Witness the end result of the Welfare State. These European countries are out of OPM (Other Peoples’ Money) and yet they don’t want the gravy train to stop. They want to keep living above their means so they vote out anyone who says the party has to end. Then when even the Socialists don’t have any more money, like in Greece, the people riot and simply start confiscating the wealth of the rich. Its anarchy and mob rule. And its coming to the USA too. Way too many Americans act like adult children who want to live the good life off someone else’s labor.
“Way too many Americans act like adult children who want to live the good life off someone else’s labor.”
In the past, this mentality was confined to the perennially indigent and surly losers too stupid, lazy and spoiled to pay their own way.
Now… everyone smells blood in the water.
It will not end well...and Liberals are forcing the matter with their irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric.
They have all forgotten the oppression and hopeless servitude American colonists rejected just to stand up straight and call themselves FREE, no matter what the cost!

There is an entire generation of voting age Euroweenies who have never known anything but a gravy train.
How can you tell them to tighten their belts when they wear suspenders?
People won’t willing sacrifice to save other people’s money.
Human nature. That is the danger of doing an austerity program once the takers out number the givers.
“And its coming to the USA too.”
The 2010 elections indicate otherwise. Also, Obama continues to slip in the polls, which is a good sign.
