I think we might have finally reached that tipping point I've been so worried about. . .
You forgot to include the financially aware. People today are financially ignorant. Why do people think socialism will work since it has failed everywhere it has been tried? Probably because democracies fail once everybody realizes they can suck from the great teat of Government. Of couse, then...it's all over. "Those who can produce" quit producing because there is no incentive to do so. "Those who take according to need" find their needs getting larger.

Folks, that's why our founding fathers set up a "representative republic"... we are NOT a democracy, no matter how much the mainstream media and your High School teacher tried to tell you we are.

Ahhh..never mind. What's happening now makes me glad to be an old fart, with 20 years left at best. The way the USA is sliding down the steep slope into socialism makes me hope I won't live long enough to see it topple...
