I heard this crapola for decades about us being at the crossroads. We have passed the crossroads. Watch what the non-taxpayers will do if they have to fend for themselves. For the passive taxpayers it appears that they will work 16 hrs per day rather than rebel.
I admit that this crossroads is far down the path to destruction...and perhaps one of if not the last one before we plunge over the cliff.
They will fight it tooth and nail...and if we win and begin to turn things around, I expect all of those who have been purposefully raised on the dole...to expect it, to believe they are entitled to it...will not be taken off of it easily. But it is a part of what must happen if we are to preserve our constitution and republic...and our liberty and very life.
