**********, let me sum up politics in the United States for you.
The more an American pays in taxes, the greater the likelihood of him feeling he should have influence over how the government should operate. Call it Entitlement.
This American is prone to anger when government funds are used to raise the quality life for people who pay less taxes than him. Keep in mind, the rage is proportional to how much tax is paid.
Everything will be fine when he makes enough money to lobby that rage into submission.
Until then, everything is not fine.
Fortunately, the Internet now allows him to release his rage by assassinating the character of those politicians he disagrees with.
Unfortunately for him, as evidenced in the last 3 presidential elections, the politician on the receiving end of the most character assassination usually wins.
It's the reason why Kerry and Edwards were barely defeated even when Bush was so disliked. They stood for nothing.
It's the reason why McCain and Palin got their asses handed to them. Their entire campaign was nothing but character assassination.
It's the reason why Obama got relected. Romney and Ryan and the rest of the GOP served up nothing but visions of Armageddon.
But the American never learns, always convinced that his rantings and ravings are changing minds instead of reinforcing them.
THE END
