1.This is one battle in a long war.
2. 47% not paying taxes is unsustainable.
3. DemocRats still control big states and big cities. Big debts.
4. The Rat cronies ala the Fed, the banksters, MF Global, GM, Solyndra, et al will continue to screw the public.
5. Don’t trust Willard - he believes that gov’t can solve problems.
6. A minimum of 75% of the fed, state, and city gov’t budgets needs to be cut. Actual cuts and not political gimmicks. The current and future spending is unsustainable.
7. The process called bankruptcy needs to be followed. No sweetheart deals for any gov’t or private entity.
8. Normal market forces in energy, food, housing, and employment need be reintroduced by removing the gov’t at all levels from them.
9. Automatic withholding needs to be abolished. Monthly checks written to the gov’t. Tax day moved from Apr 1 to Nov 1. The Senate must return to appointment of Senators by state legislators vs direct election.
10. The media and Liberals aren’t going away and need to be challenged continually.
11. Major tort reform.
12. As shown above Lil Barry is the symptom of the problems. Removing him isn’t the cure but a start.
This can't be said enough. And I'm appalled that a growing number of FReepers (who should know better) have deluded themselves into thinking that Romney has actually become a Conservative over the past three months and will govern that way, when his longstanding record clearly suggests otherwise.
People who concern themselves with politics simply are not serious. They don't understand the basic components of what drives events. Rather, they seem to believe that ambitious individuals will cease advancing their own cause(s) for the benefit of the People. LOL
Neither Romney nor Obama will mention that the US outsourced its monetary power 100 years ago. The private banking cartel that assumed this function has worked in conjunction with government to subsume all economic activity within the confines of debt.
The end result has been a hollowing out of US production, followed by a loss, in real terms, of middle-class purchasing power/wealth, and accompanied by unsustainable levels of debt.
Until this core issue is addressed, nothing is going to change. Indeed, without government running $trillion dollar deficits as a substitute for private consumption in order to maintain overall aggregate demand, this baby would have crashed and burned already.
But who wants to preside over revolution and/or civil war? Where's the margin in that? How does one enjoy a long-term Hawaiian vacation if all major support systems have ceased to properly function?
Get the picture? Nothing is going to change until real change (think 4 horsemen) shows up on the horizon. In the meantime, enjoy another drink and have fun perusing juvenile musings of 'redemption'.
