President Trump recently put a halt to federal money going to NGOs… so-called “Non-Government Organizations.” Naturally, Leftist fascists squealed like stuck pigs, and got a recently appointed federal judge to put a temporary stay on Trump’s action.
Trump is on the right track, and Leftists know it. Hence why they squealed.
Many years ago, before marrying my wife, I was introduced to a lovely lady. She was hailed as an “entrepreneur,” and thus someone I supposedly could relate to. However, this lady’s sole mission was to pull in government money for her pet issue… dealing with childhood autism. Stopping autism is a noble cause, but to grab taxpayer money to do so creates a government-funded faction, placing her at odds with other government-funded factions who champion different, and equally noble, causes. Thus, these factions wage war with one another, all in an effort to grab cash from the public purse. This lady was anything but an entrepreneur… one who risks their own money. Instead, she wanted to risk your tax money.
This was essentially what James Madison was dealing with in Federalist 10, his oft-quoted and yet largely misunderstood treatise on factions. Madison clearly stated that factions will exist. So how does one limit their influence? Through a Republican form of government, where representatives and checks and balances prevent factions from seizing the government… and therefore to gain power to do things like distribute taxpayer funds.
Today’s NGOs are anything but non-government organizations. While there are surely some out there pushing worthy causes, many of them are engaged in undermining the rule of law in the United States, and are even involved in overthrowing governments around the world in an effort to politically capture these nations so that our elite can exploit their resources for their personal gain. Rather, they are extensions of a diseased government, a nation politically captured by a small elite who believe that the nation, and even the world, are their personal oyster. And they are using your tax money against you to push some of the craziest ideas out there, such as transgenderism and so-called “green” energy. They are nothing more than bloodsucking parasites.
And this is nothing new. Kings, princes and nobles have been doing this throughout human history. Whether it is through intermarriage in another noble family with an agenda to seize the crown of that country, or using merchants and religious teachers to undermine faith in the local government to overthrow it, or resorting to outright military invasion to control a land’s resources, the rich and powerful have typically exploited their position and resources for evil ends. Wealth and status are not evil in and of themselves, but often provide a heavy temptation for people to use these two assets for their personal gain.
And this is why nearly all government programs to give away tax money must be abolished. Whether it’s in the form of giveaways to students, subsidies for farmers so they can over-plant corn (and thus demand that the corn be purchased and used in gasoline and as high fructose syrup), or even for medical research. Just about all of it needs to go away. The only exception to this should be compensation granted to those who sign a contract to serve the state, such a education benefits for veterans. This does not mean the government cannot contract for services. It does mean they cannot give away money simply to the best grant writers.
Whether or not such grants go away is another issue. But at least what the President has done is a start.
