Yes they do go to the DMV and yes they do go to the Post Office.
They are very accustomed to dealing with government agencies at all levels. They wait in lines, they struggle with bureacracy’s demands, they behold the crumbs when they do get anything, while behind the counters and desks are people who make good salaries and have fine benefits and have “made it in America”.
The promises, the words from politicians’ mouths, is what they feed on, psychologically. They are not ever well off, therefore as the somewhat downtrodden they are ever vulnerable to that false rhetoric about laws that are going to “help”.
The people trapped in this system are still the system’s most gullible supporters.
Now we have run up against the Thatcher rule...the brick wall she spoke of. The problem with Socialism comes when you run out of other people’s money.
We’re there, in fact we’re PAST there and careening down into an abyss.
I know there’s a problem with this big government power grab, so it’s much more than “we’re broke”.
However, THEY don’t see that. They see nothing but never ending largesse that still doesn’t get them anywhere but trapped.
But the largesse has bankrupted us, just as Maggie said. And if they don’t understand about too much power that doesn’t work, and about being truly broke, then what we have to do is persuade as many as we can, and all those we can’t, we have to politically BEAT THEM LIKE A DRUM.
Spot on!!
But as we know, the liars will tell them the rich aren’t paying their fair share, that the Right is stonewalling, that the GOP is obstructing passage of their “rights” on the Hill and that the Tea Party is filled with racists.
Just as all “strongmen” dictatorial regimes, they blame someone else to keep the masses from seeing the truth and turning on them.
