One the bright side, oil and taxes are too high for most working people. On the not so bright side, this country is not used to the political instability, wide spread rioting and the brutish police state. As a person who does look at future trends, I am sure there are some kernels of truth in the article, such as anti-immigrant sentiment: “He predicts wage riots and anti-government street protests and intensified anti-immigration movements looking to scapegoat the “aliens” among us and toward the 1 percent of Americans who received 50 percent…” A lot of this scenario unfolding depends on how the government continues to deal with the economy and that depends on Congress and the election. It gives a whole new meaning to gate guarded.
