Many Americans were shocked into political activism by the
Great Recession, where the average household lost 3.2% of its income.
Since the
Great Recession ended, during the so-called Recovery, the average household has
lost an additional 6.7%.
Are we simply scared into submission?
Are we crying
out to the government to fix things, because we are deeply terrified that
nobody else will?
Is that why so many people believe that government force is
more likely to boost our economy than free enterprise?
The amazing question remains: Given all of history, how can
anyone take the Big Government side of the current great debate?
