This is happening because the left thinking elite believe that all the people need them to manage their lives and their environment. The elites say that only they can understand the complexities of government, finance, and enviro-management. They say that conservatives are ignorant of the need to control the masses and to manage their addictive consumption. This is interesting.
We can review what the technocrats and bureaucrats did in the now imploded Soviet Union. You may not know, but they had some of the world's most intelligent scientists. Even today, they have millions of over-educated who can't find a job that allows them to employ their knowledge. But the political elites overpowered logical and political thinkers. That led to the demise of the Soviet Union.
Today we have similar elites in the left wing movement who say that they are smarter and know better than the stupid Soviets. Whom are they kidding? These guys can't balance their own check books much less manage my life and yours. And they say they have no moral or ethical grounding. They just make laws and enforce them without emotion or commitment. Say What?
So where are we heading in this economically and socially volatile environment? America is the leader of all of the rest of the world. Get used to it. We generate more than a third of the world's GDP and consume about 40% of the world's products with 5% of the population. So What? We pay for it. And we use less than a quarter of the world's energy to fuel our economy.
