For the first in American history the users and takers outnumber the producers and makers.

Make no mistake about this: Governments NEVER shrink. They NEVER say we need less intrusion into the lives of the people who pay for their existence. And they NEVER really roll back their programs.

It follows immediately from this observation and the fact that is is always easier to destroy something than to create it, that government is itself a form of destruction. From which also follows Jefferson's dictum: He governs best who governs least.

as we stand in the bread lines, Dear Leader announces a cut of 2 slices from every basket because of shortages. Then he announces a slice will be added. the sheeple will cheer and sing his praises.

I offer this section of the Declaration of Independence, which is pertinent to governmental abuse of power:

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

It will not be a mass conversion that brings things back to sanity, but mass destruction. :(
