You're right. Besides our country had fewer people in the 50's and it was a pleasant place to live... children playing all over the place. Liberal elites don't 'get' the people of the United States are MORE than just cheap labor to produce wealth for them...
It isn't just liberal elites that think that way. Many so called "Conservatives" think like that. Many of them post on Free Republic daily. I call them Free Traitors™.
For that reason I am no longer calling myself a Conservative. I am a Nationalist.
We need about 100 million less people. There are more than twice as many as there were when I was born. The govt wants more and more to keep all the ponzi schemes going.
