On Fox Business News today, one of the commentators–after bemoaning the empty aisles at Saks, despite a 50% sale–looked into the the camera and urged Americans: “Be patriotic; shop!” You certainly can impoverish yourself for the state-bankster combine, as Paulson and other criminals ask. Or you can put yourself and your family first, and not spend. Instead you can save, and be a benefactor of all of society. It’s just another reminder of Rockwell’s Law: always do the opposite of what the state urges, and the state’s media too.
