How do Americans allow this government to lie, cheat, and steal all that they please from us?

Answer 1

Because they let Republicans vote.

Answer 2

Because unfortunately most of them are doing the same thing.

Bush calls them his constituency, "the have and the have mores"!

When people make money, it is usually because someone far down the line busted his butt, while those above were not giving raises and taking away benefits, so they go have more,

When they are through with them, they throw them out like yesterday's news, and the Republicans, not all, but most, start blaming them, when they are what allows this corrupt system to run!

Unfortunately I think the person below is wrong. Most do cheat and Lie and steal.

They can't raise the minimum wage, which is poverty if you make those wages, but they take their raises and they don't need them! I could not in good conscience not pass a bill giving the poorest of the poor a few extra dollars, while they give to major tax cuts to the rich!! Nor once, but twice, and the idiots want to do it again.

They haven't raised minimum wage, which is $5.15 an hour , for a decade!

Answer 3

examples please.

Or, I can say what you want me to say, "because the republicans!"

I ask you this; Do you think people in gov't positions are above temptations of others? SOME people lie, cheat, steal. Not everyone. The government in general does not do that. We have the best form of government in the world. The reason for that is that we control it. We can change it when we want, and if we need.

If you want to see a government lying, cheating, stealing, I suggest you look at the countries we have problems with. The previous government of Iraq, Iran, Mexico, N. Korea, etc....

Answer 4

The government is not the governing body, for one thing. Ever hear of the Trilateral commission, or Comission of Foreign Relations. They are make up rich, private citizens of various powerful nations. When they meet they come with ways to make themselves richer. They then manipulate the politicians who are also members into pushing these "ideas" into leglislation. They are secretly members of the gnostic sect calling themselves Illuminati, the illuminated ones. They are also, Freemasons (not a christian org. like it claims). Their ultimate goal is to bring the Antichrist to power, in the belief that they can manipulate him into doing their biding and giving them ultimate control of the world. They do not believe the Antichrist will be indwelt by the Devil, Lucifer. This will be their undoing.

Answer 5

Because Americans are scared into picking sides either Republican or Democrat. They are the same thing nothing changes because the same corporations put the same people into power. Vote third party and get involved in grass root politics. I recommend Libertarian if you are fiscally conservative Green if you are all out liberal. Stop exploiting third world countries and by your crap from mom and pop stores instead of Wal-Mart and Sony. Stop using your cars and use public transportation or car pool. If you select someone who says because of Bush or Republicans for the best answer then you are part of the problem picking sides of the same coin.

Answer 6

We don't because our government IS us. Your lies will not be believed. You have sided with our enemies.

Your behavior is seditious. You are spreading rumors that are helping our enemies. You've chosen your side.

Yes, you have free speech. That doesn't mean we can't answer you in kind or identify what kind of traitor you are.

It's time to verbally (only) thrash a few of the America-hating traitors who undermine our country. They've been doing it to us for a long time. Hopefully the government will start arresting the traitors that actually betray our country soon.

Answer 7

We have been lulled to sleep by TV, sound bites, and the greedy neo-cons who wield them . Nobody thinks for themself any more. No social dialog. Before TV we used to sit on our porches and visit with our neighbors every evening. Ideas were discussed in the community and we were informed. Now we stare into the box and get our thoughts plugged into our heads without consence. We accept terms like: Cut & Run, or Stay The Course to describe our choices without considering any other terms describing alternate perspectives.
Sadly, Apathy leads to intellectual entropy.

Answer 8

Because all the fundamentalist churches turn out all their people to vote, and the rest of the public would rather vote for American Idol

Answer 9

easy we have become so numb,so lazy,we expect someone else to do it for us.we believe what we are told even though deep down we know the truth. our government has turned to ad agencies and fear tactics, and we swallowed it like a hooker giving blow jobs. cuz we wanted to believe it instead of being unpatriotic. let someone else do it. last of all our press core has disappeared. they tell one story then it disappears the next day the press has add.

Answer 10

Apathy, complacency and ignorance.

Or! The people at the top are good Christians, just like us, so they're doing fine, they are just being smeared by bad people in the media.

Answer 11

We can't vote for the President. We vote for electorates that supposedly take our votes into consideration when they vote for the President. We have never or will ever personally vote for the President in our lives.
