Like the man said "When you rob Peter to pay Paul, the government will always have Paul's support."
The USA is one third Peter and two thirds Paul. Peter being the middle class taxpayer who's ranks are rapidly disappearing.
Once the middle class is gone and the goverment won't be able to rob Peter, the Pauls will have their revolt and be called heroes.
As far as Peter is concerned....Paul can go to hell.

Don't forget more separations, black, white, Hispanic, homosexual, male, female, transgendered, every group has a voice and wants to be heard. The divisions are astounding once you look closer. How can there be unity?

This is a simple question, but there isn't a simple answer, although I would have to lean towards no. I would like to think that we as Americans could come together and fight the common enemy and that's not simple either. Divide and Conquer.
This is also a little off topic, but not too long ago me and a friend were out shooting and his dad was there and just before we got done, if I remember right his dad made this comment, I'm glad we have all these guns, so we could stop those blacks from coming and taking over. I was completly amazed at the ingorance and racism. I beleive ingorance to be the biggest factor for use not being united.edit on 23-4-2011 by TraptInTheSystem because: (no reason given)
