Big Brother As Big Mother

This graphic stunned me … from the Fox New Opionion Dynamics Poll. Read more. Most Americans think most Americans mostly depend too much on government. But most people think government mostly should do most things for them …

My favorite … “It’s the government’s job to make sure all Ameicans have food, housing (if you can’t addord it or I guess if you flipped and got caught too) and a job”.

Now I understand that even libertarian “lite” ideas scare and shock many people so I assume I will face much criticism for saying that it is not the government’s job to provide food or housing or jobs for its people. It’s umm, well, let’s make it a poll, shall we? And let’s see how much you have learned by listening to the show.

The poll’s on the right … Whose responsibility is it to provide food and jobs and housing?

The Government, Partially the Government, Business, the Individual, or all of the above. By the way … there is only one correct answer if you are wondering.

And here’s a video to chew on while you are pondering the question. Mort Kondrake thinks this kind of thought will backfire on Democrats. I am not so sure but I can dream can’t I?

    The poll question is, as they say, a no brainer.  However, after I entered my answer I knew that most people here will answer the same way.  Most who are here are trying to learn what we can do to shift this amazing trend toward government dependency.  Who are these people who answered this Fox News Opinion Dynamics poll?  Who are these people who voted for Barack Obama?  Who are these people who want the government to take care of them?  Is this really the majority of our population?   This is not only scary, but it is sad.

    I believe the correct spelling is "mutha…"  😉

    Seriously, I am surprised the socialist Democrats scored as high as they did!
