Sometimes before you can begin to change your life - or in this case, your country - you have to be willing to look in the mirror and face some tough and often painful truths. The truth is, Americans have been played. In the name of sound economics, we’ve been on a 50 yr systemic slide away from “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people” - destroying America’s middle class to the point where one percent of our people have more wealth than the bottom 90%. We can’t have that, and retain our democracy. We are essentially being ruled by a matrix of corporate overlords. The system that has been doing this - leeching off millions of people to serve the insatiable monster of corporate greed - will not disrupt itself; there’s far too much money to be made by those who run it. The only way to override it is for the people themselves to wake up and say “No more.” And to mean it.

There’s nothing sound about the economics you and your “opponents” push. The money isn’t sound, fractional reserve banking isn’t sound, the ridiculous amount of spending you all push isn’t sound.

Nobody’s talking about *more”*spending. We’re talking about *different* spending. On what grounds is it “sound” to give more to somebody who already has a lot, by depriving those who have too little?

There’s nothing sound about that, that’s wealth redistribution. Why is cutting wasteful spending never on the table? Murray Rothbard points out in Man, Economy, and State that higher taxation limits productivity and prosperity. Cutting waste can cut taxes leading to prosperity
