They might try Greek-style riots in blue cities in liberal states. They try that shit around here and someone is likely to shoot their sorry asses.

It's been the goal of the left for a long time.

And the voters will elect the politician (read D)who promises to keep the cash cow coming. Pandering with taxpayers money.

That makes this a do or die election year . The makers versus the takers.

Post by: DefiantSix on February 27, 2012, 04:56:45 PM: Now couple that fact - that 49.5% of Americans don't pay taxes - with the concurrent fact that the median income in the United States is some $53,000 dollars or so. So you can make damned near $50,000 or so and still not pay into the federal tax system (excluding FICA and Medicare, etc.)
