I can pinpoint the day of our fall: it is when the income tax amendment was passed. From that day forward the government had the authority to take 100% of the goods. There was no limit placed on it. It's been a long bumpy ride ride on the way to 100% but unless it is limited someday by a counter amendment ( like perhaps a balanced budget amendment) this country too will come to an end.
I disagree, it has been incremental. We have lower taxation of income today than at anytime since 1942, with the exception of 1986-93.
Your point is well taken
Another was the Great Depression and the New Deal. But we were still strong until about 1965.
But what is really destroying American isnt economic leftism, but cultural leftism. The USA today is more economically right wing than it has been since before WW2.
In Canada they are today the furthest to the right on economic issues they have ever been in their history. But on cultural issues they are Marxists who hate themselves and all of western civ.
What is destroying is cultural relativism, destruction of the family, normailzation of perversion, illegal immigration. none of which were supported by the old left pre-1965
It is not the Old Left that is a threat to Amerca, they really dont exist anymore. It is the New Left who are cultural Marxists
