Perot also warned us that "jobs would exit the country" and sure enough, they did under Clinton in massive numbers. Each successive President just stood back and watched the exodus. And waved bye bye. Then Clinton rescinded Glass-Steagall which removed the restrictions separating personal banking from investment banking, giving rise to the crash of 2008. And then the tards wonder why we didn't want another Clinton.

Clinton was a disaster for the country, but the effects weren't felt for decades later and we tend to think of him favorably because the economy did well, which had nothing to do with Clinton and everything to do with the Tech surge in Personal Computers.

The government is not legitimate.

The globalists give campaign donations and cushy job promises to politicians to run up the debt, start wars, and make laws that enslave Americans. The Gestapo enforces the decrees. Americans obey the laws.

The only reason the system works now is that everyone thinks the government is legit. If no one obeyed, the system would crumble.

The government and illegal aliens don't obey the law.

Why should Americans?

You cannot vote for freedom because the US is not a democracy. The election machines can be hacked.

You wouldn't pay money to the mafia. Why should you give money to the government?

Don't get marriage licenses, birth certificates, business licenses, passports, driver licenses, or fishing licenses. Don't register for the draft or fill out census forms.

Don't obey the law. If straws are illegal, use a straw. If baseball hats are illegal, wear a baseball cap.

Stop paying taxes.

The elites can't kill us all. There are not enough jails.

Drop out today. Go Galt. Go off the grid.

Americans shouldn't walk around like everything is fine when the US is bankrupt warmongering police state.

Silence means consent.

The blood from US wars and tyranny is on your hands. Don't you feel any guilt? Is anyone responsible for anything?

Think.

Pass the word.

I remember when he said that on tv. I still hear it in his voice. The other thing I remember is he personally went and got his employee back from a kidnapping. Badass.

The elites will never say there are enough taxes, wars, debt, and tyranny.

The ruling class will continue their insanity until the US Ponzi economy collapses, the 99% are sent to the concentration camps, a civil war breaks out, and WWIII starts so they can divide the wealth of the world among themselves. This is the end game. The only question is when.

You would need to be living under a rock not to see this.

Maybe the debt will be paid off by illegal immigrants, technology, a zero percent tax rate, or magic fairy dust, but the reality is that the US debt is increasing constantly, no one cares, and spending more money to reduce the debt will only lead to disaster.

Debt didn’t work out too well for Rome, Germany, Japan, Greece, or Zimbabwe.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Wow. I have not thought of him in a while. He died July of this year! He sure was entertaining, he would have made an interesting president.

All of us pay the national debt. Except the ones who get it tax free like the tax cuts to the oligarch. The debt is all money we print. Once it goes up to the top they hord it. We keep paying. Unrigging the system. That takes balls only one is doing that he should be president of the United States of America. Unrigging is hard work. Bernie has got us I like that. I find it stunning in simplicity America needs that money back. As interest rises we are so fucked. Thanks Trump and his minions.

Perot talked more about jobs than national debt. The sucking sound was jobs leaving due to NAFTA. i feel like he was the precursor of trump, now trump wasn't thrid party but he was somewhat an outsider to the repub party. Trump sold out and hasn't renegotiated nafta, and perot later benefitted from nafta after criticizing it, that tells me if Perot somehow became prez he would have sold us out. None of these politicians are our hope.

Wow.

The American response to the US collapse is to deny that the USA is decaying, praise their beloved government overlords, and attack anyone who criticizes the government.

Americans scream anyone who loves freedom is a junkie.

Americans simply seem unable to recognize cause and effect.

If the government destroys the economy with regulations, Americans slam private charities that help the homeless.

If gas prices rise because the government increased gas taxes, Americans blame oil companies.

If the government bans coal power plants and mandates that everyone buy electric cars, Americans blame electric companies.

If the Gestapo arrest someone for smoking at Burger King, Americans blame Burger King.

If the government fails to protect the border, Americans criticize a nonprofit that tries to construct a private border wall.

When the US starts wars that lead to refugees, Americans attack churches that help house the refugees.

When the NSA unconstitutionally wiretaps Americans 24/7, Americans criticize Google.

When the government starts a trade war that reduces US exports and raises prices, Americans criticize China.

When the government uses asset forfeiture, Americans attack the ACLU for suing the government.

When the government steals money at the point of a gun from taxpayers to fund food stamps, Americans attack Walmart for selling food that helps lazy people become fat.

Americans absolutely don't care that the government has outlawed everything, but Americans become batshit insane when they hear that private prisons have government contracts to lock people up.

Americans don't mind that regulations have destroyed the economy and has lead to homelessness, but Americans lose their minds that the Gestapo don't arrest the homeless for public urination.

Americans don't care that female circumcision is illegal, but Americans become outraged when they find out that male circumcision is legal.

Americans don't care that vaping is outlawed, but Americans explode when they hear that smoking is legal.

Americans don't mind that mobile phones are banned while driving, but Americans lose their heads when they hear that people can use mobile phones while voting.

Americans don't mind if they are forced to have an ID to buy a gun, but Americans become livid with rage that you aren't required to have an ID to vote.

Americans don't care if taxes are high if wetbacks are deported.

Americans scream forcing hospitals to list prices means freedom.

Insanity.
