Outstanding essay. After a long road, we have arrived at serfdom.

Problem is, a lot of us don't want to be serfs.CW2 Ping

A union officer and a policeman. Just about the worst combo that can be.

"I think the U.S. taxpayer deserves to lose a trillion dollars over this thing for the way they have behaved."

Does anyone have any idea what was the behavior of the U.S. taxpayer that, in the mind of the unnamed self-appointed aristocrat, merited us losing a terabuck?

Also, what's a "Lubyanka Breakfast" in store for Matt Taibbi? Gruel and lead?

we are so screwed. our own gov’t and it's loyal legions of public employees and their unions have become engines of plunder. It will not stop until all that is left are the bones of the citizens. We are now outnumbered, over powered and defenseless. We debate amongst ourselves about legislation, rights, economics, etc. Meanwhile, during all the diversion, all the flanking maneuvers have been completed. Watch CA to see how it all unfolds.

A don’t like it but a majority does. As evidenced by the election of obama and comfirmed by the election of Democrats, the majority of those who vote prefer to depent on government beaurcrats for their very existence as opposed to being responsible for their own welfare. They believe that a policeman has to hold their hand each time they go to the toilet rather than working out their own problems. They have including “bullying” to include giving dirty looks.

When I was younger, we may have had a few that enjoyed picking on those smaller than themselves. That problem was usually solved with a two by four or a one way lug wrench, and forgotten.

I will close by saying that as long as there are people who are willing to be slaves, there will always be slavemasters. Nut what I cannot understand is why do the slaves expect the slavemasters not to hold them in contempt and expect the slavemasters to respect them.
