    Let’s say you and your family live way out in the wilderness in a cottage. You raise food in a garden to survive the winter without it you would perish you have a neighbor he helps you with the work and together you share then all the sudden a band of 500 people show up you leave your garden unsecure and all the food is eaten. You leave your house secure, and your wife and kids are taken away. Without protections and safeguards you would have nothing in life from people that are not like your neighbor.

    You and I have been going back-and-forth a little and I just wanna make clear. My beef is with Foreign companies setting up Shop here and exploiting the market, putting out US companies. The drivers don’t even live in the US. They’re not gonna defend this country if it gets attacked. They could care less if someone gets hurt or run over they make their money and go back an American company cannot compete when a company pays a driver a fraction of what a US driver is being paid, the market collapses. As an American company, I have to abide by the rules with the FNCSA and all the audits. One of the foreign companies get audited they just close shop and restart aAs an American company, I have to abide by the rules with the FNCSA and all the audits. When one of the foreign companies get audited, they just close shop and restart a new company next month. Different identity while I am still stuck with my name and Social Security number. I’m sure you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve heard how the trucking market is broken and how there is a huge over capacity. Foreign companies setting up shop are the over capacity.

    If you wanna share the wealth. You can send everyone your paycheck. We can give you an address and you can just send us some money every couple weeks. You can also stop locking your home, or leave the keys in your semi, and just give everything you have to everyone around you. It sounds very noble, but it’s the breakdown of society. People will take everything and your family, and enslave them without any safeguards, borders, or cares. If you don’t safeguard things, you can’t take care of yourself, your family, or other people. Resources are not infinite. If you are on a ship that sinks and you are fortunate being on a lifeboat and have some provisions and another party has a raft with provisions you can band together. Later, all of a sudden 200 swimmers are coming to your raft. They’re gonna throw you overboard and take everything you have and in the end everyone is going to drowned. What do you do? You row away from the swimmers.
    Men are supposed to be leaders. And leaders make tough hard decisions that can be brutal to protect. If they don’t, it all falls apart, and there’s nothing left.

    Being so open and liberal is an elitist mentality. Let Me try to explain. If you are weak and are a sheep, the wolves will eat you. End of story.
    The only reason, folks can be so open and liberal is because others are making the sacrifices to protect those folks from the wolves. It is the elitist that can be a liberal. All others must suffer the burdens of protecting that one elitist from the wolves.

    Practice what you preach. Open you're home up. Let a family move in. Supply them with everything they need. Get the “man” a driving job teaming with you. Learn their language because they won’t learn yours. See how long you can stand it before they take all your stuff and leave you on the streets.
