Read this: Obama Deal with Family A, B and C and cry... or rage. (But do something already!)
The FinancialNinja of course is just nimble enough to avoid being raped (like Family B or C) because ninjas move fast and have secret, super, hyper skills. But how many other responsible individuals will be forced (literally at gunpoint) to re-distribute their hard earned wealth to their irresponsible, incompetent and fat neighbors to satiate their feelings of divine entitlement?
Democracy is the rule of the majority. You are now bearing witness to what happens when the majority loses its way.
Government, is your own worst enemy. Opt out or die. It really is that simple. Vote with your money. Go short or send your wealth overseas. Anything. Starve the beast and it must die.
Or bend over.
BOHICA!

Please, do yourself a good turn and read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. She descrbes this sickening plot in thought provoking detail.
Evan,
Waaay ahead of you. I own every book ever written by Ayn Rand.
Overseas seems to be universally in worse shape than the United States, tbh.
I plan to sit on our own sinking ship until it's time to jump off.
And I'd say Idiocracy is the more applicable text to our current meltdown than Atlas Shrugged.
I'm working on reducing spending and bank reliance. Do you have any ideas on how to move money safely out of the country?
"Democracy is when the stupidest 51% decide"
and that's my own quote.
(But that turns out to be better than any other form of government where, at least over time, someone from the stupidest 10% or worse ends up permanently in charge.)
Democracy isn't the rule of the majority. It's where the minority gets a voice.
