It’s the final battle royale’ and in one corner we have Mr. and Mrs. America. Their job has been to stop government from growing in both scope and power and in the opposing corner is big government and you know their job! They exist to grow and consuming vast quantities of our wealth.
This epic struggle has taken place in many countries around the world for centuries. It dates back before the invention of gerrymandered districts, to a time long ago when toga’s were worn instead of Armani suits, when a few drachmas donated to the right senator’s campaign chest could get you some great personalized legislation…thank goodness we don’t do that anymore!
Yes, the great unwashed masses have long struggled against this insidious enemy of freedom. And great totalitarian empires have waged many a war to dominate said masses, and yet there is still no clear victor! But, behold, that was all before the creation of two great allies, subtle socialism and overt populism. We all know about socialism and populism is just the realization that by a simple majority vote the people could shift wealth from the rich to themselves, just like the government does to all of us. Thanks to this breakthrough we may soon have a winner and it won’t be you, unless you work for the government or live on a guaranteed income.
