This morning we learned the latest GDP figures. It's good news that our economy is growing, but it's bad news that it's still only at 0.2 per cent. Earlier this week we got the news that unemployment is actually going up, and in March the Government borrowed more than it's ever borrowed in a month before.
Basil Venitis points out Great Britain is now Little Britain, a slave State yoked to Brussels. Its fall was inevitable, but the economic crisis will shrink the last pretenses of empire faster than anyone expected. Suddenly, the sun that once never set on the British Empire is casting long shadows over what's left of Britain's imperial past, and Uncle Ken(UK) rethinks his global role.
We're hardly racing out of recession - and that's why the big question running through the heart of this election is this: How do we get the economy moving? How do we get growth going? How do we make sure that growth is sustainable?
Venitis notes this is a watershed moment for Uncle Ken(UK). The country's public debt is soaring. The great engine room of British prosperity, the financial sector, now feels like an anchor. This is the record of spin, irresponsibility, and top-down state control. The glory days of London are now grinding to a halt. The main symbol of Britain's global might, London found financing for some of the world's earliest and most prominent multinational companies, and has had greater influence on global finance than Westminster has had on geopolitics. My great test as the next prime minister will be not only to redefine Britain's place among great nations, but also to adopt a venitist spirit.
And here there's a really big choice. Whigs say the economy will collapse unless they keep on wasting your money. Then, when things start getting better they want to impose a thwacking great jobs tax.
Venitis points out Tony Blair gets ten million euros every year from JPMorgan, just to pullpeddle its Greek-American president Jamie Dimon out of Greek jails for churning the nest eggs of poor Greek workers! His former ministers are not far behind. Steven Byers, a former transport minister, described himself as a cab-for-hire as he asked for 5,000 pounds(5,500 euros, $7,500) each day in exchange for using his influence with the government. Geoff Hoon, formerly defense minister, and Patrician Hewitt, formerly health minister, asked for 3,000 pounds each day.
Venitis notes the U.K. defense giant BAE Systems paid four billion euros in kickbacks to Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia for an eighty billion euros British-Saudi arms deal. The British government abruptly ended its Serious Fraud Office inquiry into BAE. The U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office has reportedly accused BAE of bribery in six countries, which should be enough to prompt an inquiry into whether BAE is in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a law banning companies that pay bribes.
Liberal Democrats say: well, they say a lot of things. First they said that the call from business to stop the jobs tax is nauseating. Then they said that the jobs tax is actually damaging and needs to be stopped, but they haven't got a clue how to do it. They're like a pair of designer flip-flops that fall apart after the first five minutes.
We say: this jobs tax will kill the recovery. Because here's something the other parties always forget. Government isn't the same thing as the economy. Real growth only comes when make it easier for people like you to start a business, take people on and grow.
So we're going to cut Whig waste, to stop their jobs tax. We have said we will save one pound for every one hundred pounds the Government currently spends to stop this recovery killer. And today, people running over 1200 businesses agree with our plans. They know, like I know, that asking government to save some money isn't asking too much.
Gordon Brown, leader of Whigs, has never shown he can lead a happy team and a successful team. He screams, throws tantrums, physically intimidates his staff swears at staff, grabs aides by the collar of their shirts, pushes aside secretaries who he felt weren't typing fast enough and taking over the keyboard. Brown's staff are afraid of him because he is always shouting at people, being unpleasant, constantly blaming people for things going wrong.
Brown took the top job in 2007 when former Prime Minister Tony Blair stepped down. Opinion polls indicate a loss for the Labour Party, with voters unhappy about the struggling economy and the number of troops being killed in the unpopular war in Afghanistan.
Uncle Ken(UK) monitors every phone call, website visit, text message, and email in the country, entering the information into an enormous database, used to catch terrorists, pedophiles, and scam artists. Most Britons see themselves as powerless cogs in a greater machine; as potential victims of a society so large and insensitive that they, innocent bystanders in the crowd, might be caught at any time in the crossfire between the forces of good and evil.
Venitist Caroline Cartwright from Wearside in the northeast of England was remanded in custody for having excessively noisy sex! The cops took her in after neighbors complained of hearing her shouting and groaning and her bed banging against the wall of her home. Cartwright has, quite reasonably, defended her inalienable venitist right to be a howler: I can't stop making noise during sex. It's unnatural to not make any noises.
Cartwright had previously been served with an antisocial behavior order(ASBO), a civil order used to control the minutiae of British people's behavior, that forbade her from making excessive noise during sex anywhere in England. If she wanted to howl with abandon, she would have to nip over the border to Scotland or maybe catch a ferry to France. It was because she breached the conditions of her ASBO, the civil ruling about how much noise she can make while making love in England, that Cartwright was arrested.
Saving money is what businesses do, day-in, day-out. It's called getting more bang-for-your-
I think you're going to feel a real difference if we win that election. There's going to be the unmistakeable sense that Britain is back open for business. Because we're a party that is instinctively pro-enterprise and pro-ambition - respect for business is hardwired into our DNA.
That's why in the years ahead we want to work with entrepreneurs and business leaders, not just to make Britain the best place in the world to do business but also learning from business and working with business to cut government waste. That way, we can stop this jobs tax, help people like you create more wealth, jobs and opportunity - and really get this economy moving.
