Title: There's hope yet....

A great article. One paragraph stood out, but read the who thing.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they’ve never seen prosperity, and as a result, elect politicians dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this, my generation has ONLY seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn’t live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, or see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don’t know what it’s like not to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don’t have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it’s spreading like a plague.

The answer is this, my generation has ONLY seen prosperity.

Merca peaked economically in the mid 50's. We had 80% of the worlds gold reserves, were a debtor nation, world lead in automobile manufacturing, so on so forth. It has been on the decline since for a variety of reasons.

Best regards,

Yes, we have a lack of prosperity problem.
I've explained why for years.
My grandpa had a thirteen stool snack bar that he alone worked at. With that he added to his house, built a nice garage, bought horses and a trailer, leased access to a place to ride, and saved money to buy a country store with a feed store and bait shop. Took him EIGHT YEARS. Another high school graduate. Impossible to do today.
The root of the problem is in the federal reserve and what it allows our politicians to do. If you ran your personal finances the way the government does it, you'd be declared bankrupt and imprisoned for fraud.
Watching the ignorant stomp and complain about capitalism, which we've really never seen because of the corruption created by the federal reserve, the same self proclaimed students of truth, who have not read G. Edward Griffin's
The Creature from Jekyll Island irritates those very few people who actually have a clue. I've STUDIED this subject.
I wasn't Told. I didn't just develop an opinion based on what I've seen and heard. I spent a few years looking for information. I even bought the book book by John Maynard Keynes and Tried to read it. Keynesian logic is not logical at all. But it's a neat trick to transfer wealth.

Here's a question for the geniuses.

What nation Isn't in Debt?
Who does everybody OWE?
How is America a SOVEREIGN nation if it must BORROW every dollar it spends?

And we did all that with a marginal tax rate approaching 90%.

How about that?

I'm in favor of flat tax, but the left can't implement social policy through taxation if that were to come to fruition.

Best regards,
