Below, you will see two charts that I downloaded. I am led
to conclude that we have serious problems with both parties. Our
legislators know the inevitable trajectory of rampant spending, and choose to
continue to demand more money and power. As we endure their disingenuous
rhetoric, they rob us of a stable future. Please take a quick look at
them.
The charts name the parties of the presidents in the time frame,
but not the senators and congressmen who actually make the laws and pass the
budgets. These men and women have no term limits, and thereby no limit to
the damage they can do. There is also no limit to the benefits they can
vote for themselves. And they keep lobbyists in their tents, and when you
throw the presidential ego into the mix, you redefine the word “party.”
My conclusions:
First, you should vote for Donald Trump. Why? Because he is
not one of them, and you can easily see by their reactions to him that the
senate and house are terrified that he will win and upset the game. A
reduction in corruption must start at the top in order to prevent true chaos.
This might prevent revolution from the bottom up – a much worse scenario.
Can Donald Trump do this? We do not know, but he is the only one in this
election cycle who even pretends to recognize the economic facts and promotes
term limits. He deserves credit, and votes, for that alone.
Second, perhaps rethink your politics, and determine if you wish to stay
where you have always been. What we, as voters, have been doing is not
working anymore either. Some see a “stasis” in a vote for Hillary.
You can look again at the charts and know that “things staying the same” is not
an option. Traditional Democrats, and Republicans have knee-jerk
reactions to elections. But both parties have been hijacked by their
extremes. I did not expect to support Trump, but now I do.
Democrats have become the party of the extreme left and are openly
pushing for socialism, huge government, and a rewrite of the
Constitution. They pander to the poor and promise them money they don’t
have. They openly rail against the rich, even when they are rich, or need money
from the rich (i.e. Hillary Clinton) and they promote a caste system that
includes governmentally sustained poverty and hopelessness for the
disadvantaged. They pay better than working wages to teenage girls if they
get pregnant, and offer the young men involved a total pass on
responsibility. They now openly invite invasion of foreigners, promising
to give them money and benefits, even as they know we cannot pay for it.
The Republicans have morphed into the party of protection for the
ever-growing federal government and long careers in Washington DC.
Supposedly, they are all white, and racially prejudiced. You notice they
did not prevent Obamacare, thereby benefitting the pharmaceutical and insurance
industries in a huge way. They pretend to abhor Obama, but have given him
nearly everything he wants in a fake game of not cooperating. Obama
simply dictates from his podium and they acquiesce.
Do you see how these two extremes are actually symbiotic?
The Dems keep importing cheap labor for votes, (this benefits big business),
and the Reps keep exporting production, which decimates the pricey middle
class. Together they are a dream team of corruption.
Third, we must install term limits at all levels of government!
If we do not make a whole-hearted change soon, in the way we allow ourselves to
be governed, the freedoms earned by our ancestors, that are globally desired
and emulated, will be lost. And if trends continue, we should know that
socialism, in practice, has proven that mandated economic equality sets in
motion a “devolution” as people inevitably follow the path of least resistance
when there is no reward for effort.
Fourth, we must as individuals summon our courage. Nothing I am
proposing will go smoothly and without sacrifice. There are tens of
trillions of dollars at stake (and we are still printing money 24/7).
Those in power will not give that up easily. I do not propose that the
newly elected could fix us immediately. I simply propose that those
elected, in their time allotted, should go back to the drawing board, and come
up with a plan to stabilize and reverse the trend, and to honor the pledge to
uphold the US Constitution. And when they term out, the next set can
follow suit.
The fifth, and hardest thing of all is personal: drop all
prejudices that you know are just that. I do not suggest you would forget
your opinions and experiences, I am saying the Golden Rule is the only
functional principle to live by. We simply must treat our fellow citizens
as we would treat ourselves. We will need to move “racial equality” and
“help for the poor” back into our own personal realm of responsibility.
If we allow the government to rule charity and kindness, religion, parenting,
education and social engineering, we abdicate our own obligations - and we
continue to pay people to be and to stay poor. We have officially proven
that strategy does not work and we have victimized whole generations in the
process.
It is with great respect and grief for the 2,996 lost on 9/11, and
those lost since to terrorism, that I offer this: These losses should not
be an incentive to forfeit our Constitution, our freedoms, our individual
liberties, and the control of our own nation and political parties. I
believe we must let politicians know, with this election, that we are done with
business as usual in Washington DC. No more Big Brother (Homeland
Defense, NSA and crooked IRS). We are not terrorized!
