Either way, I do doubt such things are going to just happen “one fine day”. It will be more like boiling a frog. And as long as people are unwilling to face their slow and steady reality they will continue to vote for more entitlements like health care and continue to burden those who are best able to pay for those entitlements with foolishness like carbon credits and carbon caps.
My tagline says it all. At some point, it will fail. It is not a sustainable system. Unless a vast majority of the people are willing to be slaves, which I doubt. I have to have more faith in humanity, or what is the point?
