In U.S., Fear of Big Government at Near-Record Level
Democrats lead increase in concerns about big government

by Elizabeth Mendes
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans' concerns about the threat of big government continue to dwarf those about big business and big labor, and by an even larger margin now than in March 2009. The 64% of Americans who say big government will be the biggest threat to the country is just one percentage point shy of the record high, while the 26% who say big business is down from the 32% recorded during the recession. Relatively few name big labor as the greatest threat.

Bottom Line
Americans' concerns about the threat of big government are near record-high levels. The Occupy Wall Street movement, focused on "fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations," has drawn much attention and a large following. Still, the majority of Americans do not view big business as the greatest threat to the country when asked to choose among big business, big government, and big labor. In fact, Americans' concerns about big business have declined significantly since 2009.

Additionally, while Occupy Wall Street isn't necessarily affiliated with a particular party, its anti-big business message may not be resonating with majorities in any party. Republicans, independents, and now close to half of Democrats are more concerned about the threat of big government than that coming from big business.

If they phrased it big PUBLIC SECTOR labor, it would have been in the 60% range just like the big government results.

There is Cicero... a drug deal gone bad... a big mean nasty drug dealer with his Glock pushed up Cicero's nose... finger
on the trigger...
Up walks  a Public Sector Unionized police man, ready to save Cicero from a certain fate...

Cic of course, declines the invitation to save his life because... CIC HAS HIS PRIDE.
He don't need no 'stinkin public sector unionized policeman'.

BANG!... BANG!

Gee, not until I read the last sentence, I thought it was the police officer with his gun pressed against my nose...

Hey, if drugs were decriminalized there wouldn't be drug deals going bad, and a LOT less unionized police to chase them around, and a LOT less unionized corrections officer to lock them up.  But, as we know, we must have all these laws in order to justify all the government to protect me from the drug dealer that only exists because it is illegal.
