An Accurate Prediction...Unfortunately

"Homeowners want protection from their own bad judgment, investors want protection from market forces, the old want free medicine, the young want free schooling, the unemployed want jobs and money, the rich want politicians in their pockets, the poor are never satisfied; investors, homeowners, pensioners, is there anyone left in the world who isn’t trying to get something for nothing? And the government obliges them." —Nation Newspaper Barbados

Speaking on his radio show October 3, 2008, Mark Levin said the following: "You know what happens if we elect a Marxist to the Presidency, and the third most liberal senator to the Vice Presidency, and Nancy Pelosi still running the House by even a bigger margin of liberals, and Harry Reid still running the Senate by even a much bigger margin of liberals there, do you know what happens? The foundations will start to crack!"

And here we are 11 months later, and these irresponsible people having been in power a little over seven months, and its true. The policies and laws, the regulations and rules, are all starting to weigh down on the country and the forces that have done this are not letting up in any way. This is a very crucial time in our nation's history, as with all times, but if Reagan was right—and I think he was—that freedom is always one generation away from extinction, then right now is the fight of a generation.

Continued: "Now you tell me if we don't live in a soft tyranny today. One-third of your fellow Americans do not pay any federal income taxes, ONE-THIRD! Two-thirds are carrying the entire burden"—and to remind you of what that burden is see U.S. National Debt Clock— "And of that two-thirds, the top 50 percent, which is about $60,000 and up, is paying 97 percent of the tax burden for everybody else! Now he wants to keep redistributing wealth, just how much more does he want to redistribute? He says, Obama, that 95 percent of Americans will get a tax break. How can that possibly be when only two-thirds pay? Well, you know how it is, it's called the massive welfare state. What he's saying is the people who don't currently pay income taxes, he's going to take money, more money from the people who do pay income taxes and give it to the people who don't pay income taxes. Where I come from that's called WELFARE! So what he wants to do is massively increase the welfare state, massively redistribute wealth, and a lot of people who aren't millionaires are saying, "Oh I'm all for it, good, gimme, gimme!" You're gonna be punished!"

Well I couldn't have said it better myself, and it is all happening right in front of our faces, as we speak. Our way of life cannot take much more of this. As was said, "the foundations are starting to crack."
