| When citizens lose faith in government Posted by Michael E. Marotta on 8/06, 5:32am | ||
| From Reuters. Globally, the Tea Party, Arab Spring, protests in China, and even Putin's style may all underscore a new trend. The author of this Reuters blog, "Chrystia Freeland is the editor of Thomson Reuters Digital. Prior, she was U.S. managing editor of the Financial Times." "... the United States was populated by exiters and their descendants — immigrants who chose to leave home rather than reform it — and partly because for much of American history the frontier made it possible to choose exit without even leaving the country. ... The Tea Party’s engaged citizens aren’t so much trying to reform government as to get rid of it — the only possible version of exit when the frontier is gone and you already live in the best country on earth." | ||
