personally being a republican this is my oppinion. democrats are butting in when they don't need to. capitalism is based on the fact that people will go to countries that do them right and the economy will straighten itself out. so let capitalism do its work instead of spending and spending. which they also think will solve the national debt. you can't spend money to pay off money. they intend to raise taxes and only cut spending by a couple million. the higher taxes get the more people will cheat on them. if you lower them more people will pay in full and you COULD get just as much money. also you need to drastically cut spending.

Paper money is actually worth nothing since is created and destroyed.


Any form of money is worthless. Money, worth, debt, these are all ideas. Humans enslave each other by the vilest chains. Chains we do not even see, or know about.

Exactly but very few people know about this. Which is good for banks but very bad for people in general.

not really...at all. these two parties have kept power essentially the entire lifetime of this country.


The two parties trade back and forth between who has the power and who doesn't, but they fight each other to do it.

Yes I am aware. However you only have two MAIN parties. There lies the problem.


actually that's the advantage having 15 or so major parties can be bad and lead to a lack of leadership and executive power.

I think what America needs is a strong congress and senate or a good dictator. Either way....

Sweden's got about 8-9 major parties, yet according to three out of four sources on Wikipedia's list of countries by GDP, we're (barely) above the United States in GDP.

My point is that a country does not have to suffer or have its standard of living decreased just because it has multiple parties. If there are examples of when it has happened, it can just as well have been for other reasons, 'cus it works fine over here.

our people have come to know equality and fairness too well to let it slip out of their hands.

Could you elaborate? Does it work better for governments with or without much power? And with power, power over what exactly? 'Cus pretty much all governments govern the nation, that's what they do.

The equality and fairness is a lie to keep people happy. No one is equal, people are not treated fairly.

many parties + more power = bad...but i completely lost my train of though...it'll come back to me, but our parties (republican and democratic) can have differing opinions inside their own party.

This knowledge is useless without a deductive reasoning of WHY they failed...

Tell me - why is a lack of governmental power a bad thing?
