People confuse capitalism with corruption. Capitalism is your freedom to choose. Corruption is when republics are available for sale to the highest bidder.
Unfortunately, the founding fathers believed the propaganda of Cicero who painted Julius Caesar as a dictator when he was a populares. The people supported Caesar against the corrupt senate of Rome which sold itself to the highest bidder.
I believe the ONLY way to correct our political crisis is to impose TERM LIMITS in Congress — one term and you are out. Just look at the Democrats. All they are doing is trying to undermine Trump. This is what career politicians do. They are not fighting for the people. They are only trying to undermine the opposition for more power.
Congress spends 70% of its time selling favors and trying to raise money for the next election. Term limits will end that. It will end the lobbying motto: “Do as I ask and I will fund your next election.”
Our judicial system is collapsing entirely. Nobody can prevail against the bankers in New York City. The courts will bend the law and ignore the Supreme Court entirely to protect the bankers who are the leaders of corruption and the harbingers of our doom.
China is a hybrid. The positive side of China is that the unelected leadership need not promise stupid things to maintain power. They can focus on the long-term plan for China. We do not need to adopt that hybrid, but we can achieve what was originally intended with term limits. End the corruption and we will at least have a real, free climate of capitalism.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Hyper-finance Capitalism is a major vector of disease known as The Malignancy that has come to metastasize throughout the West and will be its eventual doom.
Two term limit – One in office, the other in jail.
I use to believe that we needed mandated term limits. Then I realized we have term limits. It is called elections. If the American people are so blind as to continue to elect these fools the we get the politicians we deserve. Fools led by fools; recipe for disaster.
Men were not meant to be trusted for life. That goes for justices as well — perhaps most importantly. Men are also risk averse herd animals, so they don’t rock the boat for fear of fomenting crisis. Ironically, it is this such behavior that foments the crisis.
If we are to have a republic, terms limits are one of the mandatory fixes we need. There are many others.
Marty is also dead-on regarding Cicero v. Caesar. We are well past the point where we need a Caesar to clean this shit up.
Lugona, Youre a fucking idiot. China is not the envy because they are non-elected totalitarians or “congress'” is “stupid”.
QUINN: Is this all you got to post? It’s trash, misleading and we hear enough bullshit all over media, do we really need more here????
Capitalism is not free choice, moron, it is free markets, NONE or limited government intervention. Our leaders, Presidents, Congress and courts have ALL BEEN ERODING / DISTORTING FREE MARKETS FOR 100 YEARS NOW. $100s of billions in the regulatory apparatus, a serveilance state – we are China.
Add Fed reserve, world-wide central banks and globalism and the sheeple in this country that vote in these assholes – you get totalitarianism. JUST LIKE CHINA.
We are there.
