Cherokee County Board of Commissioners

Cherokee County, North Carolina

Anti-Agenda 21 Resolution

 

Whereas, the United Nations Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of extreme environmentalism, social engineering, global political control, and massive denial of natural rights, initiated at the United Nations Conference on Environmental and Development (UNCED) held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil in 1992, and

 

Whereas, the United Nations Agenda 21 is being covertly pushed into local communities throughout the United States by the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) through local “Sustainable Development” policies, and

 

Whereas, this United Nations Agenda 21 plan is put into effect through the “Sustainable America” guidelines and implemented by local governments by such insidious policies as Smart Growth,” Wildlands Projects, Resilient Cities, Regional Visioning Projects, Livability Principles, Sustainable Communities Initiatives, , Livable Communities Initiatives, and

 

Whereas, according to the United Nations Agenda 21, Private Property Ownership and freedom of individual economic action as detrimental to the earth’s environment, and

 

Whereas, Agenda 21 deems National Sovereignty as social injustice, and

 

Whereas NGO’s, Local Government bodies, and federal, state, and local governmental agencies are using Sustainable American guidelines as program and funding guidelines for Agenda 21 desired actions, therefore be it

 

Resolved, that the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners recognizes the destructive and insidious nature of Agenda 21 and agrees to resist by our inherent powers any attempt to implement through legislation, regulation, or guideline polices from or inspired by Agenda 21, to inform and educate the public on all attempts by agencies, non –profits, public private partnerships, or elected officials who attempt to introduce the same, and therefore be it further

Resolved that we reject the destructive strategies of sustainable development and other radical elements of Sustainable America, therefore be it further

 

Resolvedthat the right to own and use private property that cannot be arbitrarily confiscated or restricted by the government is the moral and constitutional foundation for individual freedom.    The forced surrender of property rights to the collective, controlled and administered by government, is the basis of socialism, and therefore be it further

Resolved that we reject grant monies, legislative funding, or ANY forms of funding that require implementation of ANY element of Sustainable America, Livable Community Initiatives, and therefore be it further,

ObamaCare

alt  Friends

  I came across this email link that spells out what we are all facing
  if ObamaCare is not repealed.  There are rational solutions to
  healthcare issues that maintain our individual right to interact
  with physicians and other providers in a free market setting,
  with a combination of healthcare savings accounts and
  appropriate insurance policies.  As I have said all along,
  ObamaCare, if allowed to become completely in force, is a
  death sentence for American medicine and each of us as
  individuals.

Reaction of the Week

RALEIGH — North Carolina would boost economic growth and wealth creation by replacing its existing income tax with a new “flat-rate consumed income tax.” That's the prescription the John Locke Foundation’s top economist offers in a new Spotlight report.

“The state’s current income tax penalizes work, saving, investment, and entrepreneurship,” said report author Dr. Roy Cordato, JLF Vice President for Research and Resident Scholar. “Those are the very income-generating activities that lead to the production of goods and services that spur economic growth. If you’re interested in growth, a flat-rate consumed income tax is a much better option.”

As its name implies, a flat-rate tax would apply just one tax rate, regardless of the amount of income taxed, Cordato said. “Unlike our existing system, a flat-rate tax offers no disincentive for people to work overtime, take a second job, or make other decisions that generate additional income. The next dollar of income is taxed at the same rate as the previous dollar.”

Focusing taxation on consumed income would remove the existing bias against saving and investment, said Cordato, a Ph.D. economist.

“The current state income tax distorts people’s choices about whether to spend or save the money they make,” he said. “Once the state has taxed a dollar of income, you can spend the remaining money without any additional tax penalty. Save the rest of that dollar, though, and you will face a form of double taxation when the state taxes any interest, dividends, or capital gains that result from the savings. This discourages saving, investment, entrepreneurship, and business expansion
in favor of consumption.”
