a little closer every day...In late communism, there are no legal businesses that are disapproved of. They have all been outlawed/destroyed.

Really? "Others will be astonished..." They couldn't see this coming?
Lifetime memberships? NRA?
Unless EinReich WithHolder targets them, of course.
Coin dealers???
Because the feds don’t want people trading in their fiat for silver and gold.
Well, you know what happens when businesses turn to cash sales. A lot of their sales then go unreported. The mafia and drug industries have been doing that for decades.
Eric, be careful what you ask for. You might just get it!
Apply pressure to regulated banks to choke off funds to legal businesses that you disapprove of. Classic fascism/authoritarianism/early communism.

Well said – and almost exactly what my comments were to be….
A classic case of tyranny in its most evil form.
Meanwhile, the purveyors of this evil still like to put on airs as champions of Liberty with their label of Liberal…
Somebody needs to start
Sleazy Bank Co LLC
Just try to smear that!
Somebody should start providing banking services catering to the pron industry, gun shops, ammo dealers, coin sellers, etc. Anybody on the DOJ “Naughty List” would be a favored customer.
Then when the government comes after you and tries to give you a bad reputation, you can just say, “Why yes, we are Sleazy Bank LLC. By the way, anybody operating a business at the fringes of decent society who needs credit card processing, our toll free number is 1-800-SLEAZY1”. If these businesses cannot get services from any other provider, you can charge a healthy premium.
This is some of the “change” the majority of those that voted said, via their votes, on November 4, 2008 they wanted. In November 2012, the electorate restated that was their wish.
The next scumbag politician that says they are for guns and the second amendment like they say they are for the troops but not the mission should be gabby Gifford.
Yup. Having witnessed communes in the late 60's, all enterprise was destroyed within those hippie utopias. They practiced Marxism, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". That didn't work then and will never work.
Here is the reason from first hand experience that communism will never work:
Not all people in a commune worked as hard as others (saw it). It's an inherent trait in humans as we see today. The productive commune folks started getting pissed that others were not carrying their communal weight, but still reaping the same rewards/lifestyle as the producers. The producers finally got fed up and left, and all you had left was the "gimmes". That is why you rarely see a commune today, other than blood family.
The Soviet Union is another example of trying to control from top to bottom. Cuba only works because it is more of a dictatorship. If given the choice, the so-called revolution would self-destruct and Cuba would become the next Caribbean paradise.
Communism exists against all human endeavors. It is an un-natural system that punishes the producers so even the non-producers can be on the same level of lifestyle. Socialism is the same, except it doesn't start from the top. It allows capitalism, but then attempts to re-distribute the benefits from capitalism to those who do much less or nothing at all.
Both are failed economic systems and history and current events in Europe have proven it. Yes, some capitalists take advantage and are corrupt - think Enron. However, most capitalists provide jobs and opportunity. I am a capitalist and owned 3 small companies and provided jobs, decent pay, and benefits - and still made a profit for the risks I took. I'm not rich, but made a good retirement because I took those risks, and others benefited from such.
This nation was founded on capitalism and we became the greatest most advanced nation in the world because of that economic philosophy. Now, we have a centralized federal government that increasingly takes from the producers to give to the "gimmes". We are self-destructing from our own original system.
coin dealers?
travel clubs? Like AARP?
Yep - personally lost a very good living because of Holder’s “preferences” of businesses.
I wonder if the Republicans could tangibly threaten the Democrats to back off, by offering that when they are in charge, to “choke point” leftist NGOs, foundations, charities and other radical organizations?
Since few if any of these groups actually make products or provide services, and are wholly dependent on contributions, without banking or credit, or money transfer, they would die out overnight. And a lot of foundations have huge treasuries that they would have to convert to cash.
And the zinger is, since the federal courts have not intervened to stop the Just Us Department, likely with the excuse that these are businesses and not political organizations, all these leftist groups would get the same treatment.
And there are thousands of leftist charities, foundations, and agitator organizations. Relatively few are openly political.
THAT is the most worrisome. THEY KNOW something is going down and they want to dilute wealth. Silver and gold IS wealth. The greenish-cloth in your wallet isnt.
Also, if you can't defend your wealth and accumulations (Private property) with a rifle.
YOU DON'T OWN IT!
a little closer every day...Congress can act like Holder and the President and simply make up law. They can issue funds to create a bank that will cater to gun and ammunition sales companies.
Let Holder come after THAT.
