Thw democrats have done a good job of making many voters forget who they are in relationship to the government.

We are shareholders and consumers. We are not workers. As shareholders, we want to root out wasteful spending. As consumers, we should demand a quality product. Corporations are neither good nor evil. They are both, as is government The difference is, if I need gasoline but don't like Shell, Texaco is down the street. If I don't like AT&T, Verizon is right there.

The government has no competition, which means they should ensure that products and services are available, but not deliver them themselves. That is a monopoly, and is bad for consumers. While it is arguably good for shareholders, in THIS company, shareholders reap low costs, not increased profits. The consumers thus become shareholders.

They demand Mitt apologize for saying he likes to fire companies that don't deliver quality goods. They send hundreds of billions of OUR dollars overseas, and then chastise others for doing it with their OWN money.

Notice that I'm not talking about policy here. I understand that many good peoe support policies of the left more than policies if the right. What I don't understand is how people can be so easily manipulated into forgetting THEIR role in the government.

Many, many years of conditioning. That's how/why.
