Erie Canal :: A Mirror
One of the main driving forces of building the Erie Canal was to allow the tremendous volumes of grain from the midwest to reach the eastern seaboard. Comparing 250 pounds of corn on the back of a mule to 250 pounds of whiskey, it’s easy to understand how distilled spirits became a standard for barter. Transportation costs were the determinant factor for the eventual use of grain. As in every case known to man, if it moves it’s taxed, which gave rise to the first tax rebellion, the Whiskey Rebellion.
Today, the American people are getting taxed for NOT moving (out of the country) but masses of people moving in uninvited are collecting the benefits of our taxes. Congress is unable to act. The People CAN!
President Teddy Roosevelt left us with a way to act. In 1907 he signed a Presidential Proclamation (35 Stat. 2136) giving US a 60 foot wide easement on most of the southern border. The Roosvelt Reservation is there for us to use if we want to build security for our national family.
Whereas, it is necessary for the public welfare...
President Roosevelt used those words to describe a security issue at the southern border in 1907. At roughly the same time, he had worked to upgrade the Erie canal because he understood commerce. The two are interlinked as never before. In a day where hundreds of millions of dollars of toxic drugs can actually be carried over the border on a mule, some of our leaders are starting to wake up. Faster than putting money in a donation box or tracking government through 1099-GOV implementation, each of us has the ability to play a part to build the wall.
Time Advances, now FASTER!
We CAN move mountains!
We aren’t trying to steal anyone’s thunder, but any huge project benefits from having teams with diverse approaches. There are a few things that we believe
Nobody has seen 1000 year old steel
Nobody has seen 300 year old concrete since the Romans
TNSR Systems is in the preliminary stages of proving a concrete that will create monuments for a millennium. Looking back on Roman efforts using concrete you have to admit that the uniquely American creativity decorating our walls will be toured by billions.
