The real reason is that pampered, out-of-touch, pathological constituents provide the most money, by far, for PACs and politicians. Look around. See the political/regulator class. What do they produce? Nothing of value to Americans who would manufacture needed products if allowed to do so.
They do, in fact, prevent needed production, illegally (by the law of our land) spy on citizens, gossip, falsely accuse, rob real producers, steal children (to sell to pathological, false parents) and generally threaten the populace, keeping national morale generally low. Thus, the economic slide toward default, which is the remedy.
Show us honest candidates in favor of cutting public education (rules out those with families in public ed.)—men against environmentalism, animal-worship and other pathologies, men against fat federal funding to state and local governments, men in favor of a large, productive manufacturing base.
Or the political regulator folks made their bed. Let ‘em lay in it for as long as it takes (default, checkmate). They can huff, puff, whine and threaten most other Americans all they like.
Please explain this statement:
steal children (to sell to pathological, false parents)
