President Donald Trump!

Post Reply New Topic

I can't help figuring that the fix is already in.

It seems like it has been decided for almost 10 years now that it would be Jeb vs Hilary. The establishment never loses, we only have the illusion of democracy.

sorta like the soviet union in that respect.

A vote for Trump is a vote against our Beltway Overlords.

The Republican Party was ruined by Christians, after the Democrats dumped them.

Business Republicans were replaced by Bible Thumpers and Country Club Republicans.

Tax cuts for the rich will keep God in power was a bad combination.

Ike was the last, Get the job done, and make the books balance, President.

Main Street Business Republicans were pushed out of the Party, it died after Goldwater.

Arms Merchants, Big Oil, Trust Babies, found that all they had to do was mention Jesus, and they could get the votes to steal Congress. Bush the Second, said God more times than all previous Presidents combined. His election was a tent revival. Haliburton won.

Main Street is not dead, the diverse small business across America is the largest employer. Major Corporations hired few before they offshored the jobs.

The issue of local jobs and the ability to rise from employee to business owner is still the American Dream.

Multi National Business, is about The Stock Market, Major Investors, and hardly any of it even happens in the country.

Germany invested in small companies, Midlestand, family owned, hired less than ten locally, produced a quality product that had a world market, and went from 30% youth unemployment, to full skilled employment.

They modeled it on small American companies of 20-30 years ago. It was the heart of the economic engine.

Germany provided education to produce the workers the companies needed, Apprenticeships, and favorable taxes for small manufacturing companies.

Last year their exports hit $1.1 Trillion. Their wages are high, they lead in many technologies.

This is what Republicans used to be about, diverse small business, paying good wages, with jobs everywhere.

It was not about overhead or labor costs, it was about that wellspring of new ideas and products that America amazed the world with for a hundred years. It was about skilled employees with a better idea building it on weekends in their garage, getting a Patent, and going into production.

This is the most productive part of humans, it has produced more jobs and income than any other system.

Bain Capital got tax breaks for buying and dismembering American Companies, and sending their production off shore.

Democrats wanted to Punish Tax these Minor Capitalist. The Big Companies paid them off, small business was forced to comply with OSHA, EPA, where submitting compliance paperwork costs more than running the company.

Small business is still the largest employer, the largest tax payer, collects all the sales Tax, and supports a vast herd of Government Regulators.

Paperwork has to be filed before starting, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, and payments made to several levels of Government. Records have to be kept for three, seven, ten, or more years.

Tax Deductions that were depended on when starting a business change or vanish over the years.

Business is not notified of new laws that affect them. The result is everyone gets audits and fines, and spends a month in compliance. Often the first known is the door is padlocked, a notice forbids entry, and it takes paying a $20,000 fine to even get in to go over years of paperwork, where hundreds of records filed are now Felony Fraud.

This is how locally owned small business, the largest employer, tax payer, collector of Sales Tax, are treated.

The Governor's Brother in Law becomes Revenue Compliance Officer and all paper work becomes a Speed Trap.

We have been complaining to both sides of the One Party for years, but they like that money.

I do not think Republicans could win, now and for the future.

Trump running could be the end of the party, or blowing it apart and reforming it.

We need local industry, employment, regulation simplified, tax laws that are sure to not change for ten years, and rules favorable to building a family business.

Trump running as an Independent could lose and form the base for a new Party, Trade Deals, Illegal immigration, over regulation of small business, have a wider appeal than either party.

History does repeat, it is a cycle, and the party the Republicans came from was The Wigs. We have a new Wig Party.

Trump wins as a Republican, the Party has been taken over, Small Business and Goldwater Republicans will come back.

Trump speaks of doing whatever it takes to pay off the National Debt. A one time tax on Net Worth, 14.2% of everything over a million, A 1% Securities Transaction Tax, a 1% National Sales Tax, dedicated to Rebuilding America, and not paying Interest on debt allows for taxes to be reduced.

We can take a new direction, we can leave a better world to the next generation.

all the GOP seems to be about these days is "all for me and screw you!"

Voting for Trump screws the GOP.

Then the other half of the one party system is also screwed.

I for one have seen enough of the Bush Clinton years.

Bernie the Independent Socialist is becoming more popular.

Hillary privatized the Office of Secretary of State. She did not last long.

She ran the Official Business of the United States through the Bill and Hill Foundation server.

Libya used to have a stable government. Her hour on the stage left a growing disaster.

When Congress demanded her emails, she erased them, she is just as Presidential as Nixon.

The NSA spies on everyone, Congress can recover what she erased.

Hillary self destructs, Bush loses the Republican vote, They both fade into history.

Bernie and Elisabeth Warren would make a good team, Vs Trump and Carson.

America would win.

one can dream, in any case... [sighs wistfully]

Instead of running on the GOP ticket he should revive the Whig Party!

He would be both their candidate, and their mascot!

Nice...

unfortunately, he has said that if nominated he would get a "more presidential haircut" [read: short]

! !!

being that the kochroaches have effectively locked trump out from the pachyderm party, either he will form an independent party and take many of the GOPTPers with him, or they will dispose of him somehow. this is gonna get ugly.

Although I do agree that we need people with real world experience in economics, we certainly don't need another self-centered jerk in the White House after our latest trainwreck of a President. What this country needs is a new, truly legitimate party. The only people out there who are worth voting for won't make it because the powers that be determine who gets in, not us.

(clicky)study concludes USA is a fascist oligarchy

Donald Trump doesn't wear a wig. He got two potential rapists to pour ice water on him last year:



He seriously accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge from Homer Simpson. I suggest he call him Nigel the Lesser, since a similar strategy was done less than a year ago in the UK elections, and at least that guy has a political seat.
