There's a revolution coming

Imagine a happy scenario where only people who pay tax were allowed to vote or where people who get state grants were not allowed to vote - Would the ANC then still have a majority ?  

What IS actually going to happen is that the government will be bankrupt soon - Intelligent people who have the potential to earn well are taxed to such an extent that they prefer to immigrate to where they can enjoy the fruits of their own labour – Many big companies have already either closed shop or taken their business elsewhere - China is moving away from massive industrialization and won't be buying our raw materials for their factories anymore (fact) - The government's dicey investments have lost billions - We have tremendous debts to repay - Whatever might have been left in the kitty has already disappeared due to corruption.

 Soon the government will not be able to continue paying all these grants for breeding to those who should not breed as they will have nothing to pay with - Then the hungry masses will revolt and there will be bloodshed - Not blacks against whites but the have-nots against the haves.

 The ANC's unofficial policy of grants for votes will be their downfall - Sadly many who saw where this madness was leading and are not to blame for it - (like most users of this forum) – will be caught up in the avalanche and might pay the ultimate price – Those who are to blame would have flown off by then with their wives, children and cronies to wherever they have millions stashed away for this exact purpose.   (Oh, perhaps they did see it coming.)
