'Is it going to take fifty years today to erase the curse of Gimme from this country?" It might. I've commented a number of times it is an 80 - 120 year cycle, time enough for a complete group of generations to die-off , taking the hard-earned experience with them.

I was taught about 'haves and have-nots' many decades ago. The Haves want to keep and add more, the Have-nots want what the Haves have.

'Trump is attacking this paradigm at his risk as they are 49%, and they are going to raise hell as the reforms bite.' I'm not sure about 49%, I'd go with a rough 30% at each end of the spectrum, with the remaining 30% either swayable, gullible, or clueless. Regardless (the %'s are guesstimates), the raise hell part is just beginning.
