USA is the world's de
facto bank and policeman and its president and politics have
world-wide influence. USA citizens face a very difficult choice in
electing their politicians and their president who make and execute
laws that affect the entire world. Their choices in electing their
president are limited to the candidates of the left wing liberal
democratic party, the right wing conservative republican party, and
the alternative libertarian and green parties. Many vote for a
particular candidate with campaign promises that fit their hopes and
expectations. Only the candidates of the democrats and the
republicans have a chance of being elected. The candidates
representing these two main parties are greatly disliked, distrusted,
and feared even by supporters of the political par- ties they
represent. Many will vote for what they consider the “lesser of two
evils” to try to prevent the other from being elected.
Many regard Hillary
Clinton, who represents the democrats, as a typical politician who
cannot be trusted. She is largely blamed for the past and continuing
hawkish foreign and financial policies of the USA which is largely
the cause of the current sad state the world finds itself in. She is
a globalist with aims of controlling and regulating everything with
the bureaucracy of big government in the name of protecting the
people, but in effect is serving the interests of the corporate
elite. Many think that she is part of the problem while pretending to
be part of the solution.
Many regard Donald Trump,
who represents the republicans, as a typical business man with too
many self-serving interests to fight for the welfare of other people.
Many regard him as unqualified to be president of USA. His open
honesty is seen as provocative arrogance that many take as racist and
too nationalistic in this global multi-cultural world where political
correctness is seen to be a necessary protocol that must be followed.
Trump is openly a con
artist and he is proud of it. Hillary is just as good of a con artist
as Trump is, but she denies it. A con artist like Trump is like a
used car salesman who uses emotional arguments to con for short term
and small gains. He is crude and easy to spot. A con artist like
Hillary is like a banker who uses rational and logical arguments to
con for long term and large gains. She is sophisticated and is hard
to spot.
More and more Americans
are disillusioned by their dysfunctional government. They believe
that it does not really matter who wins and many will not vote.
Although there is no chance of alternate party candidates winning and
becoming president, voting for them is a voice of dissent and a call
for change to the platforms of the democrats and republicans parties.
It also encourages the growth of the alternative parties so that they
become viable in the future. The two candidates representing the
alternative parties are Gary Johnson, representing the libertarian
party, and Jill Stein, representing the green party. Three issues
greatly affect the entire world - the USA economy, the environment,
and global trade.
The world's reserve
currency is based on the USA dollar. The USA central bank is
unsustainable as it has a policy of continuously printing money and
raising the public debt without any limits. This only benefits the
short term goals of multi-national corporations at the expense of
long term benefits of common peoples, especially future generations.
Hillary Clinton supports and is supported by big businesses and her
social platform requires the debt based policies of the USA central
bank. Donald Trump, in the name of freedom, is reluctant to interfere
with USA central banking policies other than to advocate for its
audit which Jill Stein also supports. Gary Johnson is the only
candidate who is promoting to end the free hand that the USA
independent central bank enjoys.
The world's environment
is polluted and greatly strained by ever increasing consumerism. Too
many gadgets taking too much energy to make and run are being
consumed, especially in the USA. Multinational corporations that
serve USA consumers must sacrifice some of their profits and become
more environmentally friendly, before the environment becomes
unsustainable to support human life. Hillary Clinton and Jill Stein
are strong supporters of laws to protect the environment for our
children while Donald Trump and Gary Johnson are, in the name of
freedom for profits, strong opponents of such laws.
Increasing globalization
and the corresponding free trade agreements benefit multi-national
corporations at the expense of common people who would be better
served by fair trade agreements. Hillary Clinton and Gary Johnson
support free trade to give big businesses the freedom to grow bigger.
Donald Trump and Jill Stein oppose free trade be- cause it encourages
multi-national corporations to manufacture their products in foreign
countries with cheap labor and less stringent environmental
protection laws just to ship them back across the globe to the USA to
sell them at a higher profit.
In the end, regardless of
whoever becomes president, these three vital issues, finance,
environment and globalization, can be voted on by all the people
globally just by simply voting with their wallets.
THE END
