1 in 6 Americans live in poverty

According to Trends Research Institute, soon there won’t be any need for tax cuts if situation stays like this, as people themselves will stop paying taxes. http://www.trendsresearch.com/predictions/tax-protests.pdf Let’s just assume there are Tax revolts in US in future, do you think a “shadow economy” or “cash economy” (like that in India and China) can thrive there too?

if there is a revolt, it wont be over taxes. once people finally complete the reagan revolution and succeed in getting government out of their lives and see the attendant reductions in standard of living/loss of boogeyman , then the pitchforks will come out and the class war will begin. one side has lots of money, the other has numbers.

Indians despise Chinese more than Pakistanis, because China attacked India when Indians considered China a very close friend. India Vs Pakistan is a political conflict and conspirators like China are fueling that conflict - that’s what majority of Indians think.
