Margaret Thatcher once pointed out. "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

I wonder what these losers will do when that actually happens.

"I wonder what these losers will do when that actually happens."

I've often thought the same thing. Surely this welfare socialist system will collapse under it's own weight, I thought. But no ... not many give a damn. In fact about half the voters seems to wish to pay more taxes.

Now the more conservative Republicans are exactly like the Democrats were in the '60's, and the Rhino's are like Lieberman / Gore of 2000.

Will we wind up like Germany in the thirties, taking our daily pay home in a wheel barrow? Time will tell.

That's an inaccurate read. About half the voters want the guy 1 income bracket up from them to pay more taxes...

"That's an inaccurate read. About half the voters want the guy 1 income bracket up from them to pay more taxes..."

Now hold on there a minute. If that is true, and I nod in agreement with what you are saying, then we are far worse off than I suspected. Add the "Greatest Generation" and all other retirees that want more, more and a little bit more.

Now we have the reason we are seeing this slide to the left by both parties. The parmount reasoning for the politician is ...Will this get me re-elected.

The majority in Congress could give a rat's butt about America becoming more socialist. Oh, should an entire city get wiped out in one blow they would demand our military stop it, but the slow eroding of these United States, drip by bloody drip, does not phase them in the least.
