Disconnect

There is a disconnect between the mood of the voters in the US and reality. It is not surprising that the average taxpayer, frightened by high unemployment,and by the apparent incapacity of either party to master the crisis , is rebelling. The Tea party, egged on by populist puppet masters chez Murdoch, wishes to go back to simpler times, the late 18th century, where the Founding Fathers wrote simple Constitutions and things were easier to understand. The complexity of today's world is too frightening to contemplate. In 1789, it took news 2 weeks to go from Philadelphia to Washington. 80% of the population could not read nor write, and women, slaves, and non property owners could not vote. This notwithstanding, the populace hankers for these good old days, were most of them would have been too hungry and tired to even think about politics.
The complexity of today's world finances totally escapes them. Needless to say the bankers who brought us the Great Recession are busy encouraging this popular turmoil, which brought the US a new Republican majority. This is an insurance contract against any type of inquiry or even less, retribution for their misdeeds. The real winners of these mid-term elections are the members of the finance establishment powerfully aided by their media branch, Fuax News. It is not really a Tea Party but rather a Kool AId party.
