Go on. Go right ahead. Vote for someone to rule you who will, bizarrely enough, "vote" himself a paycheck far larger than you could ever even imagine.
Power has its benefits, you see.
And, the best thing about our politicians is that they want power. Over you. Vote for that.
Carry on. Everything's just fine.

It's all futile. We are heading inexorably towards musty, threadbare decline, European style. Like out cousins on the Olde Continent, we no longer even want to make babies.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats dream of becoming Germany, with its collective union-owner-government business model and 70% overall tax rates.
What they fail to realize is that model won't work here. Germany has an efficient and honest government; ours is grotesquely wasteful and decadently corrupt.

Someone once said "we're like the 18th C, but without the talent..." I'd say there's a truth in that, Silverfiddle.

But there's another factor -- the US should be a net exporter of oil and gas by 2020, if not sooner. Might change everything. Except the corruption, of course.
Yes Infidel, but we mustn't forget the serpent loses in the end.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be waxing strong in the interim...
"we're like the 18th C, but without the talent..."
ReplyDeleteI like that! I learn so much here.
"the US should be a net exporter of oil and gas by 2020"
But like the third-world kleptocracy we are striving mightily to become, we will heroically find a way to piss it all away. See Venezuela, Argentina...
Good Argentina/Venezuela point...
ReplyDeleteOr Great Britain - who wasted all of her oil and gas revenues ending our industrial society (causing long term mass unemployment) and replacing it with 'service industries'...like banking...errr..
ReplyDeleteNet exporter of oil and gas? Gee, the US could become the next Russia. I'm sure Obama is envious of Putin's status as Godfather of the Russian syndicate.
ReplyDeleteWell said Lukeya...
ReplyDeleteJust think, Arimathean -- Obama could run and run and...
