Agreed on the bankers, but terrified of the commies

due to years of anti commie propaganda and pro capitalist propaganda that has you thinking bankers are good guys. commies outlaw what, private enterprise? Right? So china has private corporations. They are highly regulated and taxed by the state though . . . same thing here in this democracy. We need to overthrow bankers in both countries.

The bankers are swine, I know all about the Fed and the money printing private organization. I was hoping trump might have the balls to deal with them, but not optimistic

First years ago I got excited by Obama, got hoodwinked. More recently in 2016 I member Trump named international bankers in a speech. Wow! Never saw any politician besides Ron Paul do that. But I knew not to trust speeches after Obama and lo and behold Trump's first acts as prez is getting a cabinet full of goldman sachs. Lot of bait and switches in politics, before he became prez Bill Clinton criticized NAFTA, enacts it as prez. If voting did anything they'd outlaw it. I do think it is important for local politics but it is tightly controlled at a higher level.

I like to hope that trump understands the menace, but I'm not sure he does. Hopefully he does something, the scams gone on long enough

Trump is smart, he understands, but he has been working with bankers and using real politik to gain power for decades. You'll be waiting a while if he is your hope.

The only good thing is the economy is doing great right now. It'd be cool to abolish the fed and income tax but it ain't happening, nothing like that, what we can hope for is the continued status quo and no economic crash like 2008.
