The greatest threat to the Conservative agenda is a knowledgable, well educated electorate. Consider this from The Huffington Post:
A recent paper by Cornell political scientist Suzanne Mettler surveyed how many recipients of government benefits don't really believe they have received any benefits. She found that over 44 percent of Social Security recipients say they "have not used a government social program." More than half of families receiving government-backed student loans said the same thing, as did 60 percent of those who get the home mortgage interest deduction, 43 percent of unemployment insurance beneficiaries, and almost 30 percent of recipients of Social Security Disability.
Surprised? You shouldn't be. The Republican attack on "big government socialist entitlements and secular public education" would get laughed off the ballot if not for the GOP/FuxNews flood of confusing lies and distortions reinforcing that kind of voter ignorance.

The Burden of Big Government Regulations
Republicans blame "the burden of big Government Regulations of Corporate America" for our sputtering economy and high unemployment rates. They whine and blubber that Daconian Democrat red tape is strangling the job-creators. They yammer about government regulations sucking up profits. They talk about Liberal "Socialist" policies squashing creativity, and sabotaging economic recovery. Since they're so anxious to talk about regulations, let's talk.
Let's talk about the poor, oppressed corporations, and Wall Street's anything-for-a-buck mindset. Let's talk about the fuck-the-public profits they've sucked out of sweatshops, salmonella, coal miner's scrip, adulterated food and drugs, overbilling, black lung and asbestosis, bribary of public officials, E. Coli, price fixing, lead-based paint, Fen-Phen Diet Pills, kickbacks, pollution, outsourcing, predatory lending and deceptive advertising.
The Republican myth of corporate self-regulation is shattered by the littered history of infamous corporate scandals, from the The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, to the Deregulated Savings and Loan Associations Crisis, the catrastrophic collapse of Enron, and of course the current economic rape of the middle class, the Financial and Industrial Barons disgraceful disregard for the welfare of the nation can not be left unchecked.
Agressive government regulation is the only defense against these sociopathic manufacturers, financial institutions, service providers, and retailers . They can whine and blubber, or they can own up, clean up their act and hope that, eventually, they merrit a measure of trust from the American people.
