Thanks for posting that, GZ. It was well worth listening to. We must repeal all forms of socialism and related laws in this country to restore it to greatness. Likewise, we must enforce all relevant laws and completely honor and obey the U.S. Constitution and the Founders' intent, which is clearly written into the document. Furthermore, all race-based laws must be permanently eradicated and the full rights of people to associate with whomever they want to associate with must be honored and protected under the law. That means no more gerrymandering, civil rights laws, EEO laws, equal housing laws, labor laws, employment laws, or any laws based on skin color or quotas related to race, etc. Those laws bring great harm to the United States. If we end all forms of socialism (e.g., social security, medicare, medicaid, free education, welfare, unemployment insurance, food stamps) and all race-based laws and enforce the immigration laws, America would be restored to greatness because like-minded people would be able to cooperate and affect progress without fear of the heavy-handed violence and brutality from the government. Please note that I am not suggesting that we terminate social security and medicare tomorrow. I think those programs should be phased out and the money that was taken from the taxpayers to fund those programs should be returned to the contributors in an equitable way. As for those who never paid a dime into social security and medicare, yes, their benefits should stop immediately. Likewise, the entire income tax structure must be demolished, and a very small usage tax implemented. Probably 80 to 90 percent of the Federal government, including the IRS and the "privately-owned" central bank, should be permanently dismantled. The government should exist only to "provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." To that end, the government's role should be to mediate and broker civil disagreements among citizens through the courts and to protect the nation through a strong military and a strong criminal justice system. Beyond those basic things, the government should be largely transparent and inconsequential to our lives. If the government would simply do those basic things, we'll take care of the rest and restore the greatest nation on Earth.
