Just tax the evil rich at 90% and we can everything we want forever!
So, seriously! My liberal arts college professor told me so!
It will be really entertaining when the curtailment starts. We got a while to go yet. I expect SS to eventually be means tested with an ever dropping threshold until only the real losers get it. That is gonna go over real well.
Then I expect raising taxes on junk food, booze, bling, etc. That will go over real well too.
Then I expect some kind of VAT tax. Oh the libbie pundits will be crying and screaming about how it hits the poor, poor, pitiful poor the hardest... and it will get passed. Probably by a bipartisan majority.
Then when that don't provide the money needed, the real pain will start. Welfare cuts. Watch the pundits scream and moan. Then expect to see the pavement apes rioting in the streets and getting mowed down by the national guard.
I'm figuring about another 15-20 years. 25-30 years max. It will happen. It has to. Simple math will tell you that.
Bookmark this dummies. Some of you won't be around then, but a lot of you will. It will happen and it will suck to be you.
