So, how far away do you think we are from being able to give Reaganomics last rites?

How close do you think you are to being discarded by America? I'd say that you're within five years of losing every American right and Constitutional protection that you currently have and take for granted today.

A political order that discards its own people deserves itself to be discarded, whether the Devil's Reich, Stalin's Gulag empire, Uganda under the madness of Idi A-murderin', Rwanda during its genocide, Iraq under Satan Hussein, or contemporary Syria or North Korea. This should be clear:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. 

No, this is not Marxist rhetoric!

This is the Real America, the principles of which include guarantee of life and liberty, and the possibility that one can seek happiness in life (if no guarantee of finding that happiness). If people have no right to happiness except in complete compliance with your values, especially if they differ from your culture, then people have every reason to rebel from such.
