Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid it's much too late for a third party. This past election has proven that the majority of people in this country choose to vote themselves free stuff. I believe this is a direct result of this nation's utter failure to secure our southern border. The current situation will only get worse as we continue to ignore the border. In fact, I believe that blanket immunity for those already here is inevitable. We, the fiscally responsible, patriotic citizens of this country are now the voting minority. There is no longer hope at the polls.
The following was posted on another forum I frequent. It sounds crazy, but just might work?
Okay, first, this is not about crack, but it is about free stuff, and how Americans need to end our era of entitlements, and do it now, while we still can avoid total ruin, and lots of bloodshed.
Also, I want to point out this is a totally bloodless movement. It has no armed rebellion, no riots in the streets and nobody has to do anything illegal at all.
What you will no longer be is a puppet or sheeple for the corrupt DC leaders, and crooks in Wall St.
You will have to give up some things for a short time. Dang few things however.
You run the risk of losing your house, but in the sense that your house is already worth less than the amount you are paying on it, who really loses there?
You might have to declare bankruptcy, or change how you live in some cases. Most of us will not miss the car payments however. And I know that nobody will miss paying their house payments for a period of time.
The basic truth of this movement is to stop paying corrupt banks, and DC leaders the money they need to fund their power base.
In the election, nearly half of the nation voted for more free stuff.
They either get free stuff, or think people should have free stuff from the government, and they support this "Socialism" idea that free stuff is something you and I are entitled too as humans in the USA.
So, the idea of personal responsibility was thrown aside, give me free stuff, or give me more free stuff was the call of the day.
Who pays?
Who buys all the free stuff? Well, if you taxed the rich 100%, they can't even pay for all the free stuff, not even 100 days of it at the current spending levels in DC. What about the other 265+ days? Who pays then?
The middle class.
Yep, you and I my friends, we pay for all the free stuff. Yet do you get serious tax loopholes that allow you to write off much? How about benefits from the Feds? Any free healthcare? Roads? Bridges? Schools? How's that working out for you all?
The roads are full of potholes, the bridges collapse, the schools are failing us, and only the poor get free healthcare, live in free homes, and have free food filling up their kitchens while you and I eat cheap, to try and make the next house payment.
How can we fix this mess?
What solutions does DC offer us?
The "Republicans" offer lower taxes, less government regulations, and more jobs... The "Democrats offer higher taxes on the rich, more government jobs and protections to keep it fair for everyone, and more jobs....
What a joke.
NOBODY points out that spending on FREE STUFF has become so massive, our nation can no longer exist much longer.
The people with their hands out for free stuff exceed what those working hard can provide without massive new taxes on those that work. Not just the very rich, but ANYONE who works will be taxed, and those taxes will be higher and higher to cover the increasing costs of those that refuse to work, or can not work, or are retired from working.
What's worse, is those that game the system, have a "spouse" that's on free stuff, and work themselves, so you get income, but also live free with your "spouse" on the federal dime.
You see reporting of mothers with kids from many fathers, who have no plans to ever end getting free stuff, and demand that you and I pay for their every need. Including cell phones and other things not needed to exist, such as TV, internet and nice stuff in their homes.
Businesses are willing to cash in/out food stamps for actual cash, and it happens every day that food stamp money is used to buy things like booze, and cigs.
Healthcare is a joke to these folks, it's free for them, and they have no other responsibilities in life, indeed, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THEM.
So, how are we going to solve this problem my friends?
The idea that corrupt DC leaders will solve the problem is a pipe dream, and smoke and mirrors at best. There is no serious resolve to fix the broken system. For decades, we have watched them kick the can down the street, all while building themselves power and personal wealth, while the average citizen has seen their taxes go up, and return on those taxes go down year after year after year.
The only way I see to fix the system, is to BREAK IT from the inside out.
The laws are there to support you. Use them. Go sign up for food stamps. Get free healthcare. Get assistance on your housing. Get assistance on your power bill, water bill etc. Get free cell phones. Get signed up for disability. Go get and find the maximum amount of free stuff you can get, and suck the very life out of the system that is indeed, killing our nation.
Kill it from the inside out. Do it with purpose, and go sign up for Federal Student loans, and improve your education, so when the system fails, and it will, you will be ready to get a better job/career going forward into the next period of time in our nation's history.
This includes stopping the payment of ANY upside down loans. Sell off your cars if you must, get a vehicle with less than 7000.00 value, prepare for hard times ahead with food/water storage, and have a plan to deal with the system collapsing under it's own weight. Get your friends, family and neighborhoods to work together to take down entire towns, overloading the fed system of free stuff. The Wall St. banks will scream and cry out that they will collapse the economy...
Yay. That's the first step in the DC re-set. When the free stuff ends, the power these bozo's have will END.
When tens of millions more are on the dole, the system will break the banks, and the DC bozos.
REAL change will happen. Real changes to entitlement spending will have to be put into place, and people will have to work for what they get again. (And this will be better for the nation, much better than it is now.)
Banks, if they want to remain, will have to re-set loans, rates and values. I know from personal experience, they will do this. They will give you better interest rates, and they will write off part of their loan, just to get you back to where you pay them money every month again.
Will it be painless?
Of course not. You might lose cable TV. Or have to drive a car that's not brand new.
You might have to declare bankruptcy, but I doubt it. (Imagine the overload on the system there with say 20 million or more being dumped into the system...)
Housing prices will fall, but in the end, the market forces will correct to a new level, and one that's based on reality, not some propped up fantasy level we have today.
And in a few years, when the DC folks have been broken, and the more than 60% of fed spending we have now has ENDED on entitlements, our nation will be better off for it.
I would not be surprised that wages improve, and since many who use this plan to their benefit will have improved their education, what millions make now will go up, as the nation recovers into the next page of history, better off for the changes, and hopeful for a brighter future.
