Oh, I agree with you wholeheartedly that both sides have their share of liars. And the fact that they LIKE the size of government because it allows them to line their pockets, just like all those special-interest groups do.
The thing is, unlike here in Europe, where we all grumble about the waste of the European Parliament, on how our elected leaders are selling our freedoms and wealth off just so they can get that seat on the board or get re-elected, the people of the United States can do something about it.
The current run of anti-gun laws is the focal point. Unlike the US we've been disarmed and all we can do is grumble but keep on paying, giving our hard-earned cash to those holding up their hands and demanding their 'fair share'. In the US, however, people are fighting back. Companies are fighting back. They vote with their pocketbooks. For instance, MagPul has announced that it will leave the state it's in if the anti-gun bill the state government is drafting gets made into law. It will take 600 jobs plus eightyfive million dollars worth of tax revenue with it. Other companies have stated they won't be selling their products to New York law enforcement since they won't be able to sell them to the lawful citizens.
Boehner seems to be gathering a group of congressmen and representatives behind a bill that will stop all payments to congress if they don't actually start working on the economic problems the country has. States are reasserting their independence, something they had given away for decades. Local law enforcement is plainly stating its opposition towards Federal Edicts.
I know big business is in bed with both sides, paying good money to have it their way but when the people themselves start to say "Enough" in the USA? Things will be happening. I can't say which way it will change but I can say that it will happen. And I hope it won't but I think it will be a second revolution, just as big and bad as the first one. The lines are being drawn. The government is using their media arm like a club. Watching MSNBC is like watching scenes from the movie 'V'. The US government has become that totalitarian machine.
