Good summary! I like your optimism.

Thanks. Optimism, nothing! We simply don't have a choice! Are we gonna turn our country over to a bunch of leftists without a whimper? And where will the freedom seeking people of the world go in search of liberty, if America fails?

Americans have never stood still for being bullied and pushed around. By anyone. Hopefully, there's still a few of us left who appreciate our birthright of liberty, bought and paid for with the blood and lives of our forefathers.

We owe it to them, and future generations, to preserve it for ourselves and our heirs. Anything less is a sure path to slavery, as many of the oppressed in others countries have discovered.

Capital controls always work in disfavor of the banana republic who imposes them. Capital stays away. There are still many ways to secret money overseas. Risky, but identifying the beneficial owner of many assets is difficult. Once in place, they effectively block the flow of capital into the country.

Wow. This is so good I'm just going to repost it in bold:

Amen.
