Why are you so glib?
Want to know who the winners were in Russia? The Tsar.
What happened to them, by the way?
Since I said nothing about Russia, I assume your remark was directed to someone else.
As to the charge of glibness, thanks for the compliment.
My point being, winners and losers...
Eventually the losers get pissed off, and then the losers all get together and kill the winners.
I’d rather not live in a world where things get that bad.
So, take things to the extreme.
Winners and losers becomes dead people and losers.
That’s pretty good, I like it. Something about the trend that concerned me that I didn’t mention was the fact that apparently it’s not just the FR. With the latest rumor that Cruz has gone protectionist like everyone else it means problems ahead. Only if the rumor’s true though.
Our government was set up to avoid those violent changes of power and policy. The Founders were close scholars of the ancient Republics and knew that in order to stop the oscilation between license (democracies) and tyrannies (oligarchies) and periodic civil war the government had to be balanced so that no one faction could gain and monopolize power. That has worked well for 229 years except for that little misunderstanding in the 1860s.
The rise of the dependent/parasitic class and allowing it to vote may well put an end to that Republican ideal and lead to more civil unrest and resistance to it.
Trump is our last hope to stop the trends which are destroying the nation: ILLEGALISM, over-regulation, Treasonous importation of terrorists and politically correct fascism. This is why he is under constant attack.
I’m not opposed to free trade that actually IS free trade; but the problem is they call it “free trade” when it is not, when it does not favor the US.
I’m in favor of REAL free trade, not fake free trade. Just like I am in favor of MARKET CAPITALISM and not PROXY CAPITALISM.
Ultimately, I will vote for Trump, and hold my nose over a few of the dumb things he has said.
I can agree to that thought
