For anyone who’s bothered to watch the entire video posted in “I Pay All My Taxes, But… “
Danegeld
by Rudyard KiplingIT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation,
To call upon a neighbour and to say:
“We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray,
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:“We never pay any one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!”
But… but what if the “Danes” are ones own government?
In that case, one is, as we all are here, screwed.
Indeed, Perri. Screwed, blued and tatooed. *sigh*
If you look at the history of America over the past hundred years and are not able to see the workings of an agenda intended to strip individuals of the very rights that were fought for; well, about the only thing I could say about that would be the level of education at the public schools is doing exactly what it was intended to do, keep them stupid.
