It's the natural consequence of big gov't. It creates parasites.
There are gov't worker parasites, crony capitalist parasites, and welfare parasites. They all feed off of the gov't. Add to that individual causes which only a big gov't can mandate, like the homosexual agenda, and you've obtained a majority vote which consists of counting nothing but the parasites.
And the so called republican party is equally responsible for creating the size of this gov't.
It's now almost too large to overcome. And since the gov't is still growing, in a short period of time, there will no longer be any real chance that the makers will have a chance in a presidential election.
