George Lakoff, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, recently stated that "the moral mission of government is simple: no one can earn a living in America or live an American life without protection and empowerment by the government."
Thirty-four percent (34%) of voters nationwide agree with Lakoff's assertion while 46% disagree in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Twenty percent (20%) are not sure.
Half (51%) of Democrats agree with the professor while Republicans and unaffiliated voters strongly disagree. Republicans reject Lakoff's statement by a 3-to-1 margin, unaffiliateds by a 2-to-1 margin.
With a 34% base, is it any wonder why Obama is elected and and feels empowered to act as what he is, THE MOST LEFTIST POLTICIAN THAT WAS IN THE US SENATE?
Worse, what on earth can possibly change that 34%'s minds?
That's the number of people who feel that the govt (us) OWES THEM, and that if they don't get it, something is wrong and needs to be changed.
ONE OF US IS IN THE WRONG NATION
