The end is nigh
   
No, you shut up. O.K. I'm just practicing for the inevitable.

There is no progressivism happening in America(period). In fact, if a progressive idea finds it's way to Washington, it'll be reversed to become a corporatist wet dream.(think HCR). The system is closed to the people. And now, our antique progressive institutions that somehow became law, are about to be raided by the guys who legally steal for a living (wall street, banks, HMO's, insurance co.s).

Why fight it? How 'bout a boycott? Let's protest! Write our congressmen(haha). Vote for hope and change(boohoo).

I for one, have no idea what to do to save what's left, let alone attempt to institute new progressive ideas. I think I know how the dinosaurs must have felt while watching that asteroid hit the upper atmosphere.

Maybe I shouldn't subject y'all to my pessimism. But I think that we are about to really digress into a very unrecognizable state. Misery will be very obvious and maybe it must happen this way because it usually does. Only when we are destitute, when the state cannot steal from us, that they decide that they need our output again. The state and the corporations decide our fate now. I'm too old to become a farmer or a survivalist. **** it.

Yeah damn them evil banks, insurance companies, etc having the nerve to charge for services.

A DUmmy complaining about the state stealing from people is priceless.
Liberalism is all about the state stealing from us.

Americans, I have some bad news for you:

You have the worst quality of life in the developed world—by a wide margin.

If you had any idea of how people really lived in Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many parts of Asia, you’d be rioting in the streets calling for a better life. In fact, the average Australian or Singaporean taxi driver has a much better standard of living than the typical American white-collar worker.

I know this because I am an American, and I escaped from the prison you call home.

I have lived all around the world, in wealthy countries and poor ones, and there is only one country I would never consider living in again: The United States of America. The mere thought of it fills me with dread.

If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, then maybe YOU DUmmys should take better care of your own lawn.
Get it DUmmys?

GET THE **** OUT! Leave this Country, never look or come back. The lord zero is trying to make our standards of living lower with a crappy economy, VERY high unemployment and all the past failed policies. We the people will not allow it. Go back to Singapore or Australia. Don't ever compare America to those Countries again. Get out, you out scrunt!

Speck Tater has been pimping that old post with outdated and bad information for at least a couple of weeks now.  Even the DUmmies have told him his information is flawed.

On the other hand, I agree.  They should leave.
