At that point... The only people who will be voting for him will be rich white business owners most likely of european orgins. In other words, people like... People like you Minte.

I agree with you on a lot of points here, but the reason it doesn't get done is because the moment you make a statement like "Let's stop all foreign aid" suddenly pissed off the entire Jewish population plus pissed off every government in the world.

This is why shit doesn't get done.
