Don't be smug.

Most people AREN'T entrepreneurs and have no wish to be. And that is just plain reality. Most people are security driven and saw Bush's Social Security proposals as adding to the insecurity of their lives. Particularly that well over half of the American workforce that has seen its socioeconomic security eroded by globalization.

There's nothing wrong with that kind of outlook, but it does represent an inherent danger to this country. In the early history of the United States it was generally accepted that only those who owned property were permitted to take part in the process of electing leaders. This was done precisely to avoid having the political process corrupted by people who are "security-driven" by nature, because these were typically the people in the Thirteen Colonies who were most likely to accept the idea of living under British rule.

Well yes, but that's because of perpetual lies from Democrats and the media.
