Food for thought…..

Open border proponents, especially those who enjoy the influx of undocumented workers, like to complain that there are many jobs out there that Americans just won’t do. I call bullshit. The real story is that there may be a lot of jobs out there that Americans just won’t do ----- for the amount of money that the employer is willing to pay. If you pay anyone enough, you can get just about anything done. We have been told that this is how the free market works. These globalists like to tout free markets when it’s in their favor, but believe me, they could care less about it. All they care about is making the most profit that they can, at any price. If that means that American workers are idled and cheap foreign labor is brought in, so be it.

So what if the price of a cheeseburger goes up? Again, that’s the free market. Pay people a living wage and maybe they can afford that more expensive hamburger? I have never understood how American business leaders can justify paying so little to the American worker and expect them to have the ability to purchase their products? It seems to me that Americans are currently at a terrible disadvantage in the manufacturing sector. In China and Mexico, companies can utilize essentially a slave labor force. These companies like to tout how they pay more than what these employees made formerly, yet it’s still a substandard wage. All the while, these corporate titans and their financiers are living like kings and queens. If you were to take a third of their wealth and distribute it to the employees, especially those at the bottom, you’d raise their standard of living a lot, while allowing those at the top to remain filthy rich. How is this accomplished in a free market society?

As much as I hate to say it, you either regulate these companies or you don’t allow them to exist in the first place.  I am not a fan of corporate capitalism. I am all for small businesses. I’m all for anyone building their business as large as they personally can handle. I am not for corporations, which are so large that even government has a hard time regulating them. In fact, these corporations are so large that they can manipulate the government to the point that it no longer cares about it’s citizens because legislators are effectively being bought and sold. Just do a Google search for how many former legislators are now in the lobbying business. Hiring former politicians as lobbyists is just one way that these giant corporations control them. Paying gigantic speaking fees to politicians, publishing, then purchasing large quantities of a politician’s book is another. Most politicians write a book, get paid large money for it, and corporations purchase large lots of these books and then warehouse or destroy them. It’s modern day money laundering. It’s corruption at the highest level. If we didn’t allow corporations to exist, this sort of corruption wouldn’t be so rampant.

Socialism, which normally leads to communism, is not the answer either. In most socialist and communist societies, the people are not as free as they would be in an open capitalistic society, and they would not have as much incentive to work as hard as they could. I’m all for taking care of those who cannot take care of themselves. It should be the civic duty of a compassionate society. I’m also for us as a society to come together and provide for ourselves a common defense to threats, at home and abroad, education, legal matters, and healthcare. We should also provide for a common retirement fund for those who are elderly (Social Security) and means test it. Not everyone will have built a tidy nest egg for themselves, for whatever reason. Not everyone who fails to build wealth in life is in that position because they were lazy. Some yes, but luck plays a large part in doing well in life too.

There should be basic services, such as medical, legal, and education, and social insurance that prevents the elderly and disabled from destitution. In no way should this help be more than what someone could build for themselves working hard, but it should allow for basic living expenses with a little cushion.

There are two camps that are coming out of the political fog right now. It used to be a fight between the left and the right, conservatism and liberalism, but those battle lines hardly exist anymore. Now, mainly because of corporate corruption, we are seeing a great divide between globalists and nationalist. Yes, there are differences between left and right still, but both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump illustrated the nationalist movement that is starting to swell in America, nay, the world. Globalists on both the left and the right have been in lockstep, moving the world into a borderless planet, where the rich are rich and the poor are poor. The globalists can move their money around the planet with ease, exploit resources abroad without hindrance, and ultimately, rule the world.

The wealth and power hungry wolves will stop at nothing to create this new world order that they’ve sought since the end of WWII. The taste of blood is upon their lips and they have grown ravenous. They find it hard to hide their agenda anymore. Anyone who stands in their way is liable to be mowed down. They have purchased the world’s media to push their agenda and propaganda. They have created a society that is destitute, and dependent upon them for survival, even those who work hard. Hard work rarely gets you ahead in this world any longer, and that is due to the globalists who have made it so. They have heaped heavy burdens upon the backs of the middle class, creating enmity between the lower and middle classes while those at the top pay very little and watch Rome burn while they fiddle.

We are at a crossroads in this country. We are at a crossroads in the world. It’s one thing if globalism would have brought prosperity to the citizens of the world, but it hasn’t. It has spread pollution, destitution, and is a cancer on the whole world.

We must defeat the globalists now or forever be indentured to them. Technology is getting to be enough that the elite can watch and control every aspect of a person’s life from abroad. They can use drones, cameras, data tracking, and computers to keep people in line and in check. By removing money and making it electronic, they can control your access to food and other necessities. A cancer is something that keeps growing and running amok. This is globalism. Like a snake, it’s head must be severed.

A perfect world is one where there are multiple governments, people all over the world, free and governing themselves. Each country ought to take care of itself first, then share it’s excesses with the rest of the world. The world ought to keep other countries in check and agree to remain separate from one another. Think of AT&T or Standard Oil. It’s the same thing. Teddy Roosevelt busted them up as he saw the benefit of many smaller entities instead of one large one. That should be the approach the world takes to government. Checks and balances. You lose those checks and balances in a one world government.
