How the hell is it robbery to tax the people who have the money, but's it's okay to tax the rest of us who don't?
THIS is why we're in financial trouble.
I was being sarcastic when ranting that government taxes equal "Communism and robbery", but that is the popular opinion amongst far right Libetarians of the Republican Party, and low taxes is one of the reasons why California is in the shit (despite being as wealthy as Britain).
The best times for America are ahead of it. The things the OP mentioned are incredibly blown out of proportion. Do I think America will stay the lone super power? No, I don't. I don't think America will be a super power in times to come. I personally don't think it matters that much.
