We don't need to know every repercussion to know that that principle is being grossly violated.

@Blindbird knowing that it is violated for some people and explaining why it is to everybody else would require a lot of wording is what I am saying.

Underestimating IMO. We have a growing segment of the population who is economically and politically marginalized. It's tinder for political unrest.

@Blindbird We can hope.

@Blindbird My point, though, is that if it comes to that, they won't be protesting over the federal government's overreaching and doing too much. Rather the reverse, the problem is the private sector run wild.

@Paul4747 the private sector has captured government, which was the only thing restraining their greed. We need to take that back and get rid of the idea that " big government is bad" . Government is and should be an institution run by its citizens with those citizens interests in mind. What we have rn is a government run by big business for big business.

@Blindbird
I agree to the extent that the Republican party has their claws into things. I'm not one, though, who accepts the notion that both parties are identical.

@Paul4747 the Democrats are marginally better. They are still in big corps pockets though and equally unwilling to follow the will of the american people. Look at what happened with Bernie vs. Hillary. Dems completely ignored what everyone wanted and cheated, lied and attempted sabotage to push their candidate, who no one wanted to vote for.
