I watched this online video because I had gotten extremely concerned with the economy and had not a clue how to cope. Bucks does not mean anything these days. And So I decided to conduct some research and ran into Goldiverse. I am just so fortuitous, I can easily change my savings from cash to all the major currencies, to any precious metal the moment I need. The governing administration can go and take a jump for all I care. Just Bing and yahoo it Goldiverse.

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”

“The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.”

- Abraham Lincoln

Pay the national debt with Lincoln's debt-free "Greenbacks" and stop BORROWING the money. A sovereign nation does not need to borrow money in order for the nation to have a currency. It can ISSUE IT DEBT-FREE.

Neither mainstream Republicans nor mainstream Democrats even talk about that. They only mention the symptoms and never talk about the root of the problem.

Impeach this inept cheese dick what happened with Fast and Furious and Benghazi.. Obama is a fcking joke

[wodanowitz]

I wonder, if there will ever be an medial cover up, once that Obama does not have the power and protection he has now. Barry alias Obama is the biggest Hoax in history.

[wodanowitz]

Well the problem with your story so far, is that you seem to be implying that you would create those jobs. Employers may hire somebody, but they didn't create that job out of thin air. Consumers are job creators, let us not forget that.

Paying taxes to a government that doesn't balance their budget has nothing to do with socialism. Literally, nothing at all. It's not a socialist trait, so you're simply ignorant in that regard.

You've taken advantage of socialism, but I love how you hate it. =)

if your gonna quote me include "raising taxes does not raise revenue, it costs jobs"

if i create a job with hardwork and have 500 employees and my government spends more then it brings in do you think i want to cover for a government that doesn't run a balanced budge at the cost of my families and employees expense?

with the risk of you sounding like a socialist ill answer with "no" for you.

its a very simple math problem. and if you think the spending problems answer is raising taxes, well.
