RESPONSE:

Who do you think ‘The Government’ is?  It’s YOU!

‘We The People’ have the responsibility to protect the powerless against the abuses of the powerful.

FOLLOW-UP:

Can you, John Q. Public, fight Goldman Sacks?  Can you build your own tunnel?  Can you cap credit card rates so they don’t go up to 30-40%.  Can you stop a power plant from polluting?  Can you protect food from having diseases?  Can you make Insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions?

Not ALL problems should be solved by Government, just the ones that are controlled by multi-millionaires, and protected by high-priced Corporate Lawyers, out to make a buck on the backs of the middle-class.

When you have a system that gives more power to the wealthy, the odds are stacked against the favor of working families.

‘We The People’ make the rules of the game for Corporations in this country, not the other way around.

UNCOVERS:

Democrats are for the working-class, and Republicans are for the powerful elite.

The often repeated ‘bigger Government’, or ‘more Government’, makes it sound like the bigger Government is, the worse it is.  The fact is, the bigger Government gets, the more it indicates how BAD the problems facing the powerless are.

Government should be as large as it needs to be in order to do the job our founders created it to do.

Average Americans don’t have millions of dollars of their own to pay for lawyers; they don’t have the power to make the rules of the game that these Corporations play by.

Government is us, and only the collective power of an active democracy can insure the safety and security of all Americans.

SIDE POINTS:

Distrust of Government really began it’s overdrive campaign after Reagan famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
