Trump is a Deal Maker, according to him. Yeah, he Says he's gonna control the borders. Someone needs to.
There's really no example of a socialist country that survived except Libya, and that was because of the extreme abundance of oil and the fact that That Eevil Gaddafi really was , generally, good to his people. I've posted details of what they had. Look at the blessings we gave them.
But, I digress...
Americans, for the most part,have forgotten what freedom Requires. The social engineers Really went to work in the sixties.
When Polite equals being penalized for calling something what it is, telling the truth is Rude, buddy, screw That.
Demand for freedom for confused boys to use the girls room?
Demanding people contract with people to celebrate an abomination? You can Have it. I will fight against it.
And the stacked deck that both sides threw at the Tea Party
MADE this whole Trump thing Possible. The most unwilling to accept those whose viewpoints differ are the left. Elect Libertarians, determined to leave you alone.
Until people actually understand what Keynesian monetary policy does and what the Debt based, DEBT based, fiat currency system does, there IS no saving America.
Understand the difference between currency and money.
France is Socialist, the UK has a lot of socialist qualities, Finland is pretty socialist, Italy is highly socialist, Spain is too (admittedly not the best example)
heck, here's a map for ya, these are all members of Socialist International
it is entirely possible to tell the truth without being rude, most just don't have the education or want to expend the effort to do so, and it's a bit more confusing to the masses, it's much easier to say "Shut down Planned Parenthood" than it is to say "Restructure Planned Parenthood to eliminate any possible confusion about their role in abortion and medical research" are either of those possible, idk, but one's a catchy soundbite
Telling it is like it is, means, not being able or simply not wanting to understand it completely and just basing it on it's face value. Life is so much easier when you see in black and white instead of 16 million colors.
Unfortunately I fear that libertarianism just leads to a feudal system where the rich have serfs and slaves again, because humans are extremely flawed and might makes right is so easy to live by.
Crony capitalism is probably the best we're going to get, if we're lucky we can contain it so it can be a little bit less intrusive in our lives and start making corporations pay their fair share of taxes (by fair share I mean their actual tax rate or closer to it than the 12.6% they pay on average now, yes their tax rate is 35% but they actually only pay around a 12.6% tax, that's what I've read, it may be wrong, and what you've read may be wrong too) and what they are burdening the government for to keep wages low.
reality is a mess huh?
