A minority you said? That's exactly what the left, the democrat party, that is the neo-Marxist Party of America is doing right now. The top 50% of wage earners pay 96% of the taxes; the top 5% of wage earners pay something on the order of 36% of the taxes and the democrat party wants to make that curve steeper. Why? So that the people paying the taxes are such a minority that if they banded together to vote against these neo-Marxists it would make no difference at all. The people paying the taxes would essentially have no voice. And when Bush gives some of the taxes back to the people who are actually paying it, the neo-Marxist democrat party screams, "It's a tax break for the rich," No. It's a tax break for the people who actually pay the damned taxes in the firs place.
Have a look at this. See if it chills your bones. It should.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage."
And this guy was not speaking about some modern state. He was speaking about the fall of the first Athenean Republic.
When you see the liberals on TV wringing their hands talking about the poor and excoriating the rich and the Republicans, and you see Hillary running for president, etc., etc., be afriad, be very afraid.
