Dear President Donald Trump
My wife Val and I visited Stratford-upon-Avon in England, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, to see his house. In the Town there were Actors dressed in period costumers presenting parts of Shakespeare’s plays and the brilliance of his writing and vocabulary. We also visited places in London and Scotland that inspired his plays. For me one of the most telling Shakespeare quotes is “Truth will out” which has particular relevance today.
This also brings to mind Abraham Lincoln’s most famous statement “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
Other quotes of relevance today
1. by H.L. Mencken “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”
2. by John Locke “Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.” and “To love truth for truth’s sake is the principal part of human perfection in this world, and the seed-plot of all other virtues.”
In the lead-up to the 2024 Presidential Election first and foremost in the News and most likely in the People’s minds was the War Crimes and killing taking place in Ukraine and the Genocide, War Crimes and killing taking place in Gaza and the West Bank. Both being funded and supplied with munitions by America. In this context, pre-election promises of ending these killings and committing to PEACE could reasonably be expected to influence the outcome of the 2024 election.
According to Open Secrets, $US5.5 Billion was spent on the 2024 Presidential Election and when the Congressional campaign is factored in, the 2024 election cost jumps to $US15.9 Billion.
It seems to me that the People of America and the World expect Accountability, Transparency and Truth from your Presidency. The single most critical impediment to you achieving this is EXISTING TAXES which have funded over the past 55 years the development and expansion of Communist China to Super Power Status. Until you understand and accept this, the USA will be dependent upon imports from China and the BRICS Nations with escalating DEBT.
You also need to have first and foremost in mind that your American workforce of 168 million reasonably expect you to END TAX SLAVERY and to create an Economy and Financial position which will allow
them to create Personal and National Wealth and be DEBT FREE to secure their Freedom. This is only possible with 2% LIBERTY TAX.
