SEE HERE Thomas Sowell asks the key question: "Is Democracy Viable?" If the majority is prepared to use their power to strip the minority of their earned property then the answer is a resounding "No!" and that is troubling. Sowell points out "A recent poll showed that nearly half the American public believes that the government should redistribute wealth." This is not a government function. It is the policy of thieves and brigands. Nor does it work except in the very shortest of terms. The relatively quick result is the descent into tyranny and barbarism. Recent news stories about flash mobs robbing stores and terrorizing citizens suggests that the dissolution may well be underway. If in fact the economy seriously tanks, as it may well given the irresponsible policies being followed intentionally by the left, we may well discover how thick the veneer of civilization actually is. I hope we don't have to find out.
