What Does the American Voter Want?

September 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

“Government is the problem” so it is said. Now, the same people are saying government is the “answer.” What gives? Our political life is controlled by children. Spoiled children who think the cause of their angst is a parental figure (government) and at the same time think the parental figure (government) can and should save them from their angst. Republicans and Democrats are the same. They want the same thing, the pleasure of children. For a child, pleasure comes from someone big. For the child the solution comes from someone big.We are a nation of victims.
