After a careful review of the options for the up-coming election:
(a) A man who can’t account for his money and wants ‘change you can believe in’ (but never says what the change is).
(b) A Republican that doesn’t seem to have Republican values.
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1) Press 1 for English is immediately banned. English is the official language. Speak it or wait at the border until you can.
(2) We will immediately go into a two-year isolationist posture to straighten out the country’s attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the ‘Wal-Mart’ policy: ‘If we ain’t got it, you don’t need it.’
(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.
(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (Six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5) Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn’t put nuttin’ in, you ain’t getting’ nuttin’ out. Neither the president nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6) Welfare – Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week, and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.
That’s almost as silly as Obama’s ‘platform’–but it would be an interesting overhaul of the government!
The trade barriers passed in the 20s were one of the major causes of the world wide depression. Eliminating 5 Billion customers for our stuff won’t help us.
I like #1, 4, 5, and #6 the best. Sure wish we could pass laws to enforce them!
