I too fear that the ruling class (meaning government employees) is going to cast people who still want to live their individual lives as enemies.

Stop it. The ruling class may be those at the top of the government employee heap, but it is unfair of you to castigate all of them that way.

Utter BullC*ap. There are likely millions of sadistic Federal parasites who daily get joy out of making the lives of normal Americans miserable.

The Federal parasite class, down to the lowest worker is knowingly and quite away of the misery they are causing.

The Federal parasite class is quite aware that they make 2X what the private sector makes and are now quite happy to view us as the enemy.

I have no doubt the Federal bureaucrat class will become much, much more sadistic towards regular Americans. All one has to do is read history to see the coming reality we will face.

Ah, yes, the “good Germans” theory. Sorry, that doesnt work. Individually, they may be fine people, but as participants in the government’s program, they are also culpable.

The Soviet Union was also founded on a few top government officials living high in the hog....while government employees under them enforced the will of the state and in exchange at least got a living ration. People will settle for very little to consider themselves wealthy and privileged in a dictatorship, and they will gladly turn in or destroy anyone who threatens that tiny privilege.

Yes, indeed, the “good German” argument can be found throughout our own nation. I can think of three:

1) The day after Elian Gonzolas was kidnapped, the INS workers who did the dirty work threw a picnic to celebrate. What did we hear from the “good” INS workers? Nothing.

2) TSA workers who willingly seek work feeling the “junk” of 3 year old preschoolers. What do we hear from the “good” TSA workers? Silence.

3) We see this reasoning all the time on the threads about government schooling.

School Variation:

Not **all** of our godless, socialist-funded, single-payer, and compulsory government K-12 schools are bad. My child's school is different.

Not **all** of the teachers in our godless, socialist-funded, single-payer, and compulsory schools are bad. Hey! My child's Sunday School teacher teaches in the (godless) “public” schools.
