Great cartoon! Thank you.
Having lived in Europe, I have said many times that the US got past the point of no return in the 2008 election. The financial crisis (read the interventionist crisis), the lack of alternatives in that election, and the election of Obama himself and a Congress belonging to the same party, pushed the US past the tipping point. Now perpetual average European growth rates of 1.5% await you, dear Americans, which in a world that grows 4.5% on average have a definitive mathematical outcome of decline.
Wait for the Union Victory as one more definitive sign that you have crossed past the point of no return. You are now in the definitive grip of Michell’s law. Look for taxation on one side and union job comfort on the other side to further squelch incentives to produce, lower production, loss of standard of living and then… of course… more union calls for “fairness”..and so on. France, and its 50% income + 20% VAT tax rates is the next equilibrium point. After that, Greece, alas, without the existence of a larger stupid economy (Germany) capable of running to the rescue to save a 15 trillion US economy. Given this last point, the US decline under Mithell’s law may gather enough momentum to completely overshoot the French equilibrium point and go straight to Greece.
The irony is that one of the main events that turned Americans towards collectivism was 9/11. That will be the top world story of the early 21st century: A once uniquely individualist America, stricken by 20 lunatics, turns collectivist, and implodes economically 30 years later.
Be careful for which you wish for! Because, you just might get it.
For all states who wants Republicans: “You wanted Republicans! You got Republicans”
Your country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of Stupidity,
Of thee I sing;
Land where your fore fathers lied,
Land of ignorant pride,
From every mountainside
Let “ISM’ shine!
When I think of Republicans, Pinocchio comes to mind!!!!!!!!!!!
And, I reiterate, I don’t trust any “PARTY”
Conclusion: Love the article about Obama’s birth place, where that A** Hole stated, “Leave it alone”
Alert, Alert, Alert: ET from the planet Zoopublicans is running for President 2012
Just return to the states. And, good morning America
