“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
― Benjamin Franklin
We now have politicians proposing free college, healthcare, housing and a guaranteed income to, "all those unable OR UNWILLING to work". You read that right. They want to pay people who are able to work, but just don't want to.
At this rate, we won’t even be able to pay the interest on our national debt in 10 years. Unless we wake up almost immediately, we’re going to reach the point of no return...if we haven't already.
I live in the US. Many think Venezuela can’t happen here. It most certainly can and will if we continue down this path.
Oh, but now they want everyone to believe the unwilling part was a mistake. Or a joke. 'Hahahahaha foolish citizen, believing what we said instead of what we wanted you to feel.
Anyway, who says we said that? You? Probably the other guys, just trying to make us look bad.'
Politics is like a high school cafeteria these days lol.
Unreal
History always repeats. There will be a revolution in America again at some point. Probably not in our lifetimes though.
I'm not so sure it won't be in our lifetime. I certainly hope not.
I feel the same way. But I have a kid, so I'm not even off the hook if it waits till my lifetime is done. All the more reason to invest in people figuring things out in civil society!
