The fact that these “consumers” get their income from the Government (via welfare payments) is of little concern to them.

Those are good points. I think the Brits understood the lie when rejecting their globalist invaders. The multinationals who infest London weren't able to convince them to be good little consumotrons in a dead end economy. A new iPhone and even bigger TV might have been an adequate lie, but the globalists also promised that everyone could vacation in Spain and otherwise be citizens of Europe (or the world).

But the majority, even many liberals, are patriotic and want to be productive, and not service or retail workers.. The are growing parasitic managerial and welfare classes but they lost the election here. The welfare class in particular is overrated and overestimated. Romney made a critical error with his 47% comment by including people who had worked hard or want to work hard but have no opportunities a service / retail economy.

Really? You must know different liberals from the ones I know. Typically they fall into the following categories:

1. Union members - Ironically these tend to be the most patriotic (some, not all), but also seem to slavishly believe anything the Union tells them.
2. Useful idiots - Many of these have been indoctrinated to be ashamed of America. Mainly students & others under 30. However, there are some very competent professional people who fall into this category (mainly lawyers).
3. Women - Too many women are knee-jerk liberals. Many are either blinded by their compassion or disdain for straight, white men.
4. Free Sh!t Army - These are not ideological, but will vote for whoever offers them the most free stuff. Can be of any race.
5. Immigrants - Not all by any means, but some groups harbor fantasies of taking over America. And those fantasies seem closer to reality with every passing year.
6. The Evil ones - These are the most dangerous as they know exactly what they are doing and have no illusions. They are the ones who imagine they will end up in charge if Western civilization is destroyed. Many are in Academia and have zero experience in the real world.
