We, and I mean the global collective "we," need to forget about political parties and affiliations to focus on the real problem facing us all.
There is a big gang of corrupt thugs in Washington that have picked team players like we kids in the neighborhood did when playing ball. One team calls itself the Dems and the other team calls itself the repub. but they all play for the same neighborhood. Pick an issue, immigration, okay, There are 3-4 trillion to be made on Illegals in the next two years from many issues like for one detention centers like the massive ones built in Texas. Can you imagine being THE Senator that picks what flat screen TVs are to be used? How about mattresses, night stands etc? Big bribes ahead as these are not convicted people, nor are they prisons so they have to have livable accommodations. So one team says "You claim we are for the votes and we will say you are for cheap labor and the citizens will chase their tails arguing for years over it, okay? good lets go play some golf!
It's the global political and economic monopolies we all should be concerned with.
Sure the ones with the big money like Monsanto always say " He was the best politician money could buy!"
US citizens, ask yourself these questions; why isn't the Federal Reserve Bank not considered a foreign company ? Why has no political party ever purpose a plan to regain control of the US dollar from the Federal Reserve Bank ?
Most politicians get too much money from the Private Fed Res. and the few decent ones say "They have the guns so what are you going to do?" (Ron Paul 2006ish)
BTW the IRS is a collection agency for the Fed Reserve. Not one dime goes to services, it makes me cringe when I hear people say "we must all pay our fair share of taxes for schools and roads." Schools are paid by real estate taxes and roads by gas taxes and you can always tell a dem controlled state because the funds are stolen and the roads are in disrepair. All taxes collected by the IRS go to the Federal Reserve bank as interest on the debt.
The lines designed to separate us only work if we allow them too.
Look at some of the opinions on this forum and you see that even here where 99 % of us respect each other and very much LIKE each other, BUT we still allow them to separate us.
United we stand, divided we fall. Not as a country but as people !!
