 "A banana republic is a commercial enterprise for profit by collusion between the State and favoured monopolies, whereby the profits derived from private exploitation of public lands is private property, and the debts incurred are public responsibility. Such an imbalanced economy reduces the national currency to devalued paper-money, hence, the country is ineligible for international development credit and remains limited by the uneven economic development of town and country. Kleptocracy, government by thieves, features influential government employees exploiting their posts for personal gain (embezzlement, fraud, bribery, etc.)" wikipedia IP: Logged |

I can tell from your responses that you haven't thought through the implications of what you've said. America is the richest nation on earth, with the largest economy on earth. Yet, our Socialist "Top Banana" has flown the American economy straight into the ground. Perhaps we should trade our Socialist "Top Banana" O'Bomber for Dilma Rousseff or Cristina Fernández de Kirchner OR, we can just wait until November 2, 2012 and trade in O'Bomber on a Sarah Palin presidency.

Node, do you oppose the Federal Reserve Act of 1913?If given a chance, would you vote to repeal the Federal Reserve Act? You don't sound like the usual Ron Paul supporter. IP: Logged |
