[SirJohnBarleycorn]

He has no understanding of economics.

His head is filled with marxist sound-bites that he uses as a substitute for thought.

He couldn’t begin to explain the historic foundations of America’s prosperity or the causes of our present decline.

[cripplecreek]

I can explain how we got into our current situation with two quotes from history.

'What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce when he knows not that his plans may be rendered unlawful before they can be executed?'

James Madison.

‘You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.’

Nikita Kruschev
