Retirement plans, homes and now income will be on huge automated teller machine for the government. And for what??

Edit: I was wondering what will happen when the inevitable additional tax hikes will come in a year. I think the villagers will not swallow that pill.
and for what you ask, well, you know of course,...entitled voters, but can you really blame them?

Americans cannot compete for jobs in the world and keep any real quality of life. The global economy will take America back 100 years as other nations go through what we did, cheap labor, no benefits or regulation. China, India, etc...are having there own industrial revolution and we're paying for it. It's creating a rich and a poor class, a very large poor class.
Sure, many are doing OK, but millions each year are losing wages, benefits, jobs....

I had a friend that had a nice corporate job, he hated all the liberal entitled voters. His job was cut....in a year he couldn't find anything close to salary and benefits. He finally sold his big home just so he could afford insurance for his sick wife. Now he can't afford that with his 30K income.

Yea, we had a great fake economy for a few decades, but now the chickens have come to roost.
