Quote from Tigerjaw:
Isn't the level of stupidity of the average voter amazing ? I visited the old USSR before it fell apart. I can remember how the stores had practically nothing to buy. I remember how the Soviet citizens were very cautious about saying anything anti-govt that might be overheard. Nothing worked worth a damned. Politicians (lawyer/liars/bull shit artists in the obfuscation, extortion, & protection racket) and bureaucrats (paper pushers & 'No !' sayers) are only interested in their survival in the system, not in producing something that works. They aren't entrepreneurs, inventors, and innovators & are incapable these functions even if they wanted to carry them out.) - - Now the morons in this country want to turn their lives and futures to "The Government" - - everything from their healthcare, to jobs, to retirement. When people are clueless about the gifts handed to them from past generations (Democracy & at least a little bit of 'free enterprise'), they throw them away. I doubt that many voters, especially the young airheads could even tell you what the USSR was or what conditions were like there. Yes, these Americans Are that ignorant. They can tell you all about the latest basketball game or t.v. celebrity though.- - These fools, and 'true believers' argue Dems vs Reps when they don't even see that they are different sides of the same coin. Theyve been screwed over by both sides for decades. The pace of that screwing will increase in the future, and the morons will continue to be clueless - - - they'll even vote for it.
