“...unless we begin restricting voting rights...”
It seems like that may be a way to go. I hate to say it, but there seem to be too many people whose only interest in the government is “how much will it give me”. That just won’t last over the long run.
Voting at age 18 is crazy. If you pay no income tax at all... you shouldn't be able to vote. If you own no real property (or at least be making payments on it) you should not be allowed to vote. If you can't read (we already provide free education)... you should not be able to vote. Voting age should be no younger than 30.
I agree... there is NO WAY substantive changes will be made. We have to understand what is coming, and be ready to be successful in the new environment. Understand the tax laws. Understand all of the financial opitions and make smart decisions.
Hunkering down in the bunker with stacks of amo ultimately just turns out bad. Smart people understand the environment, adapt, and overcome and are successful. That's where we need to be. Just my opinion.
