Topic: Harrison Bergeron

Harrison Smith discusses the growing momentum for a national tax strike in response to the Somali fraud scandal. He references Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron" to describe a dystopian drive for equality that brings society down to its lowest common denominator. Smith suggests that the global elite are engaged in a "controlled demolition" of civilization but are limited by the need to keep the American public "fat and happy" to prevent a total revolt.
