The Ancient Military City States of Greece, knew all too well \ˈdē-wi-ˌde-ˌ et- ˈim-pe-ˌrä\
Divide and Conquer Some interpret this old strategy to mean divide
and rule The idea is that in order to control a large group or dominate
a large group of people, you must break them up into smaller groups
So the concept is this,,, In warfare or In economics or In sociology or In politics
The ultimate strategy in ruling or conquering a group,,,, ,,,,, is that you must divide them ,,,,, and
then you can conquer them or you can rule them
Division is key to weakening any people "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United
States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all." I pledge allegiance to the ONE flag of the
ONE United States of America and to the ONE republic for which it stands One Nation under
God indivisible This United States of America is indivisible
In the face of fascism, civil war, the threat of secession, assassinations, world wars.
We have stood firm as a people, indivisible, undivided, united
And because of our unity, and because of our unity as a people and because of our principles
and because of the principles granted in The Constitution of the United States,,,
We are set apart from every other nation in the world
,,,,,,,,,It is because of this unity as a people that
Liberty and Justice and Freedom for all,,,,,is possible
My Pro-life friends,, I have this one thing against you
Why is it that you elect and maintain representatives in government that strongly support economically,,,,,,,
through aggressive trade agreements with other foreign countries,,, agreements that financially support these other
countries that fundamentally oppose everything that you believe in
Everything, that you believe in from top to bottom
Virtually everything you stand for ,, you support through these trade agreements
economic strongholds that oppose what you believe
everything that you teach, everything you represent everything you believe
And my Prochoice friends,,, why are you so one dimensional , so one faceted
It begs the question,,,,, Are you truly prochoice?
Is it not possible that each group can come along side a young girl who is going through
the most difficult time of her life That you EACH take a hand and present what
you believe And without the name calling , the dissention,
the hyper sensationalism, Guide her through her most painful and possibly the most difficult
time of her life And each propose a path Each offer a way so
she might decide the way she should go Being united in spirit although you differ
in creed,,,,,,,,, And bring your ideology to the halls of congress,
to the floor of the senate, to the desk of the white house
Corporate America you must understand that American Workers in the United States must
earn wages that will support American families with homes, American families
with food, American families with clothing, all the essentials of life,, and so that the American families
in the United States can be independent of Government assistance
Henry Ford understood this principle ,,, so he took the first step by substantially increasing
the pay of his workers so that they could actually afford to buy
the very products they were producing. ,,,,,
And the American Auto industry flourished , and the industries related to that industry
flourished, and then the industries related to those industries flourished ,, and so did
America,,,,
Alexander Hamilton and the founding fathers of this country believed this "that protective tariffs is the
lever that drives American industry"
They believed that if they stymied foreign imports,, American industries and American
families would prosper,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and that is exactly what happened for years
to come
In recent years , we have done almost the exact opposite of what the founding fathers
believed as far as foreign trade policy
In fact, if we were to go back to what even what Ronald Regan supported in protective
tariffs,,,, based on current economic numbers we would be raising an additional 275 billion dollars
in new revenue from foreign interests alone,, every year
I believe, that American manufacturing would then be stimulated again just as the founding
fathers believed,,,,,,, and we could produce about 81 billion in revenue from manufacturing
jobs and save about 100 billion dollars in government assistant
programs like, unemployment, food stamps, housing,
and these numbers are conservative
If we supported Richard Nixon's foreign trade policy we would raise approximately 500 billion
dollars in just foreign revenue and of course about 81 billion dollars in revenue from manufacturing
jobs and save about 100 Billion Dollars in government assistant programs like, unemployment,
food stamps, housing, So,if Richard Nixon's foreign trade policy was put in place,
we would raise 500 billion dollars annually, plus jobs, plus savings in gov't assistant programs
John F Kennedy era and Lyndon Johnson 750 billion dollars plus jobs plus government
program cuts President Wilson, President Harding, President
Coolidge, President Hoover, President Roosevelt, all the way to President Truman,,,,
pick your favorite, Pick your favorite Democrat pick your favorite Republican,, 1 trillion dollars a year in
revenue from just foreign interest in this country plus jobs plus government program
cuts
In the last 10 to 20 years we have had the weakest foreign trade policies in the history
of our nation and we have paid dearly for it.
If we would at least embrace Ronald Reagan's foreign trade policy we could raise an additional
260 billion dollars next year, and If we embraced John F Kennedy's
domestic economic policies such as stopping Corporate Tax Dodgers,,, that earn billions
yet pay absolutely nothing in taxes We could,,, and we would,,,,, reduce taxes
on middle class families,,,, and these tax cuts would even further stimulate the economy
Listen,, we can save billions in government programs,, increase billions in revenue without
increasing taxes on American Families In fact, we could have tax cuts across the
board And further still, Wall Street knows,,,,,
Wall Street understands that we can pay down the deficit with other conservative domestic
programs that have been proven to work Because if the truth be known,, if the truth
be known Our deficit is very manageable and should not be used for political leverage
There is a company in Woodstock Illinois that produces electromagnetic parts,, that are
used in microwaves and communication equipment they have some new competition that just opened
in China and South America,,, We need to safeguard those jobs
There is a cast iron company there as well,, We need to safeguard those jobs
There is a precision machine shop in Harvard Illinois ,, has some new competition abroad
we need to protect those jobs
We need to safeguard American Jobs ,,,,,,,,,
And as a united people,,,,,,,, Reform abuses in welfare Reform government
programs It isn't just cut the programs It is managing
and adjusting the programs ,,,,, so that they work properly
We need to place people in office that have ideas not just the usual political generalities
not just the common party positions,, not just the usual professional politicians
We need proposals that make modifications that make the system more efficient,,, changes that
save money and not just propose blanket, blinded cuts
And rather than point the finger at everyone else,,,,,, and create needless fear,,,,,,,
and never bring any real solutions to the problems to the table,,,,,,,
We need to elect people that bring true change We need new leadership that bring viable, constructive, change
Rather than just give blind corporate tax breaks ,,,,,, Let's invest in modernizing
our industries just as our foreign competition does
Let's give jobs to people that are on disability and unemployment Rather than having companies
export customer service jobs abroad that disabled people actually want and can do
We should firmly encourage companies to keep those jobs here in America and export them to foreign lands
Let's be selective on what products we have FREE trade with rather than just blind, wide
sweeping free trade across the board Let's put a Federal Interest Rate limit on
Credit Cards forcing credit card companies to reduce maximum interest rate charges from
80% to 15% Let's limit excessive late charges and overdraft
charges to help struggling American families
We have the brightest, most brilliant people in the world
Let's start building American industry again Let's Create wealth
Let's think before we legislate Let's unite as a people and work together
and make thinking changes, precise changes, traditional changes
,,,, Let's make thinking changes that build up,
supports, and empowers the One,,, United States of AMerica
