    Another thing about the majority, the majority of history demonstrates that the majority of the time the majority of the masses are wrong about the majority of that which they hold faith in. From the earth as being flat, to the earth is the center of the solar system, to the Pope is infallible, to if man was meant to fly, God would have given him wings, to slavery, to Jim Crow laws, and to the PC madness of today.

    The majority is as wrong as they are clueless. Hell, the majority today thinks GMOs are immoral. That's par for the course.

    If technological progress, prosperity, and well being depended upon the majority, the majority would be poor, sick, dying, and dead.

    The head lemming says follow me and they all run for the cliff. Liberals have the freedom of not having to think for themselves. They have head lemmings that do that for them.

    Sounds like the people are experiencing a squeeze in their standard of living.

    This list doesn't sound particularly Conservative or Progressive.

    It also sounds like the state might have been getting into a huge amount of debt and selling off state assets for revenue.
    Where is all this money going?

    Not so hard to understand. The tax and spend crowd never see a tax they don't like unless it is on them. They impose taxes to pay for all the free stuff they promise to get votes from the ignorant. They tax the rich. The rich move and they lose that source of revenue. Then they turn on the corporations. The corporations leave as well and take jobs with them. This leaves the government with all kinds of unfunded freebies. Now the government realizes they have to either cut the freebies or tax someone else to pay for them. Then they start squeezing the lemmings who voted them in. This is where the problems start. You see the lemming were promised freebies that were to be paid for by others. Paying for them themselves is not what they signed up for. You see all bills eventually come due and there is no free lunch.
