By almost every conceivable measure, Americans are less positive and more critical of their government these days. There is a perfect storm of conditions associated with distrust of government, a dismal economy, an unhappy public, and epic discontent with Congress and elected officials...Record discontent with Congress, dim views of elected officials generally have poisoned the well for trust in the federal government. Public opinion about elected officials in Washington is relentlessly negative.

Letter writing campaigns and protests fall on deaf ears in Washington. The Amercain people have'nt been a concern of there's in many years.
I campaigned against Obama the last time but this time I'll campaign for him. It's not the officials I'm mad at. It's the people of the United States for not studying their candidates.

No, this is the WSJ, the WSJ is a entity owned by Rupert Murdoch...the same guy whom runs Fox News, and like every other hyper-conservative outlet out there.
Nothing like having an Australian corporatist telling you how to think. Yay America, brought to you by.......
and of course corporate america wants less government...the damned government keeps regulating them and exposing their scams and frauds. Poor wall street...poor milti-billion dollar corporate entities that suck the soul and money out of a capitalist society. Ya, let me go fight the government as a Murdoch zombie soldier.

Nearly one out of three Americans view the US government as a "major threat" to their freedoms, and four out of five say they don't trust Washington to solve their problems, according to a new poll out Monday.
Just 19 percent say they are "basically content" with the federal government, against 56 percent who say they are "frustrated" and 21 percent who describe themselves as "angry," the Pew Research Center survey found.
