oiy with the finger pointing. But that seems to be the programed knee jerk response that so many just blindly adhere to.
The "progressive political agenda" is only one facet of the two facet problem. The other facet lies squarely with the supposed "conservative" side of the aisle. Their champion of free trade has without question destroyed many legs of our economy. And still in the face of this undeniable devastation they are pressing for MORE.
Miss Katien you are on the right track except we don't need to impose a tax as the framework already exists in the Constitution in the form of tariffs, which is one of the few mechanisms allowed to the fed gov. to raise revenue to fund its Constitutionally enumerated obligations to the States, who are the Creators and Masters OVER the fedgov. Free trade as it is misnomer-ed is all about slavery and at its core, is a tax issue.
Matt, I must agree with your assessment. While there IS a voting solution to the problem, he is silenced in debates and ignored by the media on purpose. Neither side of the aisle wants him, therefore he MUST be the right guy because he has ALL the right enemies. His policies would be "painful" but with a fix and so limited, in duration. Everybody else is MUCH more painful with NO fix. The "masters" seem to be trotting Newty out which might very well indicate more of the same on either side. They seem to like pitting a known failure up against their number one choice (who has yet to be revealed). They did this in the last cycle and it worked marvelously for them. If it worked once, to their thinking, it will work every time. So far they have been right, every time.
The solution is to pull the pin holding the pendulum that is purposely sent to the left and the right depending on how peeved each side gets, and stop playing the division game. ALL of us have to press for the only solution to benefit ALL of us. Pointing the finger, only divides us. It is this division that benefits the "masters" and enslaves ALL of us. The rabid left and the monstrous neocons (yes I DO know the origin and meaning of this label) MUST keep everybody at the other guys throat to keep us away from the solution. The solution and enemy number one for these guys is UNITY. The only place for unity is standing on the Constitution of These States United and WITHOUT compromise.
I apologize for this moment of weakness in responding to this. Guess if I didn't care so much about MY country, its peoples, its future and progeny, I wouldn't be tempted. We either stand together or you subject all of us to slavery and THAT is NOT the positive side of our heritage.
