“But Ralph, if the U.S. economy tanks, the government can’t collect taxes from the unemployed and being that tax collection is what they do for a living, why would they purposely sabotage themselves?”

 

Maintaining the perpetual smirk, Ralph poured himself another cup of high test and slowly stirred in four teaspoons of sugar as he considered his rebuttal.

We went on to discuss the very real possibility of marshal law and the fact that the mortgage crisis was orchestrated in order for the government backed lenders to take over the housing in the U.S. so that they could rent them back to the public who will then be slaves.
