Like wynn said people are now afraid of the government, literally, its not supposed to be that way.
I'm sorry, but what exactly is it they're afraid of?
An income tax hike? That hasn't happened.
A single payer government run healthcare system? That didn't happen.
A government takeover of american industry? That didn't happen.
It seems like most are afraid because their talk radio gurus and viral emails tell them they should be - that somehow there's something inherently evil and unamerican about this president (no matter how much evidence exists to the contrary).
And fear is an emotion that can derail even generally sharp cookies like Wynn.
Take the stock market, for instance. Many investors have stayed out of the market due to their irrational fear of this president's "socialist agenda". Meanwhile the DJIA is up over 50% since Obama took office.
