Anybody else worried??Taipan Daily: Cracks in the Pyramid Are Beginning to Show

Not Used to It
The final concern here is the very real long-term threat of political and secular violence. America is slowly becoming like many other places in the world, where barbed wire and pockets of wealth among poverty are the norm.
But a crucial difference is that lower-middle-class Americans -- a large portion of the 70% -- are not accustomed to being destitute or nearly so.
When a segment of society has psychologically accepted the way things are, there is more of a tendency toward dormancy. The constant poor quietly accept their fate.
Yet those who find themselves newly headed in that direction -- with memories of what used to be -- are not likely to be so complacent. Instead, they are likely to get angry. There is a hidden fuse that has been lit, with physical and political violence the outcome when the bomb it is attached to explodes.
Your editor shudders to think what kind of political backlash we will see -- and what vicious speeches and demagogue measures will be taken on both sides -- when the weight of the problem hits full force. Be prepared, because none of this is happening by accident. We are progressing down a very deliberate path -- a path of irresponsibility, greed and larceny, taking from the clueless many to enrich the connected few -- and will soon enough be reaping what we sow.
Warm Regards,
