"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

This does bring up questions of a slippery slope of course. It also brings up the habit Joe the Senator has of letting things he himself thinks, believes, or knows. Like his "mark my words" thing.

There's every possibility that he knows that what The One and the rest of the Democrat party is promising can't be paid for by only "eating the rich". The line of demarcation is going to be lowered and lowered.

Mark my words.
