All decisions are political now. When I buy a car, it will not be GM or Chrysler, because that would be a political statement in favor of Obama’s fascism, which I find repulsive. When I accept a check, it is not drawn on B of A, Citi, or any other bank that accepted TARP/Bailout funds, because that would again be a political statement that I am unwilling to make. I’m taking a lot more time off these past two years, because I would rather spend the time with my family or fishing than earning money that mostly goes to a wasteful and destructive government. All politics are national, and all decisions are now political.
After ObamaCare it's politics are national and personal now for many.
It’s been this way since 1865. Made worse by FDR. States are a powerless joke, sadly.
