Basic Truth

 

1. Sometimes I wonder if China is America 100 year ago...only without the freedoms we had.  They seem to have embraced the parts of capitalism that will propel them as a huge superpower.  I think America is living on the reputation and past accomplishments of our greatest generations.  Kinda like Paris Hilton living on the status of her name and the efforts of her great-grandfather.  Eventually, someone is going to have to get back to work and start creating some wealth again and not just moving it around and skimming off the top. 

   Of course, I may be wrong.

4. Ah I’m lucky Drew I know all my Wally World checkers are American - they are black.

   For the last two - one word - UNIONS - yes the EPA and greens and other assorted idiots, taxes and such lead to a nail (or a thousand) in their coffin - but UNIONS are the great destroyer from within of all business - and in agriculture - they get the added bennie of using Illegals to assist in the destruction.

   Ban all UNIONS - Defund, destruct and end all ‘Depts’ in DC - Imagine if you will just the savings across the board just doing Education. Dept of ED enablers - First explain how a BOE with 5+ people making a 100,000./yr (that’s a half mill per) HELPS the education of students or goes toward Education at all? And how UNIONS forcing membership and using DUES to elect politicians and of course protecting teachers from firing for any reason - help students at all? Remove it - let the local (i.e STATES - And Parents) run them again. Those who value education and self-improvement will have great schools - those who don’t won’t (but guess what, that won’t be a big change from right now - Except for the lower cost to taxpayers). Get hit with a clue bat - the less people with their hand out - the less a ‘service’ will cost.

   If you collect a tax - such as gas tax, license tax - It goes for that purpose - Not into a Federal and/or State General Fund. Did you know that 23% of the DOT tax income goes to Administration (get rid of it) and only 13% of the left over went to Roads/bridges - the rest went to - yes, you guessed it - social programs.

   STOP THE INSANITY - so I guess it is Repeal the 16th Amendment - cut the crapweasels in DC off at the wallet.
