To my America,
Parking Meters
There are many forms of extortion used by governments throughout the world.
There are many ways to get money from the weak. There are many ways to fool
the unintelligent. The tactics range from immoral tax collecting
organizations, to police forces, to tiny machines that one might believe
allows a person to occupy a certain space for a certain amount of time.
Tyranny is not always a bloody affair. It is not always shocking, sometimes
it is quite common place and accepted, but it is still tyranny. And so it is
for the example of tyranny known as parking meters.
An act or display of tyranny can easily be noticed if it furthers the
comfort or power levels of a government body. Tyranny can be noticed if a
practice takes money from a group of people to forward public leadership
instead of promoting public servitude. A public servant needs little money
to function. It needs as little money as the majority of people have. (This
is an issue further expanded upon in another article.) Government has become
big business. The officials can always think of some way to frivolously
spend the moneys they procure. There is always some cause to champion to
make themselves feel worthy and they do it by extorting money from the
masses. From the IRS, to speeding tickets, to parking tickets, to parking
meters.
Parking meters in New York City generate $50,000,000 annually. Sounds
like a good business to get into. But that is not the big business. The big
business is in parking violations. The cities don’t want you to put enough
money in those meters to keep them ticking. Have you seen the parking police
sitting by meters waiting for the device to expire? If you haven’t pay
closer attention. The meter violations in New York City generate
$150,000,000 annually. The entire business generates $13,000,000,000 nation
wide according to a federal government issued report! (The Hollywood
movie industry generates $15,000,000,000 annually on average. The
traffic violation industry is almost as big as Hollywood.) Now that is some big business and some well defined
greed and blatant tyranny.
We are expected to rent space on public streets. We are expected
to pay a group of so-called "public servants" to have their permission to
park on streets that have been built by money that was extorted from us by
some other earlier means. This would be blatantly criminal if an
organization called the Mafia extorted money from people in this way, but
that just isn’t so if our deceptive government is the beneficiary of the
funds. Perhaps I will begin to purchase streets and place parking meters in
front of houses, or in high school parking lots. It seems like a viable
business maneuver. And with how Americans accept every act of psychotic
feeding on them, why wouldn’t they accept my feeding on them. But I do not
do this. Who in their right mind would accept a mere concept like this? Who
would follow this blind track that would make it mandatory for someone to
put a quarter into a machine to enter into their homes? The answer is
simple, the same people that pay for garbage service whether they use if or
not. The same cowards who put money into a the mere concept of a parking
meter designed to inflate the pockets of a government treasury that burns
money like no common person ever could. A parking meter is purely
unconstitutional. But what does that mean these days? Nothing. Money means
everything. Cities want to be richer. Politicians want to be wealthier. A
city wants more round-abouts instead of four way stops because larger,
fancier cities have them. (Visit Reno, Nevada to understand the random
idiocy of the round-about.)
We must stop the extortion in all forms. We must force the humility of
the arrogant leaders. We must put into office the most humble slaves of the
people. Public servitude should be the most noble profession. And cities
should scrape by so they do not become arrogant, destructive rulers or
leaders. Keep your government poor and yourself wealthy as capitalism
allows. If politicians want money let them quit their leadership roles and
get real jobs. The ego and the pocket book belong nowhere in the offices of
public servitude. Like a greedy child we, as the free people of the United
States of America, must cut the government off. We must say no. Just say no.
And just throw away those slips of paper from those that assume that they
deserve to steal your money away from you. This is a small thing, but it is
a grand start. It is a small step for one person to heroically take, but if
many individuals take this one small step, the cause of freedom will take a
soaring leap. Have the courage to break the mental chains that control your
pocket book with fear and threat of penalty. Don’t recognize the penalty. If
your heart is free, no one can take anything away from you. Ever. That
includes friends, family, and even the holy dollar. Free yourself from your
own greed to want to hang on to everything and by result the government will
have nothing to threaten you with and they to will be forced to let go. And
humility will return to the free streets of the US. You shall be free from
extortion. Don’t pay for what is yours by birth right. Don’t pay for your
space on the planet. No one should be able to charge you for your place to
exist. If it is a parking spot or a plot of land in the middle of Alaska. No
one has ever owned either. The concept was just planted in your head. Fight
what would steal from you. Be free. Deny the hand in your pocket its
satisfaction.
