that's an excellent post... i have to agree that if you see a light barreling down upon you, and it's train, what do you do? step aside, (not just you,but your family) or do you stand firm and believe that someway, somehow, the train you see is derailed, as cooler and more rational heads prevail ( i think 2010 election will be a watershed in that regard) otoh, i think it makes total sense to at the very minimum look into other countries that are not so heavily burdened by unfunded liabilities... i would not, with that scenario upon the younger generation under any rationale remain... simply stand idle and do nothing it is theft, pure and simple but if the PTB insist upon it, and the people are unable or unwilling to unseat them, then, well frankly, we deserve the fate that we (and our children) get... we are reaching a watershed moment in our history, the inability to pay for unfunded liabilities, the contraction of our economy, which is unable to fund even current liabilities...(see august SS deficit) we cannot sustain ill-concieved 'promises' on the backs of our future generations...(debt SLAVES) the time is now to say no... no more... if we return the current representative regime back to power, we deserve what we get... and the intelligent ones will have made provisions to move their assets and future of their family elsewhere

So the question is, can the progression be stopped once socialism has taken a firm hold? Much of Europe seems to be at an equilibrium where they aren't teetering too closely to communism. if you believe that what about this.... (communism is not the only problem) * sharia law is beginning to be introduced in britain, france, the netherlands and denmark (and possibly other european countries)... * population of the major european countries is in such decline (compared to the muslim populations of each of these countries is growing....) that the replacement of the european population is beyond repair.... (replenishment) * taxes are even higher than here... corporate, personal... VAT ( a glimpse of what is to come)? * finances in some of the countries... are worse than here... (if one can imagine that) that is not very good equilibrium.... islamicpopulation.com billionbibles.org en.wikipedia.org however you do make some good points about 2010.... i am just simply doubtful that after so many years and even on the last attempt.... a trend reversal strong enough will be created.... but as i always say.... i hope i am wrong.....
