The free market should sort them out

Forced quarantines & mandatory business shutdowns ≠ the free market.

Neither is massive government bailouts that pick the winners and losers...

I think the airlines will be allowed to fail in the near future.

Agenda 21.

Doesn't the US have a $23 trillion debt?

This feels like Obama's 3rd term.

As if presidents have any influence over these financial bubbles created by the Federal Reserve over 8-12 year cycles

Wow.

The problems of today could be solved by doing what the government did in the past- NOTHING.

Americans scream FEMA camps are the only solution for natural disasters, but San Francisco recovered from the 1906 earthquake without government help.

Americans insist concentration camps are the only answer to viruses, but the government did nothing about a cholera outbreak in 1832.

Americans say the only possible solutions to deal with illegal immigrants are to build a wall, have warrantless searches, DNA databases, license plate scanners, and build concentration camps, but the US used to have open borders.

Americans say the only solution to recessions is to give billion dollar bailouts to bankers who commit fraud and give welfare to the lazy, but the US recovered from the Panic of 1893 without government action.

The government starts a problem and offers a solution. Why not avoid starting a problem in the first place?

If the government starts a trade war that kills the economy and then offers bailouts, why not just avoid starting a trade war in the first place?

If the government increases the minimum wage and regulations that kill businesses and raise prices and then offers welfare, why not just reduce the minimum wage and regulations?

The government is not a holy god. The government is force.

Why not allow the free market to handle problems?

The private market and charities cannot provide disaster relief?

The free market cannot provide medical care, delivery companies, railroads, airports, schools, fire departments, private mediation, and security companies?

Do your shoes come from government shoes factories?

Can't churches teach morals?

Do you really trust the government to tell you what the truth is?

Does the government spend your money better than you do?

People don't have any personal responsibility?

Can't you move away from people you don't like?

Can't you save money to prepare for downturns?

Can't Americans boycott products with cheap prices instead of begging for a trade war that kills the economy?

Can't Americans quit low paying jobs, learn a skill, move to another city, or start a business instead of thinking a minimum wage will magically make them rich with no unintended consequences?

Is tyranny something that only affects others, but not you?

Are Americans retarded children?

Didn't tyranny kill millions of people in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, China, and Cambodia?

Think.

The government is not legitimate.

The globalists give campaign donations and cushy job promises to politicians to run up the debt, start wars, and make laws that enslave Americans. The Gestapo enforces the decrees. Americans obey the laws.

The only reason the system works now is that everyone thinks the government is legit. If no one obeyed, the system would crumble.

The government and illegal aliens don't obey the law.

Why should Americans?

You cannot vote for freedom because the US is not a democracy. The election machines can be hacked.

You wouldn't pay money to the mafia. Why should you give money to the government?

Don't get marriage licenses, birth certificates, business licenses, passports, driver licenses, or fishing licenses. Don't register for the draft or fill out census forms.

Don't obey the law. If straws are illegal, use a straw. If baseball hats are illegal, wear a baseball cap.

Stop paying taxes.

The elites can't kill us all. There are not enough jails.

Drop out today. Go Galt. Go off the grid.

Americans shouldn't walk around like everything is fine when the US is bankrupt warmongering police state.

Silence means consent.

The blood from US wars and tyranny is on your hands. Don't you feel any guilt? Is anyone responsible for anything?

Think.

Pass the word.
