Americans have been trained over the last few decades to expect so little from govt, propagandized to believe govt actually helping them is a bad thing. It’s a tragic surrender to corporate control & a betrayal of the ideal of govt “of the people, by the people & for the people.”

Thank Reagan, Norquist, the Olin Foundation, ALEC and the gang that wants to strangle our government (and way of life) in the bathtub.

Given the way the government handled stimulus dispersement, even when they try to do something slightly pro-citizen, they bungle it. We need a complete overhaul

We need a real national conversation about what the function of government is. Cause our government is hanging us out to dry right now.

Theory > govt “of the people, by the people & for the people.”

Government is suppose to protect the people from repressive oligarchs. That is why we created the Sherman anti-trust act. Today, government taxes the people and gives our money to the rich. This is what drives our massive financial inequality; greed and corruption.

Men made up all religions to oppress, control, exploit and profit from the female body and the female reproductive system. No religion is worthy of women of the real God, the God of our Holy and Whole Relationship. "never having sinned".

Not “trained”... More like brainwashed
Overwhelmingly the government doesn't help us. Regulatory capture allows large corporations to kill small businesses with smothering regulations. Feds spent $7 trillion on two endless and pointless wars.
