No, there is nothing new going on here. The government only become corrupt and our enemy when the GOP isn't in charge. It happens every time. The very same people that were "keeping us safe" last year are now "jack-booted thugs" just because of republican rhytoric. We might as well get used to black helicopters and blue dress inspecter for the next few years. The hounding of a democrat president never ends.
 
We pay considerably less in income taxes today than we have throughout most of the 20th century. Our current top tax rate is 35%, compared to being over 50% from '32 to '86. Other than the period between '88 and 92', we have the lowest top tax rate since 1931. The bottom income tax rate is 10%, the lowest since 1941.

Don't tell this to the tea-baggers. They're convienced that Obama has trippled their taxes, and has ran up 20 trillion dollars of debt.
 
Yes, when PBO seizes power and installs himself as dictator, there will be an uprising. I'm gonna be up-n-the-middle-of-it, too.

Sure, you and what? 17 other people?

Good luck with that.

No. Don't mistake people being POed, and maybe some tiny handful acting up and making phone calls or throwing rocks, as indicators of some kind of armed revolution.

As long as we still have a real chance to vote the SOBs out come next election, the conflicts will likely remain confined to the ballot box.

Don't worry. When it happens, we'll be there to protect you and your family.
 
I think there may be a chance now of some state at least considering succeeding from the US. The unfunded mandates are too onerous to bear and the State governments are closer to the People. Added to that the blatant disregard of securing our borders by both Parties in the government makes this more likely since the Civil War.
 
Maybe it's folks like you that we will need protection from.

It is like the ones who are preparing for the Zombie apocalypse. :mrgreen:
 
Do you think there will be an armed citizen rebellion or civil war against the government within the next 10 years?

No, I don't think there will be mass uprising by the people for another half a century or more. I do believe that there may be blood on the senate floor eventually and that there may be a series of assasination attempts on various members of congress and the PotUS. There are some real whackjobs out there and they never cease to surprise you with their craziness.
 
IMO, the best rebellion would be an economic one, or a serious tax protest iow. DC thrives on money and it is where politicians manipulate the masses. Severely cutting off the flow of money would be far more effective than anything that I can think of.

That would be a rebellion I could get behind.

I think the government would just borrow and print more money.

No, everyone is too pussified to do something like that.


Most citizens won't even arm themselves to defend their own homes.... buncha ******s.

They probably would, but this has consequences of its own on the economy. They are already on shaky ground with the current level of debt we are carrying.

And how many new licenses, taxes, and fees have been added since 1932?

I think you need to look a bit farther than just the Fed tax rate.

No.
There is a good chance of some societal/governmental/economic collapse by then, however.
