A local hallmark store is going out of business. The owner told me that over the last three years her regular customers and people who live in the affluent areas have significantly cut back. She said, however, that the EBT types are buying as if they have no financial worries. That’s because they don’t....for now.
The ranks of EBT people are growing, not decreasing. That is the crux of Obama’s agenda. More dependents = more democrat votes. Why do you think he wants amnesty for illegals? So they can become legal voters instead of having to cast illegal votes.
Just read my tag line and you will understand where the country is headed. We are not unique. Communist/socialist takeovers did not happen in a vacuum. In theory they sound great to the masses. “The rich will pay their fair share and you will share in that loot” sounds wonderful.
In the long run that system fails every time it has been tried. Then a turnaround begins towards capitalism. China now has 150 Billionairs and one MILLION millionaires while during Mao’s regime they had may be a dozen millionaires.
So just prepare yourself for the gradully increasing socialism here. It is like boiling the frog slowly. The masses will not wake up until things get real nasty.
