Yes, the tipping point has been crossed. The Takers beat the Makers.
And the Takers numbers will increase in the next four years. The truth
is we have become a taker society. It will only get worse.
Not only that but there are a bunch of Makers out there who decided that the Takers deserve more. I'm still amazed at the number of my acquaintances with good jobs (some have six-figure incomes), college degrees, good work ethic, etc., who think Obamacare is a great idea ("You never know when you'll get cancer and lack the money to pay for treatment!") and the rich just need to be taxed more. It's like we live on skew planes.
Last night verified what I've suspected for awhile: The country has indeed lurched left, '08 wasn't a fluke, and we're in for European socialism, if not worse.
