We are turning down an old road that has been trodden on many times before, and just so long as we are allowed our televisions and our ball games undisturbed, we really don't give a shit where it takes us.
That's the sad part. Most people are so wrapped up in everything else that they don't realize what's going on in Washington. It's not even happening under the radar anymore either.
Just the fact that they talk about salary caps and government removal of CEOs that "pose a risk to the financial system" scares the shit out of me. It'll start with the corporate executives and eventually move down to the common man. Government rarely gives up power, they usually just slowly claim more and more.
