Keep in mind, it is about money. If the fedgov quit getting our tax money. Large #s of Americans just decided in certain areas paying taxes ain't hot. It sucks so bad that they'll just ignore the system, and they began to fund things only through local and state governments, it would be the real beginnings of the end for the fedgov when they would either have to send in troops, or discuss terms.
It's about the money. Exactly so. And the money is tied into everything else. Americans have been on a roll--unprecedented prosperity--for sixty years. The likelihood of that continuing is small, given the way both the Government and the complicit consumer have raped the system. Americans have heard the horror stories--wheelbarrows of notes to get a few groceries--but they haven't yet had the experience. Be prepared.
