>>They could have tried for some real positive propaganda.
Chicago is the model for the Obamanation. The government is going to lie to you, and whether you believe it or not, you wlll have to accept it. Or don’t accept. They don’t care because we are powerless to stop them. The communists control the media, the courts, and the ballot boxes and we’re too busy working to take to the streets.
Conservatives are people who live off their own efforts and through their taxes support hordes of others who mean them only ill. That is the bane of a prosperous middle class society that has grown rich through the free market and general liberty. It becomes too rich for its own good and ends up supporting large numbers of non producing academics and a whole class of people who live off the fruits of the market but have no sympathy for the system that made them rich. I refer to the academics, government employees, and the progeny of wealthy entrepreneurs and managers who need not do productive work during and after University as well as the increasing hordes of welfare parasites. The one group, seeing no connection of productive work with their estate dream up great utopias and use their daddys' wealth and their own idle time to impose those schemes. The Welfarites provide bodies for intimidation of the ones gainfully engaged and subjects for "pity" and the confiscation of yet more money from the productive segment.
We have crossed a "tipping point," I think, where there are as many not paying the major tax as there are those who do. That includes a part of the wealthy whose wealth is largely protected and immune to taxation. That is a near majority of the population whose immediate interest is in more government expenditure and higher taxes in order to support them in idleness. It only takes a small portion of soft headed entrepreneurs and working people to tip the balance to the irrecoverable downside. Or it will take one more income tax cut. Income tax cuts are always accompanied by removing yet more people from the tax rolls and converting that many more people to the tax consuming class who vote for higher rates and more spending.
