Yeah
It could last a long time
Really I think this country is almost too big
Unless we decentralize the government more
More power to the states
Most federal laws for example are just backdoor shit
No, that can't function correctly because the states will just refuse to fund the federal government, this was the problem the first time around
Feds can't arrest you for murder? Ok, we will get you for "violating his civil rights"
How much funding do the feds really need?
We're talking about the military, and a few other branches, which chalk up a huge portion of the government, even if we trim down the federal government, which i totally agree on, the states will not fund even whats still needed at the end
states can barely fund themselves, let alone the government
Then the states should have larger armies.
States could raise taxes if the feds lower them
Difference is your dollar is supporting your state, not the one at the other end of the country
The point of the Union was that the Federal Army was to protect everyone
not the army of each state
I'm in favor of keeping a federal army. But not a huge one
Say a third federal. A third all states combined. A third private.
We privatize fire departments, EMS, security including of government and military institutions
Why not soldiers?
Nah but it would be nice
If we wish to maintain power, now, during and after the civil war, we must not stoop to their level and become extremists. The only way we can win this fight, is to do it for the right reasons
If we go to war for the reason of "CLEANSING" then we will not be granted victory. We must be right in our hearts and in our intents, a good and just cause will lead us to victory, if we allow our hate for our enemies to fuel our fight, then we are no better than our enemy.
When they come to rape and kill the people you care about, you'll hate them
I didnt say I wont Hate them, I said I won't let it fuel my fight. You must be able to keep a calm cool head for the fight that is coming
I know
Been in that situation before
We have to be ready for the long haul, but we must be wary, we must not let it consume us in the fight.
When you realise Ron Paul would have cut government more than Trump.
he planned to cut 1 trillion dollars from spending
why does the usa have a department for education anyway
Ron paul is amazing
when the tenth amendment states it should be state run
yeah I like some of what he says
Surely it is the case that the Ron Paul had a track record like trump of being consistent with his views on certain issues
I like his son a lot better
Ron has some good ideas but he's too libertarian for me
saw a Ron Paul car-ticket once on an expensive vcar in 2008 in Florida
