I don't know where it started. I blame our failed education system. It produced parents who can't make change at McDonalds. We have two generations of people who have lived off their parents, and as adults think the government is there to take care of them. Many dictators start off as feelgood good ideas, like Hitler and Mussolini. The people were desperate for help and looked for anyone who said they would give it to them. I believe that is what we are seeing today, people voting for their politician based upon what he promises. My current point I try to get anyone interested in, is to take a brief moment and compare what Obama says and what he does. How many speeches about banks and wallstreet has Obama made, attacking them, and making his voters feel good? Yet you look around, Geitner from Goldman Sachs and the IMF, and now Lew (if approved) is from a hedge fund at Citibank who profited from the mortgage crisis, are your Secretary of Treasury. It's like abused wives or girlfriends returning to their abusive men. Is it ignorance, threats, or what that keeps people supporting Obama after watching years of him selling people out to advance his career?
