The government went off the rails at the turn of the Progressive era.
1. Creation of the Fed and it's printing press.
2. Creation of Federal income tax that was declared Unconstitutional by SCOTUS, so they amended the Constitution to have it be Constitutional.
(Both of these fiasco's helped create a collectivist state and world dominating war machine that we have now. They helped to fight off the collectivist war machines in Europe)
3. Social Security. FDR was told it was Unconstitutional, so he threatened SCOTUS with the "Court Packing Scheme". Although his plan failed, they fell in line shortly thereafter. The government steals from social security as they do to this day leaving worthless IOU's in place of money.
4. Medicare. The US now has set up two massive entitlements that are irrevocable. This led to Obamacare which will lead to socialized medicine. There is no stopping that now.
5. Vietnam. After the US had become a collectivist state, they did what Nazi Germany did. They used the power and might of the collectivist model to wage war across the globe and quell anti war sentiments at home through entitlement programs. In fact, Germany was the first to mandate health insurance.
6. Going off the Gold standard. Now the US was able to not pay for what it could not afford, namely the massive entitlement state and military conquests that persist even today. Not even Hitler had troops in over 70 countries around the world. Nazi Germany learned to get off the gold standard early as they ran massive debts and so did the US. In fact, after 1935 Hitler forbad budgets from being passed so as not to arouse the ire of the public. Sound familiar?
7. Patriot Act. The left hate it because of Bush.
8. The NDAA. The right hate it because of Obama.
(Retards on both sides should hate both)
9. Obamacare. So they try to pass a massive legislation that was unpopular with the public and bought off Congressmen to do it. Obama promised not to raise taxes, so he presents it as something other than a tax. Then Kennedy becomes ill and realizes he will have to vacate his seat. However, if a Republican takes the seat then it will kill Obamacare. To stop this, Kennedy tries to have the laws changed, in vain, to prevent an election that might destroy the legislation. However, despite the continued attempt to destroy the democratic process, Scott Walker was elected after Kennedy died. Keep in mind that Scot had ran on the premise of killing the legislation and was sent there to do just that by the people. However, those who hate democracy were not done, they used an Unconstitutional gimmick called Reconciliation to pass the unpopular legislation, thus bypassing Scott Walker and the will of the people. However, this meant that Congress could not know what they were voting for and had to pass it to find out what was in it. Undaunted by critics who were worried about the Constitutionality of the legislation, those in Congress mocked critics who said it may not be Constitutional. Low and behold, SCOTUS says that it was not Constitutional. So SCOTUS changes the wording and declares it to be a tax so it can be passed. However, this means that Obama just passed the largest tax increase in US history when he promised not to raise taxes. Oh, and did I mention that corporate America now sets our tax rates?
There, now I feel a little better.
Someone here is certainly full of hate.
