So whom is to restrain an all powerful government, one that can seize your bank account and all that one has worked for their whole life, with no proof of guilt? Or to prevent our shrinking working middle class from being taxed to the hilt to pay for those whom refuse to work? Alexis de Tocqueville said a lot of things, but the one that is truly in play is this one; “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.” Describes our entitlement Congress to a tee, and will be the death of us. Take from those who work for it and redistribute to those who will not, while building a power base that will be impossible to defeat. The only thing holding it back is the electoral college. It's a sad time for the dream of individual freedom and the promise of America. All hail the one party system. And we all know whom that party is and what they are trying to do.
