We don't have to re-invent the wheel--we already have a blueprint for the future via Europe. The Green Party in Germany supported mass immigration in order to garner votes, sort of like our undocumented Democrats...The Green Party later said "they didn't care" about the consequences (so long as they presumably had the votes) Wouldn't it be ironic, if in a divided country, the alien vote became the swing vote in elections!
I say, "Hillary for Prison 2016"

Jagermeister has spent much of his time here in total support of the type of politics that led to the situation he warns of in his link. He told us he proudly voted for the extreme anti-gunner Obama twice. I saw a tee shirt at a gun show yesterday that was directed toward guys like Jagermeister and our other anti-gun trolls who support and defend anti-gun politicians. It referred to them as Second Amendment Traitors.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Sheep go meekly to slaughter, pigs go squealing. Where does that leave us, the minority? In trouble. When the "majority" get to vote themselves endless amounts of your income, savings and wealth there is no reason to keep working harder to make them fatter.
And all the baby boomers are all going to retire in the next ten to fifteen years. Why does that matter you wonder? The baby boomers are the highest paid workers, small business owners and savers of money in this country. When they retire their tax revenue will be hard pressed to be replaced and they will go from payers into the system to takers out of the system, big time.
If not for two kids still finishing their educations I could retire today. Could do it anyways if I was willing to dip into savings to pay for their medical schools. Point is that my tax contributions will go from well over a hundred grand a year down to less than twenty. In fact my SS benefit should be much more than the taxes I pay into the system. And I am just one of a couple million, tens of millions of soon to retire baby boomers.
The cash flow problem headed for the US Government is a major concern. We have used T-Bills to keep the money flowing but that can't go on for ever. The traditional investors of T-Bill will be running out of money to invest as the oil dries up in the middle east, the baby boomers retire and Europe goes total Socialist.
How is the Democratic party going to keep spending other peoples money when we stop making it for them to spend? This run away train is about to run off the tracks and I for one do not look forward to the crash that must be coming. You can not spend five to ten percent more money every year than you take in for decades and not have a day of reckoning which is coming near.

Much more real than 1984 ever was. And it should be required reading instead of most of the Karl Marx type books that seem so much in the norm today. My favorite is "It Takes a Village Idiot To Raise a Child", by Hillary. I know that it is not going to be the end of the world but there will be real problems ahead. If you raise taxes back to 90% levels, like they were before, you know that money will go off shore, on paper, where you can not tax it at all. Money is just 1's and 0's in a digital world while people (governments) are still thinking of paper money and real estate, real property, real tangible assets which can be seized and confiscated by the government. 90% of the stock market or bank market could be moved off shore, by electronic trading, and then what would they do. Stocks are no longer paper certificates, real things you can hold and grab but numbers and numbers can be moved anywhere. You will see big companies shielding profits by sending them off shore or never bringing them into this country. This shell game will just get more complex as time goes by as it will become an industry in its' own right as companies figure out ways to save billions in taxes by just moving money, 1's and 0's, on computers, to places we can not see them or find them. So get out there and vote for your kids futures.

KY Jon: I was a finance major in college back when you actually had to study and do work to earn a college degree. The picture you paint IMO is accurate and it's just a matter of time before we run out of resources to shore up a bankrupt government and a majority population which apparently doesn't believe it's necessary to work and pay your own way. So far we have survived 8 years of this but we've paid a heavy cost with the doubling of our National debt and declines in many other areas. The 2016 elections will again IMO be the determinant factor in deciding our future. If the Socialists prevail you can count the remaining years the United States is actually the United States on your fingers and you won't need all of them. It's a disaster just waiting to happen! Jim
The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.

The US political system is having a nervous breakdown, not its people. They're revolting against gross inequality, not debt. Those who down-rate their own people do not remain long as citizens of a great nation.

Somewhat OT, but I just noticed that some Oreos are made in Canada. Called their 800-622-4726 number to let them know if they ship jobs out of the US, I'm never, ever buying oreos again. Feel free to call that 800#. Nabisco is now owned by Mondelez Global LC. I hope Trump is not the GOP winner-got no class at all, but I might just hold my nose and vote for him.

....Those who down-rate their own people do not remain long as citizens of a great nation. The second term doesn't end for a good few months. What do you know and aren't telling?
