uh... we have a new anything poll from uh... pew research center of date found out that
and nearly eight and ten americans say they don't
the federal government
and so now could republicans are celebrating their selected album
terms of the government's socks right
popped up
no couple things here
number one
i see this poll anatolia surprised
because
all there's ever been is an argument against government
for almost as long as i've been alive in this country
republicans the conservatives always the government's works is the worst the worst of the ways you
can do anything right
and democrats say i think basically that
when the government democrats ever defended them
they're scared of their own shadows so that they had me always never make that case
now what's the reality government good government bad government should do everything government
should do nothing don't
w rediculous it's not a black and white issue
should government be in that
business uh... producing sneakers of course not
but should the government the in the business of protecting us
we generally think so yes fire department police department
uh... it making sure that we have
safe food
making sure that our planes don't crash in midair so that we ever
government office that make sure that the
flights or scheduled so they don't collide with one another
mean these are
so to say the government is batting can't do
anything right
is stupid
and besides which you know there have regrets
it you know that they want to govern in your bedroom right the conservatives
so the government can do anything like that subject your sex life
uh... that makes sense
a little of that
for the war is over in so that we can do anything right except invade a country occupied
and free democracy joint
which is probably the hardest thing you could possibly do
there are used to make absolutely no sense i was so maddening is that the democrats are
so afraid of saying hey you know what
the government can do something's right let the social security and medicare their enormously
popular the government programs and they provide a little bit about social safety net
uh... what the government usually does well is our safety and security now
we can have arguments about where
that make sense of where does it for example
i think
date you know our lives are on the line and health care
and so if the government offered an option where we could buy in and we would see if
we know that they're not going to kick us out
if we have a condition either pre-existing condition are we devolve one
well-run government insurance not government doctors not government hospitals
but government insurance
i think that would give us some peace of mind and i would trust the government to do that
okay
but you have a debate about that but don't tell me that art paper i don't trust anything
the government does
bug that one for smaller example the post office everybody loves that
you know today
golf on the post office
but that the level of male anywhere in the country
for forty four cents in on all over the same mail
any use ups or fedex it's about approximately ten dollars
ever take fifty cents
for uh... on either side of that okay
so he made the government alright only sent your mail throughout ups and fedex that so
is a role for ups and fedex absolutely
has a role for the post office i think
as michigan's for example in private companies ups at that if they don't make money sending
uh... packages to rule area so they don't even cover rulers
but as the government yet the cover everybody in the country so that's why you need a post
office
so these nonsensical arguments about the copy
homeworks
listen or anarchist
besides which they don't even believe
that's point number one point at which you why am people more disgruntled today about
their government
that other dates i mean
we've had you know ups and downs but this is one of the significant downs in our history
as far as
how dissatisfied govern people are with a was because we have the general sense that
i can population those
that our government doesn't work for us that they work for a bit lobbyist too bad
and that perception is
completely
supple
it you know if you could do it by the democrats know that part of the lobbyists jelly speed
other republicans even more so
absolutely
and if you look at the numbers actually from this simple
but one thing that uh... america's distrust more than democrats
or the republicans
who writing even lower point uh...
expand more
and how much people distrust republican party
so their problems well the kind of things down so they like giddy about this poll but
if they look at their own numbers its disastrous
because we get a general sense that they're all wholly owned
subsidiary of corporate america's love the richest people in the country
assesses acted
for the democrats are not a wholly owned subsidiary
they're mostly own subsidiary
were you wire we anger with the government because it's not our government anymore
so that it doesn't mean we should get totally discouraging give up now it means that we
should fight back
and that we should get campaign finance reform so that are collected representatives
represent aunts
and not the people that they take the money from
which is the lobbyists
and to some of the again some of the richest people in the country i don't say that dismissing
leo because i want class warfare about the rich now
so for example the walton family
they just they spent millions upon millions of dollars
on different
uh... lobbying fronts uh... giving directly to at representatives and senators
is there one or more they stay in packs
because that saves them billions of dollars from their perspective it makes sense from
our perspective it doesn't make any sense to give them those kind of deals
so should there be a mistake i say they yes
you know what it would have a debate about where it should be
but the people who should decide that is the whole american people
and not just the walton family who owns wal-mart
and that's why we're dissatisfied with our government is
we don't think those senators and representatives are actually listen to us
we may be listening to all of them again but if i get there paychecks from
it makes sense
uh... so we got a fight back an idea that the government can't do anything
when we got a fight back
so that we can fix this government that we have
