Government Isn’t Listening and Media Doesn’t Care

to or about us, that is.

Why is it that you have to turn on a comedienne these days to hear advocacy for progressive values that the majority of Americans want.  As Maher says:

Cutting the Military Budget
Gun Control
Gay Marriage
Higher Taxes on the Rich
Universal Health Care
Legalizing Pot
Steep, Direct Taxing of Polluters.

These aren’t radical ideas.  The majority of Americans are either already for them or would be if they were properly argued and defended… Democrats are the new Republicans.

With all the brainwashing and bullshit that is spewed from the major media, it is amazing that most of us Americans support these things.  But if there is no one hearing the tree fall in the forest, is it really making a noise?
