"
Gee, he knows how to link to things I read years ago."
Those things in
comment #75 are evidence of the reason that both political parties are disrespected by most voters, and the reason for the fall of the middle class (halfway there already). Both parties are most influenced by dictatorial socialists--especially socialists and their most favored, government-supported wanna-be plutocrats in local levels of government--who are regulating against us and taking fees to violate our real property rights, our natural right to produce necessities and our natural right to have cohesive families.
Reprobate politicos will be left out in the cold after haircut time (collapse of bonds that cannot be repaid, layoffs, office closings, etc.). Those who are causing the problems in state and local governments will clean their own houses (radically cut spending, close useless regulatory offices) or face the consequence of poverty themselves. They're not "makers" or net taxpayers. They make nothing but trouble and more schemes for sucking pork.
And I won't support them by indulging in cults of personality and bandwagon approaches to elect effete candidates of their choice. Any good teacher, for example (speaking of local, government supported political influences), should have enough knowledge and skill to do produce something useful. Otherwise, she/he has no place in education or politics.
Whether or not one commenter understands what is written here is irrelevant. What matters is what most readers can learn and understand.
