The people have spoken, and we want our freedom back!!
in three months our new liberal leadership has tightened government control over the marketplace and the bond between business and government has been more firmly cemented than at any time in our history. the people themselves have been taken out of the loop. we have been convinced of the fable of the evils of big business, those evils were always a matter of bureaucratic corruption, and have allowed government free reign over the marketplace. the seeds of wealth redistribution have sprouted, well fertilized by the bullshit of socialistic pundits, and the wealth you may accumulate is now in danger of becoming the property of the state.

the people have been duped and they are just too lazy to do a damn thing about it. we have been convinced that we have no right to the better things in life while others live in poverty and that our government has the right to quash the individual in favor of the greater good. for all you one trick ponies out there, who see only the end of our wars as their goal, try looking a bit further. these three months have shown us what this administration finds most important, reinforcing government control over their buddies in business. we have been shown that it was always bureaucratic bungling and "progressive" policies that led business into their greatest fiascoes and that the hand of government has always been hiding within their corporate puppets.
