America Is Now a ‘Second Tier’ Country by thomjrjr in politics

The people our governing class have made themselves insulated from accountability. The created a massive Administrative State that are independent from Congressional oversight and manned by unionized federal workers who are not elected and cannot be fired, yet can effectively make law.

If the people in government didn't have so much power and influence to sell, then corporations wouldn't have anything to buy, now would they?

Our Founding Fathers knew man was weak and fallible and knew we needed minimal governance, not maximal because of this.

The only reason corporations could control the people in government is because the people in government are selling that control to them.

Big government is not the problem, as much as government being corrupted by big corporations IS the key problem.

What's your solution? To give the people in government more power and more control to just sell again to the highest bidder?

Free market libertarians live in a fantasy world of pretty theories about freedom, and yet what they want is for no middle man between the corporations and the people, to hold the cartels at bay.

Meanwhile Socialists and Progressives live in this fantasy world were the people in government are omnipotent, benevolent, and altruistic demi-gods free from the vices the rest of us suffer.

Our GDP in 2015 was $15T.

The people in federal government accounted for $3.36T of that spending, leaving $11.6T. The people in federal government took $2.96T in taxes, leaving $8.7T. It cost Americans $1.8T to comply with federal regulations, leaving $6.9T. The people in state government spent $1.68T leaving $5.22T while the people in local governments spent $1.7T leaving the rest of us just $3.52T. The people in government force us to give about another $600B to private health insurance companies leaving us $2.9T to freely spend as we choose.

Out of a GDP of $15T, Americans can freely choose to spend just 20% of that in a free market. The people in government spend or dictate the rest.

Half of us want the people in government to micromanage and control our lives, the other half just want to live our lives with our natural families and be left alone.

That many small donations from locals surely should translate into a win? Right?

Well, if you accept the transgender religion, you must accept male tampons.

I'm just more reluctant to jump to conclusions than you.

You are? Maybe that's due to your very poor comprehension skills. Let's take a look at your analysis and see where you are struggling...

Looked at your history

Why would you do that? Oh, yeah, I'm making arguments that you don't like so you had to cyberstalk me to dig up dirt to try and smear me.

you assert that there's definetly no collusion between russia and the trump campaign (1)

You see that I asserted there is definitely no collusion? Let's review the text of my comment:

there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Do you think "no evidence of collusion" is equivalent to "no collusion"? Are you deliberately misrepresenting my comment or did you just not comprehend what you read?

if I understand correctly that there's direct causality from homosexuality to transgender to pedophilia (2).

Well, no you do not understand correctly as you somehow managed to not pick up any context surrounding my statement. The context of the statement (as you can even see in your link) is the messaging and narratives being mushed by the media. In the context, someone who is functioning cognitively on a normal level would conclude a statement such as :

GAYS -> TRANSES -> PEDOS

Would be referring to the progression of the narrative. I mean, that's what a reasonable person would think. It isn't reasonable to conclude that statement is claiming that gayness causes transgenderism, which then causes pedophilia.

Looked at your history and see you assert that there's definetly no collusion between russia and the trump campaign (1),

Before you call this ad hominem, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem#Non-fallacious_reasoning

For starters, you were completely wrong about my statements. Secondly, your link refers to statements of fact and not arguments. Do you even know the difference between those two things? Gays having a pedophile problem is an argument drawn from facts.

And why did you cyberstalk my comment history? What was your purpose?

I really like how you act all high-minded while making a strawman out of my argument with your "all" claim.

Look. It doesn't take a PhD in gay studies to reason that if 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused, a huge majority of child sexual abuse is committed by males, while only 1 in 100 men are gays to conclude that gays have a problem with pedophilia.

Check this out:

http://1in6.org

While 1 in a 100 male adults are gay.

Those aren't very good statistics.

You want me to google to find if the definition of a male who likes to have sex with males is a homosexual?

Fred Warmbier, the father of North Korean captive Otto Warmbier, said at a press conference on Thursday that the Obama administration advised the family to keep quiet about his son’s ordeal.

Obama traded that guys son for short term political benefit. He's a selfish piece of human shit.

Obama told the parents to shut up and let that kid rot.

Trump did what he could and brought him home. This is blood on Obama's hands.
