For some reason I think Trump is still in the locker room.
"Hey, I have a bigger one than you have"


My thoughts also, Janneseti...

Hence, my statement about waving his 'manhood' around, in an earlier post.

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.

their Government is still somewhat centrally planned

Now what is wrong with that M.K.?


Everything... I am a Laissez-Faire Capitalist and a Libertarian Minarchist.


Laissez Faire Capitalism

"Laissez Faire" is French for "leave alone" which means that the government leaves the people alone regarding all economic activities. It is the separation of economy and state.

There are two ways that a government typically is tempted to interfere with the economy. The first is through the initiation of force, and the second is through socialized industries. Neither of these activities are aligned with the proper role of government, and are both unacceptable.

Minarchism is a libertarian political philosophy which advocates for the State to exist solely to protect citizens from aggression, theft, breach of contract, and fraud. Minarchists generally propose that the only legitimate governmental institutions are the military, police, and courts. However, some advocates propose fire departments, prisons, the executive, and legislatures as legitimate government functions. Such states are regarded as night-watchman states.

Over here a lot of us want to get rid of state governments as they're a level of government (and red-tape) that we as a country can't afford for much longer.

But then again we also have many levels of fail safes against corruption in government where as your type of government just encourages it.

Cheers.


Concentration of power is dangerous... It WILL (sooner or later) be abused.

The 'state governments' are part of OUR fail-safes.

What works for you works for you.

What works for us works for us.

Accept it, for in truth OUR system of government is none of your business, just as yours is none of our business.

Thought tRump wanted to do away with regulations on business?
https://www.afp.com/en/news/205/g20-consensus-protectionism-damaging-global-economy
The Group of 20 major economies sent a message Friday on the threat that rising protectionism poses to the global economy, but the United States cast doubt over its adherence to that stance.

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reiterated the Trump administration's emphasis on defending America against what it sees as unfair trade practices, and called on the IMF to do more in its watchdog role.

His comments came just hours after a meeting of G20 finance ministers in Washington which saw Germany's Wolfgang Schaeuble say there was "broad agreement" that "free trade is better for global growth."
Apparently he wants more regulations on business!
