Relax, your betters are in charge

Whenever I get worried about some problem we have, I'm reassured by the knowledge that our super-smart Eeelites in gummint and media are on the job, using the vast resources of the gummint and their astonishingly expensive Ivy League educations to carefully evaluate all the factors and make sound decisions to commit our resources to solve the problem.

See, ordinary people simply aren't smart enough--or well educated enough--to make smart decisions. That's why we need to always defer to our betters.

Yeah, right. If you believe any of that I've got a tax to disguise for ya.

And to neatly tie those points together, here's a clip of King Barack two years ago, touting the gummint's latest half-billion-dollar "investment" in yet another company trying to make solar cells. Notice how assured he sounds.

That company filed for bankruptcy last week.

Now I'll admit, it's hard to predict the future. Given enough time, lots of unexpected things happen that can make ideas that would have been good go bad. But to invest half a billion in a company that goes belly-up barely two years later seems...let's just say it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

But you citizens should keep listening to him, and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Oh yeah. Particularly when they tell you that the tax enacted to fund Obamacare isn't really a tax at all. It's just that stupid chief justice of the Supreme Court who thinks it's a tax, and what the hell does he know?
