Nice read, guys! Thanks for these thought provoking posts. We need to keep sharing this stuff.
These posts show the preview of what will ultimately be the result in those areas of the USA where class warfare (the elite left against the middle class) is allowed to flourish.
The progressives take steps to bankrupt the economy because they know that the resulting fear and guilt will put them in power to force their view of a unified government control... meanwhile, enriching themselves and their commercial stooges. Then, they use the labor unions and radical organizations to control the schools and universities, indoctrinate the young, bring the media and what's left of the financial system under government control. The government becomes the dominant employer, continues to stir up class warfare and continues to drain the treasury to keep the fear level of economic hardship/survival high so that their bold steps to rush through their agenda will be allowed. As Rahm Emmanuel said..."never let a good crisis go to waste", as exemplified by this administration spending more money in 8 months than the entire expenditure of the US government in history. They were allowed to do it due to fear of financial meltdown, enabling the administration to GUARANTEE financial meltdown for their own benefit. Those who are aware of the recent history of Argentina, Venezuela, Russia and Zimbabwe understand what is happening in California.
Those states who already have a state income tax, who tax food items, who have bankrupted their state to benefit welfare issues like California and Arizona are the first to fall... because, when the revenue dries up, there are no additional sources of funds. States such as Texas and Florida have these additional forms of revenue to tap if needed. One may wonder if the states that have their economies under control may decide if they want to continue to share their wealth with Washington, DC or not.
El Chavez and the Ks have this routine down pat, and look at the US slide towards government control with big grins of satisfaction. What they are overlooking is the power of online journalists to bring illegal government activity to the attention of our strong criminal justice/judicial systems... something that AR and VZ haven't had in so long that they are no longer aware of the existance of such a system.
We still lock up politicians currently in power, while VZ and AR await the next bunch of crooks to be in power before bringing politicians to justice.
Ron Paul's flat tax looks like a good idea to consider, but, I don't see any national-level support.
Keep up the good work, guys. -CapnRick
