USA have speeding limits, germany don't

so USA is a dictatorship because you're not free to drive as fast as you want

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That is funny, but there is truth to that. As far as most people are concerned, freedom only matters as far as its application in their lives and lifestyle.

To someone who only wants to drive fast, eat wienerschnitzel, and watch netflix and has no other ambitions in life, Germany's freedom is superior to any other in that respect.

In that way, its a matter of perspective as to what country is the "best".

My video absolutely smashed yours. Sorry.

Anyone man who doesnt support trump is a low T cuck with pegging fantasies.

Anyone who makes false claims about Trump (like OP) is clearly a communist, racist, sexist, homophobic terrorist who hates america

What good is money if you don't have a country. Most people don't mind paying taxes as long as those taxes are spent to benefit them. Importing millions of 3rd worlders doesn't benefit most Americans. Immigration and the resulting demographic displacement is the most important issue of this election, not how many shekels you get you keep.

You ever work for a poor person? Fact : Wealthy people create jobs more than the middle class.

Jobs are created because there's a need for a production or a service.

Remember Ford and 5$/day ? He understood that his workforce were also customers. Of course now when you pay someone a wage slave and then complain about the economy..

Right now the interest rate on government bonds is so low in the USA that it makes sense to have budget deficits if the borrowed money is used to improve infrastructure and fund more research, because these things can add a lot of future value (e.g., DARPA--> Internet). Similarly, businesses often take loans to expand and modernize.

If interest rates are increased, the budget can be balanced by restoring marginal tax rates to what they were in the (Bill) Clinton administration. At those rates we were on the road to "surpluses as far as the eye can see" - and then GWB cut top marginal rates so as to produce large deficits again and make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

I personally have never felt over-taxed by the federal government. Sales taxes (up around 8% where I live) bother me more, but I can afford them too. Minor inefficiencies of government don't bother me much either. Having worked for a large company (GE) I know that to be inefficient is part of the human condition, and in for-profit companies there is always corruption as well.

lmao... wtf....

Meh Ron Paul was another Bernie Sanders. So glad he decided to give up and go back to congress ....

"Of the 620 bills that Paul had sponsored through December 2011, over a period of more than 22 years in Congress, only one had been signed into law – a lifetime success rate of less than 0.3%.[60] The sole measure authored by Paul that was ultimately enacted allowed for a federal customhouse to be sold to a local historic preservation society (H.R. 2121 in 2009"

I don't think how many bills he got enacted is an accurate measure of RP...

I know everyone here are pretty much Positivists... and congress has been just about all positivists for a long time...

Sorry guys gravity is hurting too many people we are going to outlaw it pulling people down... *changes measuring tools and standards for gravity* "Look we saved the day"

*If you would like to refer to RP as "roleplaying" then we have a different conversation of puppeteers and the like... but... meh
