When a former member of the Reagan administration writes stuff like this, you know things are getting serious.
Still, the vast majority of Americans are confused, misdirected, distracted, and ignorant of their own interests. For example, in my own State of Washington, after a well-funded media barrage urging a "no" vote, the citizens, like sheep going to their slaughter, rejected a ballot measure to establish a State income tax only for people earning over $200,000! Meanwhile their schools, public and social services are being severely slashed. Once again, when given the rare opportunity to vote on something meaningful, they voted against their own interests!
