The Roman Empire failed and self-destructed because the people and leaders became corrupt. They were only interested in the circus and games (facebook and iPhones); the leaders were corrupt too, so their empire self-destructed from within, just as we are doing in America today. We suffer from the same problem, as most Americans are brainwashed by our educational system and the media. We have no knowledge of our founding principles, and are only experts in football, baseball and the latest hit reality TV show but few know anything about our history or constitutional principles and for the most part, have no interest in learning. The Roman Empire failure is staring us in the face. We are drowning in debt. We spend masses amounts of money we do not have and the only solution we get from Democrats is revenue increases despite the fact the rich already pay rates of 50-60% when you include state and property taxes. Any conservative who truthfully points this out is vilified. There is no debate as the “radical” view consisting of common sense is “racist” or “crazy”. The tax rates for successful people is a denial of the basic principle of freedom we stand for. We as a society expect successful people to now become serfs of the federal government and the poor are denied the opportunity to become successful because we prefer to throw $300-4000 a week of free money and benefits which provide no incentives in our society to grow our economy. In five years the black community’s unemployment rate has risen sharply despite the “recovery”. Employment participation is the lowest in history as people are unemployed so long and no longer receive benefits and aren’t considered as part of the unemployed (even though they’re… unemployed). They now have moved from the unemployment count over to the disability scam and/or food stamp collectors. We keep borrowing to pay these benefits and now we have just added Obamacare, another $2.7 trillion worth of estimated new debt over the next ten years, which will not only kill job growth but hurt existing middle class families with massive increases in insurance costs. This will only serve to act as a huge tax increase and send us back into, not a recession but a depression, unless it is scrapped. It maybe scrapped but the polls will have to turn on the Democrats first. The Republican establishment has failed to provide viable opposition, so we have to await abject failure from the Democrats in order to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
