Here it is.. Thanks to a friend Tim for posting the link.

I thought I’d just ask some questions about these issues.. First off though, I must say my friend is the first to answer a simple question I’ve posed quite a few times while tweeting and facebooking about. What do you stand for? So again, thank you for posting. Here’s some questions & thoughts just going down the list…
So, we need a gov’t bureaucrat to help us take care of people who get sick? Why, we can’t do it ourselves? What does a bureaucrat, paid by you, know better than you know yourself? And why pay for the government bureaucrat? Government money does not come free. Your kids will be letting you know about this later on.
Capitalism is the most efficient wealth redistribution model ever invented. So which gov’t bureaucrat is gonna tell you what’s ‘fair’? Milton Friedman’s little one and a half minute video tells us all why. Please, take the time to watch this. Friedman’s explanations of things was always so eloquent and simple. The video is down off the top a little.. https://investorjunkie.com/economics/milton-friedman-ways-spend-money/
Every human being in America has healthcare right now. Why have gov’t tell you what to do? What makes them so brilliant rather than Dr’s & patients getting together, with the doctors knowing the patient can shop other places? Trump’s idea of price transparency is so fantastic!! I just wish it was done by law and not the Executive Order.. These E.O.s are NOT good for America. We don’t need Kings..
“Healing the Soul of America????” Please. It’s only your side trying to destroy the soul of America. Give us one example of a riot & looting being staged by Republicans?
Combating Climate Crisis, Pursuing Environmental Justice?? What on earth is environment justice, and just who makes up the list of who gets some justice? Like I said earlier, Capitalism is the most efficient wealth redistribution method. That’s why everyone in the world still wants to come here, or maybe to London for wine! Why is force from a huge gov’t bureaucracy living off your back better than individual people & business making the decisions? Look at Tesla.. Nissan I think has a Hydrogen car. Are you forced to buy them? No, you’re FREE to buy them. We are the cleanest 1st world country, or close to it, without forcing you young folks to hand over trillions to China & India for 10 years, before they’ll ‘try’ to begin to lower emissions 2% after another 10 years..!! Two Percent!! Sorry, you and I taking care of our own small piece of the world, together, will change the world with OUR choices..
Restoring the strength of our Democracy…
We are not a Democracy. Democracy is Mob Rule & the Founders knew it. Remember that little story about the two kids who want the third kid’s bike, so they vote to take it? That’s Democracy.. Think of us as our own little ship on the Civil Society, and our government is mandated to protect every ship’s Life, Liberty, and Contracts ( Happiness is signing those contracts. I’m sure you would agree? )
What does having a 21st Century immigration policy even mean? We already know, don’t we? No laws, open borders and tons of competition for the jobs on lower rungs of the economy. Just those jobs our young people need in order to learn responsibility and what hard work & merit means. You don’t have borders, you don’t have a country. We want immigration but not the Socialist kind.
Providing a world class education system? Back to what I said about Capitalism being the most efficient redistribution method ever invented. Our schools are terrible. Teachers being told what to do and today literally being o.k with wanting to slant our history to focus on slavery as the foundational issue of the time. I’d like to know where there wasn’t slavery in 1619. Project 1619 as the focus of our kid’s understanding of America is disgusting. Telling young kids their country is brimming, to this day, with hate, and your friend who has different colored skin can’t be your friend anymore because of skin color, because his mommy’s ancestors hated yours?????????????? Shame on anybody supporting this bullcrap. I’m sorry. Every god damn taxpayer dollar OUT of education. Make it the parent & the teacher. The good teachers offering what the parent wants will bring the cream to the top. The teacher will be free, and if there’s enough parents wanting their kids to think our country is a place filled with hatred, there’ll be a school teaching it. Free market capitalism. Just what we want. No more tenured Marxist professors secretly taking Chinese money for favors.

ast but not least, Renewing American Leadership…Sigh, America is a spirit the world feels.. Americans don’t need some politician in Washington DC, to ‘lead’ us anywhere. Look where they’ve all led us…. to a world swimming in debt that one day will come home to roost, when the Keynesian can no longer refinance it because there’s too much floating around. President Trump is looking to turn the reigns over to the individual, just like the Constitution mandates, us telling the politicians what to do, not the other way around, Ms. Tyrant Polosi Capitalism is what matters, and what the world wants. Capitalism, the worlds most efficient way to redistribute wealth.
