French, Fried?

Wendy McElroy continues her thoughtful posting in a piece titled Will a 2nd American Revolution be French?  From Wendy’s piece.

America has become a society of elites. Specifically, those in the political class who enjoy an endless economic bounty that comes from the sweat and blood of taxpayers. At the pinnacle are politicians with rich salaries, plush expense accounts (not counting bribes), platinum pensions and health insurance, etc. Then there are the millions of civil servants who are paid considerably more than their private-sector counterparts, who have greater job security due to unions, and who enjoy a pension plan that others can only dream about. The devouring appetite of these elites is fed by the ever-increasing taxes, fees and other money-grabs from the private, productive sector of society. As the level of theft increases, more productive people are being driven in poverty, homelessness and a despair that could easily turn into rage.

You’ll note, if you read Wendy’s post, that she does not state that there will be a 2nd American Revolution, but she also does not state that there will not be a 2nd American Revolution, but if you are paying attention, you’ll have noted Billy Beck’s insight from August 2009.

All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war.

Stay aware.
