American Middle Class Disappearing?

[ATP]

I think the fundamental problem with the modern "big government" busybody state is that of power without accountability. They can mess up other people's lives, and suffer no harm to themselves.

Sadly,true.
About middle class vanishing - it was Wall Street plan from the start,when they take over Fed in 1913.Turn society into mass of slaves,and few rich oligarchs from Marx bloody fairy tale.

And now,they win.Or so they think.Personally,when i could see dystopian future with China/muslims ruling over world,there is no chance for deep state for killing USA and keep power there.

And in other news, we just learned that we can safely disregard everything AF writes about economy and finance. Probably other stuff as well.

He's an open proponent of big government, and seems to more or less believe that being a part of government magically makes a person either less likely to be corrupt, or outright incorruptible.

He's one of those people who would be absolutely hilarious, like an extra from an asylum in a Bill Murray movie, except that he, you know, votes on his insane delusions.

We have in Poland period/after Piłsudzki putch in 1926/ when it really happened.

Basically,Poland was democratic and partially corrupted as a result.So,Piłsudzki made putch and send his trusted soldiers as beaurocrat,becouse belived,that those who was trustworthy on battlefield would be honest and capable.
Well,it do not worked that way.

Poland was as corrupted as before,maybe even more.

Insane delusions that are rarely, if ever, internally consistent; because I'm pretty sure he himself has admitted several times that our government is hopelessly corrupt, whenever it suits his arguments.

Getting rid of aristocrats didn't rid us of aristocratic delusions.
