Unfortunately, unless we are able to turn them out via the ballot box, I think it will take more. If there is a reduction in tax receipts, they will pass a capital assets tax. If that isn't enough, they will start nationalizing businesses and the Fed will continue to just create more money. November is the last chance to pull back from the brink. Fascistic governments and other forms of totalitarianism ultimately consume their host country and end violently. Sometimes, it takes a very long time - like Cuba which still limps along.
True. They would. And when they start forcing people to work at the point of a gun don’t you think the collapse will already have happened and the only way out will be to move away from Altruism towards Individualism. America was founded on Individualism but it did not practice it fully and consistently. Slavery is probably the best example. Had we as a society moved more and more towards practicing Individualism where would we be today? It was after slavery was abolished that America saw the greatest expansion but in the latter part of the 19th century there was a movement towards Altruism and “progressivism” and we are seeing the result today.
