You’re definitely justified in your concerns. Unfortunately - the VAST majority of Americans have very little understanding of economics. Americans have a very naive mentality that - “we’ll be ok - the federal government would never allow us to suffer like that again”
That there is the problem.
Maybe it's because at the core I am a libertarian and believe firmly that our government has become way too involved in our economy and know that these politicians serving as career-bureaucrats are merely on the payroll to further advance their own private agendas (involving keeping their family names in the annals of US politics).
I also despise how many Americans think that our Federal Government is somehow synonymous with the US economy, solely because the IRS was created as a vehicle to fund the expenses of our government.
This society is made up of highly obedient, yet mindless lemmings. If you're rich or poor, you don't ever worry about the IRS-Taxes-Government (because you keep them in your back-pocket and they instead pay you). If you're middle class, you get fucked up the ass by the IRS & the government and they don't even bother to spit around your anus.
