Problems: Unemployment & homelessness.

Facts: The government established a monopoly central bank that sets interest rates and manipulates the money supply according to the principles of Keynesian economics. As a result of these false market signals, people made poor investments and the economy has been crippled. Housing prices are artificially inflated, and yet companies invested in constructing buildings that turned out to not have buyers available.

Culprit: TEH FREE MARKIT!!


Problem: Health care costs are too high

Facts: Mutual aid societies that developed during the 1800s have been supplanted by government-monopolized welfare programs, the AMA has lobbied the government to restrict the supply of medical professionals, insurance companies hold de facto cartel status in the states through government controls, and government wage controls made insurance benefits become a standard job benefit that has now collapsed as the employment rate has plummeted.

Culprit: TEH FREE MARKIT!!


Problem: Corporate lobbying

Facts: Corporations are created by government laws, funded by government subsidies, protected from bankruptcy by government bailouts, protected from competition by government protectionist regulations, protected from pollution liability by government EPA programs and court rulings, and protected from micro-production factories and digital distribution by government IP laws and more.

Culprit: TEH FREE MARKIT!!


If this line of reasoning doesn't make sense to you, it's because you're letting logic and evidence pollute your mind. Go watch more cable news until such failings are properly eliminated. Remember, freedom is dangerous. Trust the government. As the election approaches, remember to vote early, vote often, and vote harder!
