In America machines, computers, robots, and foreign born bio-robots now do most of the work and create most of the wealth. This is even more so for country conservatives than city slicker socialists. We don’t really pay most of the taxes anymore, the machines do. Maybe fiscal conservatism is declining in importance.
Its an interesting notion. Following that logic, we are in a brave new world where a citizen's only role is to consume. The owners of those machines (and especially the finance behind them) are extremely wealthy, which means power. It also means that besides a few skilled laborers, most normal people are useless ( thus are paid accordingly) and have little power. The role of government and politics would then be simply redistributing that wealth. Not a positive trend for the USA.
