December Rant - I can't believe I'm Channeling Donald Trump!

Hey Burr, Hey Hagan get off your @55e$ and make something happen. You say you want to create jobs. What are you going to do to bring jobs back to America? Who do you represent the Chinese and Wall Street or the people of North Carolina?

I can't believe I am in the position of supporting Donald Trump! Are we running Mexico or this country. Our country is not the force it used to be. It is no longer respected the way it used to be. Wilmington, Ohio; Newton, Iowa; Hickory, North Carolina and many, many more. Cities that used to thrive with manufacturing and entrepreneurship and you politicians have left the citizens hanging. You have brought this country to its knees.

I know that Senator Hagan is in the pockets of the banksters and Senator Burr has been bought by the Insurance industry. They both voted to reappoint the Goldman Sachs toady Ben Bernanke to Chairmanship of the Federal Reserve. These two have shown me no understanding of Common Sense Economics. I know they understand politics, but what about business and what is in the economic interests of the State of North Carolina.

Job Creation is the issue of the day. The problems are clear as the day is long. We need tariffs on these Third World Imports. We need to stop supporting these companies that have taken our jobs overseas.

I don't care if Nike is paying the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and its coaches millions of dollars to be marketing prostitutes for their product. No State supported Universities should be outfitting their teams with goods made from Chinese Slave Labor or for that matter made in the Maquiladoras of Latin America. They should be wearing clothing made in the United States. Heck! North Carolina State University should be designing and manufacturing their own athletic equipment!

I want to ask you. Who do you think is going to provide you a better product. An employee that you take care of and invest in or someone with a metaphorical or virtual gun pointed at their head? What incentive do these people in the third world have to create a top notch product. It seems like workers are considered expendable these days. They don't even enter into the equation. That is wrong! We can't build communities like this.

Your eyes do not deceive you. Only the Wizards of Wall Street and their marketing guru, mind programmers have you convinced to the contrary. You buy an electronic gadget from China and it doesn't work. Shuck it in the garbage and we will send you a new one. Oh, that toy has lead paint, here's your money back. Now come buy some more. That lot of furniture you imported is shoddy. Burn it and we'll send some more. Oh, the dog food killed your dog -- Oops.

The multi-national companies doing all of this are treated as though they are above the law. They aren't held accountable to the extent American based small companies are. This has had a dire effect on our economy. I know that they will pull the Smoot-Hawley card out of the playbook. Folks, we were already in the depression in 1930 when this Tariff Act passed and at that time we were net exporters. All we have been asking for for the last 20 years is a level playing field!

We don't have free trade. We are getting ripped off for the interests of a few people on Wall Street and the oligarchs of other nations. We have wasted so much money over the last few years through so called stimulus plans that sent our money to foreign nations, because we don't produce anything. How was anyone expecting these stimulus plans to have any impact on our economy?

This has been criminal. It is fraud. Forget Julian Assange who is not even a U.S. citizen. He is a diversion. Are our foreign trade problems and diplomacy issues created from incompetence or is this treason? Probably a little of both.

I'm not saying that Donald Trump is the right man for the Presidency, but I will say that I am onboard with pushing this agenda forward. And if you aren't with us, then I need to hear some tangible reasons why.

You say you want to create jobs. HOW?
You say you want to rebuild the entrepreneurial spirit. What are we going to sell?
You say you want to help small business. Where's the proof? What does the past show?
Look at NAFTA, the WTO, GATT... Why are we creating incentives for businesses to leave our country?

You are either for us or against us!
THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
