We need to have capitalism. We need to have economic freedom.

Freedom to do what, Nikki?

freedom to do or be anything they want to be without government getting in the way.”

Freedom to exploit anything for profit, got it.

So if it’s not illegal, it’s fair game. And guess what wasn’t illegal until the Thirteenth Amendment? And guess what we had to do in order to pass that amendment?

Fight a civil war, right.

We need the freedom to take away all the freedom that you have that we don't like!

Guess what’s still legal as long as you got convicted of a crime and get a prison sentence?

Free to be anything unless that means LGBT or black or not Christian

We need to have capitalism.

This need to have capitalism by both of our ruling parties is why the American Dream no longer exists.

Guess what is not illegal even with the 13th Amendment? Slavery is a legal form of punishments.
