To improve our economy and country

I agree America is in a tough place. Dismantling the New World Order’s economic grip and restoring the Hamiltonian economic system, which made America the worlds greatest economy since the 1880s thru manufacturing and production and gave all the GI’s jobs after WWII, is going to take a little time and will bring the “ire” of globalist corporations.

But to rebuild the middle class, Americans need to hang tough and see it through!

The GI Bill (a supplement to tuitions, text books & board) wasn’t free, it came with a previous commitment: service in one of the branches of our armed forces. The men and women who benefit from this bill (then and now) first put their lives on the line for America, they earned it! An education doesn’t create jobs, jobs are created thru industry, manufacturing & production, to say otherwise is a lie.

It was when our gov. expanded into the college loan business that the “pillars” of higher education saw free money! Tuitions started to rise, useless degrees started being given accreditation and expectations decreased. When remedial classes need to be taught to freshmen, it’s a sign that college for all (not the best and brightest) is doing more harm than good.

Proof are all the grads with outrages loans and degrees that don’t translate to employment: are stuck with debt that makes them stagnant and economically crippled. Stats show that when colleges gave out loans (thru their multi million dollar foundations) they

were selective and taught degrees that were employable, knowing the grads would be able to pay them off….imagine that!

Pres. Obama pushed the ACA down the throats of Americans with the promise “you can keep your doctor”…a lie! The ACA was a deal with the insurance companies that guaranteed them big returns! Again thru gov. intervention, the open market disappeared and premiums have done nothing but increase and health care decrease; as seen by the decrease in life expectancies.

Freeing Americans from the fascist mandate…buy insurance or go to jail…was a first step, but we still need an open market place where insurance companies work for our money, not just enjoy the guaranteed premiums received thru Obamacare, only then shall we see health cost go down.

According to figures based on the neutral Tax Foundation’s analysis of IRS data: Top 1% pay an average 23.1%; Top 5% pay 21.6%; Top 10% pay 20.4%; Top 25% pay 18.5%; Top 50 pay 15.7% and the Bottom 50 pay only 3.7% Those whom cry that our tax structure favors the rich are in the business of fear mongering! Studies have shown over and over that a flat tax (off the top) of 10% for personal and 15% for corporations would erase our national debt within five years and provide more money for government programs.

Pres. Trump is no con-man. He has strategically out maneuvered the globalist and is freeing America from trade agreements that led to the destruction of America’s manufacturing and production since the 1970s which has diminished our middle class.

He has brokered peace to eight wars. And thru the Abraham Accords and the Board of Peace has Arabs and Israelis working together to end the terrorist state of Iran. Halting the slaughter of over 40,000 peaceful protesters is but not Christian humanitarianism…something the UN has failed to do in all of it’s existence. 

Trump loves America and is showing what a true leader can do for the benefit of all Americans.
