"The rich folks, the plantation massahs want the rest of us dead. (With the exception of a few mendicants to serve them.)"

You really don't have a clue do you? Rich folks, nice catch phrase, but it doesn't quite make any sense the "rich folks" as you call them have as much as the rest of us to lose, by virtue of investing in businesses opening plants and making jobs if your savior actually impliments what he wants in his socialist dream.

Our enemy is apathy, allowing our ruling class in Washington to change what is America, unabated and unchallenged.

I agree. Apathy has a lot to do with it. A lot of people are working harder than ever and don’t have time to care until it hits them in the wallet. Also, a lot of people perceive their votes don’t matter when activist judges can just sweep away voter preferences and discover new rights.

Stupidity is a big part of it too. A lot of otherwise smart Amercians are just plain stupid about a lot of things & very shortsighted as well. These people may be good at their jobs, but they can’t balance their budgets or understand why what feels good today might end up destroying us tomorrow. As we see on Wall Street, even “the Smartest Guys in the Room” turn out to be idiots who are not in touch with reality. I see this every day—people making short term decisions to make themselves look good (and get that next promotion), but will be disasterous longterm. Lastly, Americans used to make decisions based (in part) on what was good for the country. Those days are dead and gone.
