Hypocrisy Knows No (Political) Bounds

The Left hates the concept of "State'S Right's" - except when it comes to abortion... "well, in that case the States should decide, not the U.S. in Roe v Wade..."

The Right supposedly champions "State's Rights" - except in the case of Gay Marriage... in that case... "we need a Constitutional Amendment (from a Federal Government whose size and scope they wish to limit) to define marriage as between a man and a woman..."

Talk about FOS...

Peak Oil is going to demolish the Left's and and the Right's raison d'etre - Government tax money.

Tax collections are off 25% or so... AND THEY ARE NOT COMING BACK.

Yes, the demographics (an aging population) would argue for more government, not less... but you can argue all you want - the money won't be there.

So it is good-bye Left, and so long Right. The question is: what will take their place?

"A rose by any other name...." Heck, the new groups' might even call themselves Republicans and Democrats... just look back 40 years... Democrats were against the Civil Rights movement (don't believe me? Hit the history books young man...), now Americans of Color are a major power in the Democratic party.

Things change.

  1. You can expect Sales tax to continue to decline. As people have less money they will buy less. As people buy less retailers will lower prices to gain market share (and fool investors with sales numbers in measure of units). For every decline in retail price there will be a decline in sales tax collected. As businesses fail the states collecting sales tax will get screwed. The county I live in was down 16% year on year in Q2

  2. That is why they are going Cap and Trade taxes and taxes on toilet paper under the guise of save the environment, as income and sales taxes will continue to slide.

    I have hope that the next party in power is
    the Constitution Party!
