The ANTI FEDERAL GOVERNMENT tirade comes from either people who are uninformed or from Corporate think tanks who strive to destroy all regulatory agencies that don;t allow them them to poison America with impunity. After 10 years of shrinking and dumbing down agencies with political appointees the corporations have helped Wall St. degulations, enough to poison the financial world, and the EPA to turn its head when it comes to fracking. Katrina showed how FEMA was hobbled in as little as 4 years.

What government does not do is toot thier own horn. The Computer was an invention by government research grants that gave away its invention to the world. Most of the life saving drugs for diseases come from the NIH but if you watch the discovery channel it would seem like the March of DImes accomplished all this discoveries. Under Republican government the corporate control of Congress and its media channel has enabled business to have historic highest profits ever recorded. Perhaps you did not know this since trickle down be damned is what is happening.

The social safety net is what prevents the 39% of the population from abject starvation. There are over 15 million food stamp folks out here.
There are enough armed militia/insurrection groups here to do great harm to the country. Without thier government checks they would quickly bite the hand that fed them. http://www.knobcreekrange.com/   has more than small arms to try.

I do worry that we are just one assisination or several doemstic terrorist attacks away from anarchy. The wealthy do think about this and have put many police state tactics and weaponry programs on the front burner to defend themselves. The super wealthy just fly to France.

Government is us only when we devote and risk our lives to its life saving possibilities.

The attack rhetoric from the rich comes out a year ahead of the emerging outrage and the response from the left is always defensive and a day late. For example the right has been yelling CLASS WARFARE !!! for a couple years now.   HELP THE WEALTH HAS BEEN REDISTRIBUTED   !!!!    by who?   Our eyes say its the rich who are guilty of both

but the words oft repeated say its the poor, the left, the socialists, its OBAMA.

If you dare believe your eyes it ain't us.

but it should be.


The wealth distribution goes beyond what Rome did. It is reminiscent of certain Monarchies.


Class war? Is there any hope that COngress will change enough to wage the war with new policy instead of blow back and bullets?

I hope so.
