theright has been on a decades long campaign to lower taxes on the rich and run up government debt that is born by the average taxpayer.
not unlike the french economy before the revolution.

its a delusional time in america. people are looking to scape goat anyone but the poor economic planning of not taxing in proportion to debt.

this is fueled by religions that promise a deist solution by rapture and end of days.

but then american have always wanted to avoid taxes--remember the american revolution. the british were trying to getthe colonies to pay part of the debt england had incurred defending the colonies from the french.

i don't think common sense is going to retur before a real collapse
