It proves my thesis that United States is in the middle of the cycle of moving towards socialism. All one has to do is study history. Countries like Russia, China, Eastern Europe, India etc were also seduced by socialism. Soak the rich, fair distribution of wealth are the usual snake oil ingredients.
After 40-50 years of socialism most countries turned back towards capitalism. Russia has a flat tax. China has allowed creation of over a million new entrepreneur millionaires. India just elected a pro-capitalism prime minister.
Get used to more socialism for 20-25 more years before Americans wake up.
One way to stop all that in its tracks is to repeal and replace the 16th Amendment. Politicians have been able to abuse this (massive abuse when you count the trillions in debt) and give away the treasury for votes and power. I still hope and pray it is not too late, God willing.
