scream-of-consciousness;
"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
"Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot."
I was tearing up watching this. God bless the Productives of the USA, not the Progressives. Progressivism is narcissism expressed as politics. Productivism is making it better for: Customers Employees Vendors and Suppliers Owners amd Governments.
No, the government didn't build our family business. In fact, the government didn't even build the roads. Or anything else our nation depends on. People like my father and mother built them, from the Al-Can Highway in the Teslin, to Quabin Reservoir in Belchertown, to the Florida Canal in Ocala. And I have the pictures to prove it.
This 'you didn't build that' thing really got my goat.
Helly, My grand dad also worked on the Alcan Highway, Boulder Dam and many other lesser known major projects... HE built them, along with his fellow Americans with American tax payer dollars... Not the narcissist in chief... RAK
Brought a tear to my eye, beautiful.

These businesses need to be tracked to see if they come up for harassment by the IRS.
