One of the problems with democracy is that the majority of people will vote for whoever promises them the most.
Most people are not educated enough in economics to realize that what they are being promised is not affordable.
It all boils down to education, imo.
I completely agree.
Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

We has a human race do not strive to better our community and our fellow man first. Capitalism is designed to force humans to better themselves through promises of controlling more of your own life through money. Socialism fails because people need motivation to help others and help themselves as a whole. Until humans can rally around a common culture and set of values nothing will change.
The melting pot is dead. Everything is a salad and a society cannot survive without common purpose and culture for all its people. That doesn't mean everyone has to give up their own people's culture but it does require all people to recognize one culture that we all believe in first.
My business is IT. We have been exploited by big business for over a decade forever trying to find cheaper ways to operate. Over the last 10 years companies did their best to offshore as much as possible. A small backlash occurred with common people not liking the non english speaking tech support and some customers began demanding onshore based support ie in the lower 48. So companies began to exploit the H1B visa program bringing over foreigners with very little education and english speaking ability and forcing Americans to train them to do their jobs then firing the Americans. These people stay here for 3 years making a 1/3 of what Americans were making and then after that 3 years they return home and a new batch comes in. It devastates the American worker because we cannot compete with people who are only here on a temp basis then return home so they can live off far less sleeping 3-4 in an apartment knowing full well they will leave in a few years. In north Texas alone we have 30,000 H1B visa employees. I've been involved with offshoring for over 10 years and I can tell you the education level of these college kids is nowhere near the Americans so it infuriates me when someone like Marco Rubio said the reason the jobs are being taken by foreigners is because the Americans aren't educated enough. That is a bald faced lie. When you replace a worker who has 15 years of experience with a foreign college kid its laughable to pretend that the education and experience is higher for the kid than the seasoned veteran.
This is about money pure and simple. And neither party is innocent. Both get paid back by companies like Infosys and HCL for allowing the H1B program to be exploited when it was designed only to bring in workers for jobs that they could not find Americans to do and since Americans are being forced to train these people for their own jobs the reverse is true.
Here is a great story about the exploitation by big business.

So for me I looked for a candidate that actually talked about cutting back the exploitation of the American worker and the only person who has really talked about it is Trump. He is also hated by the establishment on both sides which only endears him to me.
Do I agree with him on everything? Absolutely not. But I agree with enough to vote for him.
