do something wrong just because someone in authority told you too. You can't use the excuse I was just following orders or it's the law. Your responsible for your own actions. We can do as we please within our rights, as long as we do not violate the rights of others.
The people that deserve respect are the people who work for a living. Not the politicians who earn there money by stealing money from people with real jobs. Politicians are parasites living off your hard work. They are no better then muggers, pickpockets, or car jackers. In a way they are worse because where a regular criminal may rob you once. A politician will continue to rob you for your whole life. Some people refer to these people as leaders. Where do you think your going that will require you to have a leader?
If you live your own life, mind your own business, use your own talents, pursue your own dreams, and strive to be what you should be. What possible use do you have for a leader. What would make you think that you should follow these crooks. If people live their lives and don't infringe on the rights of others, we have no need for government at all. Most of the people who violate your rights are these so called leaders. The old definition of crime was an act harmful to another person. Today a crime is whatever government says it is and it usually benefits them. The only obligation you have is to do what you think is right. Not what some political crook tells you to do.

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE:
The great government lie is that it exists for the good of its victims. To obscure the truth, governments go to great lengths with propaganda intended to change the way we think and thus how we act. The greatest measure of what governments are capable of with propaganda is how much they have convinced us to identify with them so that anyone who challenges their power is seen as an enemy of the people. The most potent weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.
A government that violates your rights and commits theft, extortion, and violence, is a criminal organization. Once people realize that. They can rid themselves of the belief that they have an obligation to obey government. Then you can have free people who can decide for themselves what they can do.
FREEDOM:
Freedom is the ability to exercise your will within your individual rights without the threat of force from anyone else. If somebody is forcing their will on us, clearly, we are not free. Freedom is not just an ideal state of society, but a moral code for respecting the individual rights of others.
Because you own yourself, it is wrong for someone to initiate force against you or your property. Acceptance of this simple fact is the foundation of a free and peaceful society. This nonaggression principle applies to everyone, and it is therefore wrong for someone to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your individual rights.
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS:
- The right to liberty - I can do what I want, as long as I do not violate the freedom of others.
- The right to self-defense - I can defend myself, my property, and my individual rights.
- The right to own and carry weapons - So I have the ability to defend myself, my property, and my rights.
- The right to self-ownership - I own myself. No one can claim even partial ownership over me without violating my freedom.
- The right to free speech - I can communicate my opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship.
- The right to privacy - No one has the right to violate my privacy.
A SOCIETY BUILT ON FREEDOM:
A society built on freedom is based on the individual rights that all people have. People can do whatever they want within there rights as long as they do not violate the rights of others. Individual rights are rights your born with and no one can legally take away from you. Any law that violates your rights is null and void. Anyone that violates your rights is a criminal.
LAWS SHOULD NOT VIOLATE OUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS:
During the war for Independence, Americans overthrew the government for violating our individual rights. If we have the right to do something and the law says you can't do it, we still have the right to do it. We have no moral obligation to obey any law that violates our rights. We have a moral obligation to honor and recognize the individual rights of every human being that lives on this planet. No matter what the law says.
THE REVOLUTION CONTINUES:
In 1776 the Declaration of Independence condemned authoritarian power and empowered the individual. It argued that all people were created equal. That all people have individual rights. That our individual rights can not be taken away from us. That government power came from the consent of the governed. That government could not tax us without our consent. That the main purpose of government was to help secure our individual rights. When government violates our individual rights it becomes our duty to take away the governments right to govern.
But the revolution is not over. As long as some people claim the right to rule and others claim the right to be free, the revolution will continue. Final victory comes when people embrace the principles of true equality, non-aggression, self-ownership, and voluntarism. That is when people will truly be ready to be free.
VOLUNTARYISM:
Interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, theft, and threats.
LIBERTY IS NOT A BATTLE:
Liberty is not a battle that requires the conversion of others in order to win. Liberty is won when you accept the fact that you own yourself, that you have individual rights, and no one has the right to violate your freedom. When you accept that you are liberated.
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO VIOLATION MY FREEDOM:
- No one has the right to rob me.
- No one has the right to harm me.
- No one has the right to threaten me.
- No one has the right to violate my individual rights.
PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM:
1 - All people are born free, created equal, and have individual rights.
2 - Interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, theft, and threats.
3 - People have the right to self-ownership. Self-ownership means not only that you own yourself, but everyone owns themselves. The best way to ensure respect for our self-ownership is to respect the individual rights of others. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
4 - No one can claim even partial ownership over a person without violating there rights. Taxing people without there consent under the threat of force is robbery and is a violation of our rights. Free people get to decide for themselves how there money is spent.
5 - People have the right to carry weapons to defend themselves, there property, and there rights. We never have an obligation to let anyone commit aggression against us. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights.
6 - We have the right to seek leaders for ourselves but we have no right to force rulers on others. No matter how leaders are selected they are only human beings and they have no rights or claims that are higher then those of any other human. No one has the right to murder, enslave, or to steal. We can not give people any rights that we do not have ourselves.
7 - To help secure our individual rights, governments may be created, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it, abolish it, or withdraw there consent to be governed.
THE FREEDOM SOLUTION:
There are two kinds of people. People who prefer big government (statists) and people who prefer freedom. Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. People who prefer freedom, want to have a great deal of control over there own lives.
We should just let each group live the way they want too. If your a person who prefers freedom then you can have all the freedom you want, as long as you do not violate the rights of others. If your a person who prefers statism then you can have all the government you want, as long as you do not violate the rights of others.
We can do what we want, as long as we do not violate the individual rights of others.
VOTE FOR FREEDOM:
Vote for freedom by not electing anyone to rule and rob you.
People can seek leaders for themselves but they have no right to force rulers on me. No one has the right to violate my freedom.
People can pay taxes if they want but they have no right to force taxes on me. No one has the right to rob me.
I own myself. I can live my life and spend my money as I see fit.
