Talking about government like its a monolithic entity with an agenda of its own just advertises your own brainwashing. The government is not one person, one agency, one anything.

The countries with high GDP per capita and low wealth inequality don't use our system, "liberal market economy." They use systems like democratic socialist and corporatism. The jury is out, our system inflates the top one percent until were in the streets like those BLM people. Our entire system is predicated on keeping labor cheap. We aren't -- and never were -- a free market. We don't subject the elites in this country to "market discipline," only the rest of us.

The government is a tool that people in lower classes need to learn to use. Rather than adopting your defeatist attitude. News flash -- there's more of us than them. I'm not suggesting the 1% pay us, I'm suggesting we never let them get as much to begin with moving forward.

Federal Government = consolidation of multinational corporation power


Local and state government powers should always exceed those of the Federal government, we are going in the wrong direction on that.

It is VERY hard to individually corrupt many smaller governments, to corrupt a consolidated form of power in which we have now is VERY easy.

So let me break this down for you. I don't care what candidate is what. Or how many lies they tell.

It comes down to a couple simple things.

1. Who will shrink the federal government powers
2. Who will collect LESS taxes thus giving less power to federal government

Everything else on a national level is just hot air. Because both sides are almost identical in actual policy.

The more money you give to the federal government , the more % share of power they have. You basically sell your freedom 1% at a time. Until you are working for the federal government, and they are working for the multi nationals.

Support the power of individual states, and local governments. Don't get caught up in vague arguments from the Feds.
Trust me they don't give a shit about gay rights, or what bathroom anyone uses. They will use any excuse to extract another % of freedom from the public.


They got you distracted with slight of hand. Don't be fooled.
