Read 'em and weep, liberal socialists. Despite years of your haranguing that Business is eeeeevil, the vast majority of Americans believe that YOU are a bigger threat to the country than Big Business is.
And that percentage has been skyrocketing since Obama was elected. To the highest level ever recorded, in the 50-plus years Gallup has been asking the question.
72% of Americans say Big Government is more of a threat to the country, than either Business or Labor.
We had to pass your programs to find out what was in them, libbies. And now that we've passed them, and found out, you can see the clear reaction of normal Americans.
They don't want your government-uber-alles utopia. And they are rejecting it - and you - in record-breaking, landslide numbers.
See you in November.

Record High in U.S. Say Big Government Greatest Threat
Now 72% say it is greater threat than big business or big labor

PRINCETON, NJ -- Seventy-two percent of Americans say big government is a greater threat to the U.S. in the future than is big business or big labor, a record high in the nearly 50-year history of this question. The prior high for big government was 65% in 1999 and 2000. Big government has always topped big business and big labor, including in the initial asking in 1965, but just 35% named it at that time.
The latest update comes from a Dec. 5-8 poll. Gallup has documented a steady increase in concern about big government since 2009, rising from 55% in March 2009 to 64% in November 2011 and 72% today. This suggests that government policies specific to the period, such as the Affordable Care Act -- perhaps coupled with recent revelations of government spying tactics by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden -- may be factors.
Currently, 21% name big business as the greatest threat, while 5%, a record low, say big labor. The high point for big labor was 29% in 1965. No more than 11% of Americans have chosen big labor since 1995, clearly reflecting the decline of the labor movement in the United States in recent decades.
The historical high choosing big business, 38%, came in 2002, after a series of corporate scandals rocked major corporations including Enron and Tyco. Also at that time, Americans may have been less willing to choose government given the rally in support for government institutions and officials after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
