I find this phenomenon amusing.
Traditionally, our govt is supposed to be the "referee", the playground monitor.
Now, the very entities that CHOOSE who we get to vote for have managed to convince the people that the govt THEY SELECTED is our enemy.
Which is EXACTLY what I would do if I didn't like being "refereed" and had the money to bring it about.
If money doesn't like the way the govt behaves, why don't they pick better people for us to vote for?
Because they want us mad at the govt, not them.
Could you imagine the change that would be possible if the TP and OWS realized they were both angry about the same thing?
