[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m very worried about the direction of our country. There seems to be an accelerating drift toward socialism with the forced distribution of wealth. The famous quote about socialism working until you run out of other people’s money keeps coming to mind. What are people’s thoughts on this? [/quote]

My thought is....is there someone with too much time on their hands starting all these threads just to get people riled up for their own entertainment? Or is someone or some organization funding an effort to go on various popular message and discussion boards and start threads to get people riled up to increase the perception of strong political divides, reduce confidence in the government, and generally contribute to the negative climate in the US?

There was a great podcast posted last week here in the Money forum. The take-away as it applies to this thread is that 70% of Americans are basically centrist and want to get along. But there is 15% extremists on the left and 15% extremists on the right who live in an echo chamber of their own beliefs and are highly vocal and demonizing, making the 70% fearful of speaking out. This makes the country seem more divided than it is. [/quote]

I don't see how that can be true when somehow the 15%managed to get rid of my daughter's abortion rights.[/quote]

Pahleeze…..stop spouting falsities you read in The NY Times and WaPo. They didn’t get rid of your daughter’s right to an abortion. They passed abortion rights onto the States where it correctly should be per our Constitution which clearly states powers not specifically given to the federal govt is with the States. If you don’t like that fact, get an abortion rights amendment added to the Constitution or get a federal law passed.

What’s more concerning is I don’t see how the above can be true when somehow the 15% managed to open our borders to an illegal immigration onslaught, forgive student loans with taxpayer money for individuals who signed an individual contract to pay the loans back, printed trillions of dollars resulting in runaway inflation, allow rampant crime to explode with little legal repercussions, attempt to ban gas stoves, provide free health care to illegal aliens, etc etc[/quote]
