Freedom, Free Market, Black Boxes in Cars, RFID Chips, Government Tracking
The federal Constitution, according to those who penned it, is a limited set of powers granted by the States and the People to our federal government. Modern liberals disagree, thinking that the document is an unlimited grant of power for them to do whatever they want. Our federal government, infested with do-gooder leftists, believes in this new, rewritten Law of the Land with a fervency that is so nauseating and destructive, that it has brought us to the edge of oblivion with deficits piled on deficits for the sake of funding their doing whatever they want. They treat government as some sort of “black box”, whereby they can pull any club out of it that they so choose and then bludgeon us with it.
Recently, the federal government, particularly President Obama’s Department of Transportation, carried this “black box” attitude of government power to literally include a mandate for “black boxes” in cars traveling on the nation’s roads. Of course, the common excuses are being issued by the loyal bureaucrats who are desperately seeking to justify their cushy salaries. Salaries, of course, paid for by Americans so that these bureaucrats can interfere with the lives of Americans.
Those excuses include making the roads safer, helping accident investigation, etc. Blah, blah, blah. But the truth is that, even without government regulation requiring these devices, many cars already have a “black box” installed and more and more new vehicles are being equipped with them every year. Why? Because of the free markets.
