We now have an electorate that no longer cares about where the money comes from for all the promises the politicians make, they just want their share because the program sounds good.
Some day those who pay the lion’s share of the taxes to our Government are going to up and leave, and take their money and the jobs that money creates with them.
So when our economy crashes and there’s no longer any money for the government to hand out, you’ll only have one questions left to ask, “Who’s John Galt?”
