I read articles like this and my instinct is to fight back...but against what? The socialist minded democrat party is hopeless and have the media promoting their idiotic plans. We have a public education system that now has us 4th from the bottom worldwide for math skills. We have a generation of XBox live behind us and the "worst" generation in front of us. This "worst" generation will utterly sink us and not care one iota. After all, didn't they pay into the "system" their $30,000 through payroll taxes to get $100,000's of health care? I try to resist being hopelessness, but then articles like these appear or the facts enter and I'm back to hopelessness.

I'm currently reading a book titled "The Forsaken" about people who immigrated from the US to the USSR in the 30's. Some just looking for a job and some, attracted to the idea of the "socialist utopia". Tens of thousands died chasing the facade of socialism. Looks like we're gonna repeat that here in the US as the federal government continues to grow and grow and grow and dictate more and more of what we can and cannot to. Try to open a business, you'll see what I mean.

Here's hoping for the best!

I agree with your comments about what I call “the statist generation”. They will sink us, and believe that they are simply getting their due.

There will come a time (not so far away) when, despite our best hopes and intentions, it will be necessary to put our family flags above the country’s flag. I believe that currency controls are not far off.

"..my instinct is to fight back...but against what?"

Keep looking. You will find the answer...eventually.

(Hint:) try to keep an open mind, and search under every rock.
