"The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell first Published in 2000
It is an excellent book. He wrote another one called "Blink" which is also excellent.
In my opinion "The Tipping Point" describes perfectly the point we have reached in the development and decline of the United States.
In the 2008 and 2012 Presidential Election, President Barack Hussein Obama would have lost had it not been for the households earning LESS than $50,000 per year.
That's the 47-49% who pay no income taxes. It doesn't matter WHY they don't pay income taxes, they don't. And, they don't want that to change and will eagerly vote to protect their gimmies.
“The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
The "idea" is that without effort, now someone can vote themselves more benefits to be paid for endlessly (seemingly) by someone else. Absolving themselves of any personal responsibility.

“There are exceptional people out there who are capable of starting epidemics. All you have to do is find them.”

Adolph Hitler, Barack Hussein Obama, Joseph Stalin, Mao tse Tung.

“There is a simple way to package information that, under the right circumstances, can make it irresistible. All you have to do is find it.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
ObamaCare, class warfare and racism

“Economists often talk about the 80/20 Principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. In most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. Twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. Twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. When it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
Interestingly, Progressives make up 20% of voters.

Obviously Conservatives, although they out number Progressives 2 - 1, have not been nearly as organized as the Progressives.
Progressives care only about themselves and their comrades or those they consider inferior. They care no about what citizens are to do in the future.
