We told them the wealth would "trickle down!" HAHAHA

You don’t have to be a wackadoo libertarian to realize that both major parties are making major mistakes (believe me, I’m not a libertarian). The problem comes from both sides caring more about elections than they do about people. In order to actually fix it, we need to stop spending so much money on things that we don’t need without putting innocent, hardworking people in positions that they would be in if Ron Paul got his Hooverian “self-determinism” way.

The solution is simpler than you may think, cutting in a lot of unneeded places and increasing taxes on the wealthy (not because they make more, but as punishment. It’s certainly not the lower classes’ fault that the economy is the way it is). Firstly, there are two wars that we need to end. Whether we’re out of Iraq, we’re still meddling in Afghanistan and the Middle East, and it’s a tremendous waste of money. Defense spending could easily be cut by 25%. The other war is, you guessed it, the failed war on drugs. I can’t begin to explain how much money this would save on incarceration costs, law-enforcement, etc. The government has no right to regulate what people put into their bodies, if it induces violence, arrest them for the violence, not the drug. The drug in itself isn’t harming anyone. I’m sad to say this, but in the United States we spend far too much money prolonging the already miserable senescence of the elderly population. It’s almost taboo to speak of cutting from Medicare and Medicaid, but pragmatically, what sense does using tax dollars to keep non-contributing members of society alive make? The last thing to cut is all of the unnecessary bureaucratic government organizations. Not the department of education or actually important ones like Ron Paul wants to do (albeit those could be heavily reformed), but I mean, do we really need a department of weather?
