Agreed. This topic is like ppl who worry about Illuminati... So what if its true? What are YOU prepared to do about it? Tear down the current system & incite anarchy? Good luck. The vast majority are to pacified to agree with that at all.
Worrying about this stuff brings no solace. And whoever said "$40k is stable income" is on some bullshit. That ain't no real money. What I try to do instead of fighting the current system is learn its rules to get ahead & provide a happier life for my small circle of influence. You gonna give yourself a heart attack worrying about this pointless shit.
Also, even though the govt places these expectations on its citizens, it provides a fair amount back in exchange. Roads & infrastructure, military defense, housing assistance, healthcare (albeit subpar) & more...

Agreed. But I think we can all agree, things could be far worse. Imagine living in any govt south of us or in Africa... Our politicians haven't parsed us off enough yet to overthrow anything.
