“Unlike leftist interests such as labor unions,
environmentalists, and “community activists,” the
livelihood of most middle-class conservatives is
not tied up in who runs the government.”
This is certainly what most of us believe now and have always believed. However, the real point of the last election and the predations of the current regime upon the rule of law is that it by taking that attitude, we have allowed those who are activist, but not the ones who pay the bills, to dominate political decision-making.
Already, those who get more from government than they pay – the 50% who pay 3% of income taxes and the myriads of government and union employees – are very close to a majority of the voting public. In some states, they are a majority. If we don’t get out there and work like hell for conservative candidates dedicated to making sure the burden of taxation is borne by all, and to utterly eliminating public sector unions (and a large percentage of public sector employees), it will be over for the US as a constitutional republic under the rule of law.
