As a side note a quick question
If this country does go more socialist in its policies and starts handing out "free" things who is actually going to pay for it?
My wife and I are about to retire so its unlikely to be a big impact on any taxes we pay, in fact if they pander to the elderly we might even be on the receiving end of the "free" stuff - (at least while it lasts)
From what I have seen most of us on here are probably nearer the end of our working years than most and as such could probably limit the financial impact of new socialist programs.
The people who are going to pay for it are going to be the young working people - the same people who seem to think its a good idea
Now personally I think them wanting this type of government is a huge mistake and I think that history shows this, but on the other hand if they are the ones who will be the most impacted trying to pay for it who am I to tell them they can't have it?
Seriously I got to live my life under a style of government of my generations choosing shouldn't they also? - - even if we think its incredibly stupid? especially when it is our generation that allowed them to be brought up being taught this crap???
can any generation protect the next generation from bad choices? should we?
Anyway just something to ponder - heck if my parents could have made all of my generations choices the Beatles would have never made it - - damn long hair hippies!
