“You can't legislate morality. Doesn't work.”
“Somebody made $180,000 a year and after 10 years they were worth $100 million dollars. Anybody want to ask questions why, when they don't own any companies, they don't run any businesses? You should. By the way, that's a lot of our politicians. Oh yeah, investments.
So much so, some smart kid created an algorithm and then turned it into an ETF that you can just go invest along — Oh, you beat the S& P by 20% this year. No f*cking surprise.
Yet we have a generation of people that think the answer is voting those f*cking people into office or keeping them there. Government's our answer. No, it's never going to be the answer.
Our forefathers knew that, we tried to create a society that didn't need government. Government is best when it's not noticed. You can't legislate morality. Doesn't work. The laws of the land should be a reflection of the morals of the land.”
US Congress is our problem. You can’t fix a country with immoral legislators.

Imagine how the lying media would be all over it if President Trump or his family made money while he was in office.
Maybe there is a way for President Trump to eliminate congress completely. Who needs these corrupt people in office anyway? What are they doing?
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people,” and George Washington reflected a similar sentiment when he said, in his Farewell Address, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. . . And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.” John Adams
Citizens who were disarmed would be unable to retain their liberty should authoritarian politicians attempt to seize power in the federal government. All of them.
"Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue? "
George Washington
"[T]here is no truth more thoroughly established, than that there exists . . . an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness."
George Washington
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim tribute to patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness -- these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. . . . reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles."
George Washington
"The aggregate happiness of the society, which is best promoted by the practice of a virtuous policy, is, or ought to be, the end of all government . . . ."
George Washington
"Human rights can only be assured among a virtuous people. The general government . . . can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any despotic or oppresive form so long as there is any virtue in the body of the people."
George Washington
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
Benjamin Franklin
Can we return to what worked?
