Week's events show we're in big trouble

Amazing article. So often I get the sense of pre-Revolutionary France where decadent, self-absorbed aristocracy gossiped about the affairs of the French Court and complained about their servants. There was a tidal wave coming that they didn't even see until it swept over them.

The French Revolution, rightly or wrongly, has been portrayed as an uprising of the "common people" against a corrupt ruling class. Unfortunately the new American Revolution would seem more like the consolidation of power of a corrupt ruling class over what's left of the American common people. It's not always easy to be objective about a tidal wave that's sweeping over you.

Maybe some of you remember my complaining years ago about the 20 people living in garages here in Fillmore, yet paying nothing in taxes to support the infrastructure. I pay over $100 a month for water whether I use one drop or that 5 baths a day. Those same people living in that garage, who flush the toilet 20 times more than I do and have not paid their share to upgrade the sewer system, and use 20 times more cars on the road, who use up the infrastructure 20 times faster, are not paying anything to replace it. This is happening all over California. I along with many of you, knew that it couldn't continue forever. Now, there are people who are surprised at the results. What my question is, is where were they living, and how ignorant are they that they didn't foresee this? Yet these are the same people who want the illegals here and keep doling out entitlements to them. Even today they don't see the correlation. When it is said that liberals are stupid, I do agree, just look at what little common sense they have.
