Is it possible to survive the atomic war by living away from big cities? Will they bomb only big cities, or also small towns far away? Will the radiation spread to small towns, or will they be safe from radiation?
What a lot of people don't realize is a huge portion of the populace now works for the government or works for a company that is completely 100% of government contractor and they are going to vote against any outsider who will threaten their livelihood regardless of any other kind of political principle.
It's really a totally ignored driving force now but it's going to be the principal one in the future because the percentage of the population that works directly for or indirectly for the government has gotten probably larger than any solid hardcore liberal or conservative voting group.
This group will continue to vote to raise taxes on everyone else because they know it will directly increase their own government salaries and pensions. They will ignore all other considerations until they are somehow neutralized.
I remember a time when it was discussed that people who worked for the government should not have the right to vote because it was quite obvious they would be voting not for the good of the country but for their own personal interests as a government employee.
When Reagan famously fired all the air traffic controllers his justification was that it's very different when someone is out in the private sector and they are striking for their right to get up large portion of whatever pay is going on in the private sector but when you're working for the government you shouldn't have the same kind of rights to do that because the people you are extorting is not a group that is in the normal marketplace with market forces but you're actually extorting a fixed Monopoly.