But there's another thing that would put the recovery at risk, and that's a hung Parliament. The indecision and paralysis that would come with a hung parliament is exactly what our economy doesn't need right now. International investors would wonder whether Britain was able to deal with its debts, pushing up interest rates. Businesses would worry about even higher taxes, delaying much needed investment and destroying jobs.
You know that any business will flounder without leadership and direction - the same is true for our economy. We have a phrase for it in politics already - "no overall control". Well can you imagine an economy with a record budget deficit and rising unemployment where nobody is in control? That's why a Tory government is the only way to stop the jobs tax, deal with our debts and secure the recovery. And that's exactly what businesses need now. We need venitism now! If not now, when?
Venitism is a new libertarian paradigm, introduced by Basil Venitis, which integrates politics, economics, ethics, and spirituality. Venitists follow the Venitis Laws:
Venitis Law of Black Hole: Taxation is armed robbery that feeds the black hole of political corruption; it's the perfect index of corruption and tyranny. Only evil governments tax citizens and companies.
Venitis Law of Constitution: The only purpose of a constitution is to protect citizens from government abuse. Reform treaties of a confederation not voted by the citizens are null and void.
Venitis Law of Democracy: Every democracy is eventually hijacked by rabblerousers, pullpeddlers, clans of kleptocrats, bumptious bugaboos, busybodies, butterbabies, nabobs of nepotism, cranks of cronyism, pusillanimous pussyfooters, riffraffs of rascals, socialist sophists, and machiavellian mafiosi. Democracy tends to kleptocracy. Venitism should replace democracy.
Venitis Law of Depression: Only governments can cause economic depressions and funny money. Lower tax rates, a reduction in the burden of government, and elimination of kleptocracy and VAT are the only way to boost growth.
Venitis Law of Education: There is no direct relationship between education and schooling. You might be schooled but uneducated, and you might be educated but unschooled. Schools are concentration camps for the drones of society. Unschooling is much better than schooling. Internet is the best source of knowledge and information, replacing schools, libraries, media, parliaments, and postoffice.
Venitis Law of Environment: The best way to save the environment is vasectomy. Deadly viruses are Gaia's antibiotics against the cancer of overpopulation.
Venitis Law of Equality: Death is the only equalizer. Egalitarianism brings death to society, transforming citizens to zombies.
Venitis Law of Evolution: The ultimate phase of human evolution is the complete domination of soul.
Venitis Law of Faith: Faith is retarded thinking that keeps you away from God. You have to become faithless, in order to start your journey to God! You have to discover God your own way without intermediaries. God's truth should replace faith.
Venitis Law of Government: The only purpose of government is to protect citizens from criminals. Public services, central banks, and fiat money should be abolished.
Venitis Law of Heroism: Entrepreneurs, innovators, and heretics are the real heroes.
Venitis Law of Insurance: Citizens with proper individual retirement accounts and health savings accounts should be allowed to opt out of State Insurance.
Venitis Law of Intervention: Any government intervention deteriorates an existing trend. Laissez-faire is the only progressive policy.
Venitis Law of Legislature: Parliaments should be abolished, because they continuously create laws that enslave citizens, constraint economic activity, loot producers, reward drones, and encourage political corruption.
Venitis Law of Misery: Throwing money to misery brings more misery. Fighting wild leverage with more leverage is homeopathic repression of reality. A deluge of fiat money brings financial plague and haemorrhage of economy. Real money is tied up to precious metals and strategic metals.
Venitis Law of Patriotism: Patriotism is addiction to local hysteria.
Venitis Law of Property: Governments should not own or regulate any property, including waves. The first individual who improves or cultivates any unclaimed property is entitled to that property. Governments cannot own, allocate, regulate, or manipulate frequency fields and media. Eminent domain is null and void.
Venitis Law of Religion: Religion is spiritual slavery. Church is the business of religion. Religious monopoly turns bishops to ayatollahs, and churches to Sodom and Gomor. Spirituality and metaphysics should replace religion.
Venitis Law of Rule: Anarchy is the rule of gangs, infinitesimal government is the rule of law, and big government is the rule of the cancer of socialism.
Venitis Law of Selfownership: You own your body and your soul, and nobody should dictate what you take in and what you take out. Speech, education, heresy, habeas corpus, military service, mating, healthcare, abortion, cloning, drugs, guns, and euthanasia should be personal choices.
Venitis Law of Style: Your soul needs to resonate with mighty words and unique acts that express your style and destiny. Your government cannot dictate your language, your words, and your culture. Resonate now and sing your song!
Venitis Law of System: The most efficient political system is venitism, where everything is private, there are no taxes at all, there is no parliament, and a powerless infinitesimal government is chosen and supported not by hoi polloi, but by the most generous benefactors.
Venitis Square Law: Political corruption is proportional to the square of the size of the government.
Venitis Tax Law: For each percent of lower taxes, the economy grows by at least four percent more, and the government gets more revenue. Raising tax rates is masochism. Smart stimulus is to cut tax rates. Stupidus stimulus is to increase spending, which stimulates the cancer of socialism!
