The problem is that the corporate media has pretty much got them thinking that tax-cuts for the rich will feed their families. (WTF?!!)
This is a very important interview that pretty much sums up what is happening in our country and the people who call themselves "Liberal". The very idea of a right-wing press complaining about the "liberal media" is a complete absurdity and there are very few exceptions.
He does not say it directly, but we are really in a condition of Neo-Fascism. (See a definition of "fascism at the bottom of this blog.)
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
Oppressive, dictatorial control.
Norman Mailer complained a couple decades ago about "nascent Fascism," and he was right, only now it is reborn, a veritable Renaissance of fascism mixed with mass stupidity.
Fascism, after all, is a ruling system wherein the governmental, military, and corporate forces are merged so closely that it is difficult to tell where one leaves of and the other begins. How can we expect, for example, the media, owned by the corporate powers, to criticize the government, owned by the corporate powers? Or how expect the government to regulate the use of public airwaves for the "good of the people" when the government is owned by the same people who own the broadcast stations?
Now, why is there then so much criticism of Obama when corporate Amerika has benefited so much from him? Well, he has served his purpose and is being encouraged to be even more servile.
For example, are we really expected to believe that 95% of voters are in favor of massive tax cuts for people who make, individually, over a quarter of a million dollars? Well, the answer is "Yes, you bloody well believe it or 'steps will be taken'". After all, whose side do you think the major media is on?

Chris Hedges: Obama is a "Poster Child for the Death of the Liberal Class" (Well Duh???)
The compromise tax-cut deal that President Obama signed into law in December has angered many of his supporters. In his new book, Death of the Liberal Class, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Chris Hedges argues that the failure of President Obama to represent the interests of his supporters is just another example of a quickly dying liberal class. In the book, Hedges explains how the five pillars of the liberal classthe press, universities, unions, liberal churches and the Democratic Partyhave become corrupt.
