More reliance on the government is the goal of the Obama administration. They want to turn the US into a western-European like nanny state. So this is not surprising to me.
IOW, Everything is going according to plan
Parts of the article are incorrect. The above assumption is that the total federal revenue receipts of $2.1 trillion was all due to individuals. Sorry, but that total revenue of $2.1 trillion for last year consists of corporate taxes, individul taxes, excise taxes, and custom duties.
Kind of hard to accept the article at face value with such a major flaw in it.
My theory of the entire Obama Plan is a national and ultimately, international, Cloward-Piven strategy of dependence, squeezed freedoms, open borders, Muslim appeasement and political correctness, ending in gulags and death.
When you topple the system, the only way “home” will be via government. Teaching children to be mediocre, global warmin is real, all whites are oppressive, homosexuality is normal, energy is bad, healthcare is a right, Marx was right, the Founders were wrong...it is a drumbeat we have been played for 100 years.
We need to either give in and take our Obama medicine, literally and figuratively, or push back and re-take our country, with the appropriate treason trials and “vigilante” justice that will undoubtedly occur.
On the plus side, I think this will all be over fairly quickly - like a boil coming to a head and bursting.
It will be painful and messy but will heal quickly and we will all adjust to the new paradigm...
What ever that might be. d:^/
