We might have been able to survive as a republic for another 100 years if we hadn’t turned the reigns of our government over to the public employee unions. But alas it seems the end is near. There is no end to their appetite for revenue (i.e., other peoples’ money).

Thanks, Rob. Keep beating that drum. They know the poor have little political clout or representation. The question is whether the remaining middle class is large enough to wake up and help turn the ship around. Once they inevitably notice how out of touch their local legislators are by their persistent tone deafness, one would think it ought to wake up a bunch more people to their conflicts of interest and corruption. I wonder if there will be enough producers left in the state by then, or do the administrative state and welfare classes already outnumber us?
