Prognosis is fun

Will be interesting if have a “phase shift” after the election

I feel Americans are passive people as they did nothing when Woodrow Wilson brought in income tax and federal reserve

Don’t mean it as an insult just based on historical experience

Of course there was a civil war but was the consciousness very different then

America had always had massive immigration

Which can change the zeitgeist

Just my ramblings

Hobson in his book Imperialism mentions general income tax as the key to establishing empire for the oligarchs

As general population then foots the bill
