RE: My Campaign Platform
Hey Ben, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it really did not answer my question though. What I am trying to figure out is how do we begin to win over those who are on the government tit and are going to be very reluctant to let go.
I am aware of the numbers on the jobs, but you nor I are naive, the 3 million jobs do not mean only 3 million people will be affected. So this demographic we are talking about is really big. When you include retirees and contractors in the numbers I would think a minimum of 10 million, and of course their families.
So again, I am all in, but I have no information to use as a starting point to get these people to give up the tit. If I have missed an article that lays out how retirees will be affected, or how this demographic will be handled please point me in its direction. If not shouldn't we be brain storming on how best to handle this?
Anyway, again, Thanks for your hard work and I look forward to your reply.
Maybe by stating that they wouldn't have to pay federal taxes anymore and that they could use a free market money that won't lose its value due to inflation. Or that they could find more fulfilling work in the free market with the same skills they used in the government.
When we liquidate the assets of the federal government there will be trillions of dollars that we can put into the existing social safety net. But when the money runs out, that's it. During the 30-40 years that will take, we will have to come up with alternative systems of social safety net.
