The people have spoken. They want Communism. Now we shall see if Communism can stand on its own without those willing to support it.

There are two classes that make it work: Producers and takers. If the Producers with no incentive suddenly join the ranks of the takers and demand the government take care of them, the system cannot hold up to the overload. Time and time again the Marxist model fails in history.

What if all the producers simply refused to produce anymore and demanded they take care of us? Push them and push the Marxist model to perform as promised, or fail hard. Soup and bread lines and the whole nine yards showing the joys of Socialism.

That’s the way Reagan did it. Bankrupted them. Marxism failed the test. We can accelerate the failure. Once those revenue streams dry up, they’ll have to keep dropping the tax brackets to “chase us” downwards until there is a general revolt by the electorate who suddenly realizes this ain’t gonna work.

Right now, we the producers are keeping them in their dream world and enabling them by going along with the present system and supporting the non-producers.

I'm going to be having a talk with MrsEx today about finding out what sort of public assistance we "working poor" are eligible for, that our conservatism has kept us from applying for. If people like us, previously to proud or legitimately (like us) able to get by without assistance, suddenly became "clients" of the State, how much sooner will the treasury be drained?

The only question is, how many of us in good conscience could, or in spite of conscience would, take taxpayer-funded bennies just because we can, specifically in order to cause the system to collapse sooner than it must?

We'll see.

A la Atlas Shrugged? Great concept.
