Tornado Alley (PROG)

LOL that's a great theory you have there. You understand gold and silver are finite resources, correct? What happens when all the mines run out?Tthere's a reason we abandoned the gold standard a long time ago. The system would have collapsed under itself if we didn't and who exactly would control the value of your gold and silver coins? They would no longer be able to be traded as a commodity rendering them basically worthless, again imminent collapse of our economy.

The flat tax idea has been pushed for as long as I can remember and if it worked, it would have been implemented long ago. Of course all the large corporations would be long gone from our soil and we would have had stagnant to negative growth for the past decades to go along with our worthless gold coins but it sure makes for a great fever dream.

I also don't think that you understand that helping our foreign allies is in our best interest because it helps the people at home so their children don't have to be drafted to fight in foreign wars. I'm also old enough to remember some major legislation being passed just in the last few years that absolutely juiced the middle class but every opponent complained that we were spending too much money on our own citizens and out of the other side their mouth complain that we don't spend enough.

What's it going to be? Do you just prefer to spend the rest of your life bitching or do you want to actually support the things that improve our quality of life and our standing on the global stage? It sounds to me like you just prefer to bitch. We have the strongest economy in the world but that's not good enough. We have the most powerful military in the world but that's not good enough. Not one of your or my ancestors was a native of this country but you somehow think immigration is a bad thing. Your circular arguments do not hold any water and have been proven time and again to be flat out wrong.
