The more we have working for government the more votes thare are going to be voting for government. Therefore government workers, along with the millions who are fed and housed by the government and/or don’t pay taxes give us a massive underculture designed to keep government all powerful. So, it will take more and more taxes from fewer and fewer people in an ever shrinking private sector to keep the parasite class fed. No way out of theis vicious circle without strong, charismatic leadership and I don’t see that on any horizon.

The parasite/host dynamic is instructive but too little descriptive.

The most seamlessly corrupt public sector in the Union: Chicago/Cook County, both with their hands in the pants of the state (Springfield) legislature and all three having their mandibles in the flesh of the producers. Here you have the apt metaphor – zombies: a mindless soulless citizenry that couldn’t vote for other than a flesh-eating mutation of themselves if their lives depended on it.

As soon as you hear the words “private SECTOR” – and so-called conservatives use it as often as libs – you know the whole system has passed the Socialist tipping point: 6 wolves and 5 sheep arguing about what’s for dinner, then it’s 6/4 (Greece, right now), 6/3….6/0…and then the socialist wolves eat each other. At least in theory. In fact, due to all the debt-finance and monetization along the way, the currency will collapse well before
this automatic end point. In the case of the U.S., that’ll be real soon.
