"I don't like where this "master and servant" mentality is taking America."
Amen. These issues are economically, socially, culturally, and politically intertwined and potentially devastating in the long run.
I have spoken on many posts about how many of these policies adopted worldwide are leading to establishment of neo-feudal societies.
I define Neo-feudal society as one where capitalism and socialism merge into a third way economic system. It could also be considered a neo-caste system. The first country to achieve this system will be China IMHO, but thats a topic for another thread or two!
Very thought provoking post. Maybe even 3 threads worth! :-)
