Yeah, we really can't underestimate the opposition here. Everyone should keep in mind that near 50% of the public no longer pays any federal income tax at all - those are Democratic voters and they will keep turning out to keep the gravy train rolling. As the productive people in society become more and more of a minority, we are going to have to make certain to turn out in ever greater numbers to avoid being swamped.

You nailed the issue really well.
When the United States hits the point where at least 52% of the American people are paying no taxes and getting lots of govt-issued benefits, we will never be the same nation ever again.
