With the government putting its fingers into everything, I am reminded of something I read once, about the Fall of the Roman Empire.
The fall of the Roman Empire was not a disaster for EVERYONE. Perhaps for urban dwelling ne’er-do-wells dependent on “bread and circuses” but a lot of more rural people who produced food and were heavily taxed did better when the boot was removed from their neck.
Perhaps we shouldn’t fear implosion...
Except there are other empires all too willing to swoop in.
Anarchist-Socialists WANT the American system of government to collapse.
The rural people were protected by the legions. Sure their tax burden was removed by the fall of the empire (which, all told, was a lesser burden than it is today) but they then had to face rapacious barbarians who took everything they owned and in many cases their lives as well.
In fact, most of us are eager to bring the implosion on hard and quick so that we may get to the business of re-building. How ironic is that. We have given up trying to turn around the ship and believe it easier to sink this ship and build a new one. The reason for this is the humans that represent the American interests that have been elected..... You get the point.
