Voters? Too many are just plain stupid. (Our education system is just a plain FAILURE.) But that's the way the pols like it -- makes the sheeple so easy to manipulate. Death Panels!! Don't let government take over my Medicare!

Would be funny if not so tragic.

Nearly all Americans envision themselves to be among the wealthiest ten percent of the American population, or even higher.

The mere thought of providing air for everyone in America to breath is horrifyingly socialist.

They're certain providing air to all will inevitably restrict their own freedom to breath.

The degree to which most Americans vote against their own self-interest is a curiosity which seems unequaled anywhere else in the world.
