If you consider the elimination of millions of American jobs as conservative then I do not want to be considered a conservative.

If you consider the destruction of blue collar jobs, decline of midsize and smaller cities as conservative then please do not consider me a conservative.

If you consider conservative the massive consolidation of banking, destruction of community banks and aggregation of money in major financial locations as conservative then please do not consider me a conservative.

If you want the only jobs to be minimum wage, supervisors at a Walmart or fast food location, at corporate headquarters, and lawyers as a conservative then please do not consider me a conservative.

Enjoy the life under Cruz, Clinton, Romney or whomever else the GOPe convinces you are best for your “conservative” values.

I consider removing governmental restraints on the free market as Conservative. I consider the best way to create millions of jobs is to get the government the hell out of the way. Conservatism does not pick winners and losers. Conservatism does not protect blue collar jobs that can no longer compete in a global market. Conservatism allows businesses to fail and be replaced by better businesses.

The biggest restraint on unbridled capitalism that we currently face is the systemic taxation of wealth and capital created outside of our borders. Trump not only supports that taxation, he proposes expanding it.

American companies are storing exorbitant sums of money outside our borders because they will be taxed if they bring that money into the US. GM is making billions of dollars in China, but they won't bring those profits back into the US to modernize here because they will be heavily taxed. Instead, they invest those dollars overseas where they aren't taxed. Ted Cruz wants to remove these idiotic restraints so that those companies can bring those profits back here tax free and invest them in the US. That is Conservatism. That is getting government the hell out of the way. And that is something that Donald Trump does not support.
