The United States has collapsed economically, socially, politically, legally, constitutionally, and environmentally.

The tax that was supposed to soak the rich has instead soaked America. The beneficiary of the income tax has not been the poor, but big government. The income tax has given us a government bureaucracy that outnumbers the manufacturing work force. It has created welfare dependencies that have entrapped millions of Americans in an underclass that is forced to live a sordid existence of trading votes for government handouts.

A country whose population has been trained to accept the government's word and to shun those who question it is a country without liberty in its future.

There are enough fools in Washington to destroy the country without any help from Muslim terrorists.

The worst criminals of our time are the US and UK governments. Both are devoid of all integrity, all honor, all mercy, all humanity. Many members of both governments would have made perfect functionaries in Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany.

As the growing emphasis on feelings crowds out reason, facts will play a smaller role in public discourse.

The US is not a superpower. The US is a financially dependent country that foreign lenders can close down at will. Washington still hasn’t learned this. American hubris can lead the administration and Congress into a bailout solution that the rest of the world, which has to finance it, might not accept.
