Americans’ fear of big government - partly fueled by a sharp spike among Democrats since President Barack Obama took office - almost reached a record high this year and is far greater than people’s concerns about big business and big labor, a new Gallup poll Monday shows.
An overwhelming 64 percent of people surveyed said big government was the biggest threat to the country, compared to just 26 percent who said big business is their gravest concern and 8 percent who picked big labor.

Report: "Poll: Little love for big gov - 64% of Americans fear big government"
Reponse: If the poll reflects reality I say GOOD! The people should be terrified of the number of vermin they allow to hold office elected or appointed. Such foulness should be kept to the smallest amount possible.

Get used to it America. You voted a socialist in last time and on the virge of nominating a progressive republican to go against said socialist.

How can it reflect reality?
48% of HOUSEHOLDS have someone getting a check from the federal government!
Yup, they fear it, until someone starts to actually make it smaller.

You said: "Yup, they fear it, until someone starts to actually make it smaller."
Response: You are right.
Comment: We have reached that state that the Roman historian Livy claimed his people had reached at the time he wrote; that they could no longer tolerate their vices and likewise could not endure any curative steps.
