Aint gonna happen. Sorry ol’ boy. You just watched america receive a mortal blow. She ain’t dead yet, but there’s no recovery. It’s only a matter of time now...probably 40-60 years in my estimation.
I agree. This nation is now in decline, officially. We’ll have to begin defunding our military to pay for healthcare. We’ll lose even more of our birthrate numbers to abortion. You can also count on losing cheap access to oil, food, and just about any other thing one considers “important” to their life as COngress forces through Cap & Trade, Amnesty, and any other pet project they want to ram through before they lose the COngress in November. And don’t bet on Congress in November, in *either* house. Amnesty is next, and it *WILL* pass, and at least where I live, I can bet you that there isn’t enough peeved conservatives to turn the tide against the immigrants who will be new voters.
And to those who are so cheery and say “it’s just beginning”. B.S. No one I know who has kids or dependents would ever forgo paying their taxes and risk jail time, etc. It just doesn’t happen. Dream on, play at organizing. The News Oulets will make you look like serious criminals for any kind of civil disobedience. It’s like Ayn Rand said: the purposeful and efficient will try to carry whatever load is necessary to achieve success. Her book was a *fantasy* where the successful finally stood down. Even she knew it was a fantasy, it’s time you realize it. You see, in the American revolution, for the most part, the enemy had to cross a ocean and meet us on our turf. Now, the “enemy” is your lazy neighbor who thinks you should give him a little money every now and then, when he is sick and on the out and out.
And America as a world-leader in technology, etc., is what will end. America the land of socialistic leaches and thieves will persist for as long as they have creators to leach from.
Dream on. Game over and done, we are beaten, and I am tired of being positive and upbeat about it. I have been told to be positive and upbeat and that the bill would die for 1 year and 2 months. What do we have tonight? A bill.
When will the world see real freedom again? When finally all the lazy people see the error of their ways and decide to come back to true liberty. And that my friends, will be a long long time.
Me, I’ll just minimize my tax footprint as best as possible: but I won’t quit my job in a innovate industry. I’ll keep my head down and pray that by some miracle, people will wise up to their ways, but I won’t ever get my hopes up about it again.
Social Security started cashing in it's stack of T-Bills last month. Every month they will tell the Government to pay even more out. They do not have it. Unemployed People DO NOT PAY TAXES, they eat them. Obama has effectively unemployed 15% of the American workforce indefinitely. They are already talking about 9-10% reported unemployment for years to come. Real U-6 Unemployment is over 17% and climbing.
Who would be stupid enough to open a business in a country with high taxes, intrusive labor and environmental regulations, and NO RULE OF LAW. We are official a Banana Republic. Everything is free, you just can't get it anywhere.
Next Super Power, This one is toast.
More than likely a quick fall of the West followed by decades if not centuries of brutal tyranny, It is 44 BC all over again. The free rule of free men has been dealt a massive blow.
So can we start planning a new nation? At least create a body of knowledge so our descendants know what went wrong, what to prevent, etc. That way when a new Jefferson or Washington or Franklin emerge in 100-200 years, they have some idea of what went wrong.
