Why is it so difficult for progressive, intellectual elites, mostly Democrats, to understand the travesty of the contemptuous belief in their own superior "thinking". They assume their supercilious intellect is best, for an only occasionally interested majority of the electorate. Why do they cavalierly dismiss the wishes of the majority of the electorate? It is arrogant for them to assume they are smarter, ergo, they should speak for all the people even if a majority of the country disagrees with them. Talking down to the majority of voters, belittling their intelligence and degree of interest smacks of conceit and brings to mind the "Let them eat cake" metaphor and mentality.

Notwithstanding the politically skewed and corrupt AP poll cited by Waynet, a number of legitimate polls have consistently indicated that the majority of voters do not want Obamacare. Perhaps because they know the liberals and democrats who support it are "redistributing the wealth" while taking away from hardworking Americans and adding "free" access to those who make a living gaming the system while creating a growing dependant entitlement class. The image of that woman who, while grinning ear to ear, praises the windfall "free" Obama money she is getting, comes to mind. To keep the record straight, I understand there are circumstances where assistance is warranted. Unfortunately, greed, political pandering, the exploitation and growing of the entitlement masses to broaden political bases have corrupted good intentions.

A classic example of great liberal elite and progressive thinking that brought us Obamacare is the accounting stunt the Democratic majority own. It takes $500 billion from Medicare thereby greatly reducing the benefits the elderly worked for and contributed to most of their lives. How can these "thinking" ethically challenged, robber baron members of Congress keep a straight face when they redistribute the $500 billion they just pilfered from the elderly who need it most and use it to shore up Medicaid while increasing the rolls and traditional Democratic power bases. It is a trillion dollar ponzi scheme given to us by liberal thinking elites who think the electorate is ignorant or not paying attention. It is a sell out of the elderly. Say it ain't so.
