Just Another Day in the USA.....

The Sheep Still Sleep, Trust & Obey

Today was like every other day in the United States during the last few decades. Washington taxed more private wealth to generate government revenue. Congress added more national debt to future generations so they could pay benefits and buy votes today. The Federal Reserve created more fiat paper money out of nothing to cover the difference between government revenue and expenses.

The Mob Still Votes

"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Recently we took our 14-year-old daughter and a friend to the Coastal Georgia Fair in Savannah. It was a small fair with the usual tasty but deadly food and all the rides you wanted for a set price. The girls had fun and I had plenty of time to stand around and watch the crowd to protect my girls from all the thugs and hoodlums in the crowd.

I hate generalizations but it was apparent that most of the attendees lived off the government either in terms of outright support or make-work jobs but for once I was glad there were a lot of law enforcement officials around. Second, except for the police presence there paid by tax dollars I doubt few of the people made enough to ever pay federal income tax and most with children probably received the annual income tax credit.

Then it dawned on me that "everyone there had the right to vote for more benefits and tax receipts from the government". Therefore it is wishful thinking to believe a mob democracy such as ours can ever restore the once great American republic of our founding fathers because a majority of parasites benefit from the productive work of a minority of Americans.
