The threat of nontaxpayers dictating to the taxpayers is an irreversible power shift we can not allow.

I feel it has already happened.

Sometimes, good medicine tastes really bad. If I keep feeding a dog that bites me, he will continue to bite.

Sometimes, tearing down a rotten building to a good foundation is the only option. I will be cold and wet for awhile, but I can rebuild better than before. I believe that when Social Security/Medicare goes broke, maybe people will wake up.

I know I'll get slammed for this, but pain is a good motivator.

Or turn to more Socialism to 'cure' it. -Look at what just happened in France.

I shudder to think of us becoming like them.

Tough love is OK. Anarchy is a step in the progression to chaos. We can't allow this shining house on the hill we call American to collapse. Once it is gone, we will be as lost as the Knights of Arthur's round table in the dark ages and clouds of oblivion.
