dana?, it's difficult to love government and to really have that bff relationship with it when they don't listen to you. we had the american populace overwhelmingly disapproved of the health care law and that went ahead anyway. they were going to deem it to pass. and the balance, a bipartisan effort. cnn's own poll showed how many republicans and democrats came together to night and it was killed in the senate. if government would actually listen to the people they might like it more. that's just -- >> i would like it more, if it listened to me. >> there we go. roland -- buzzed, if necessary. pete, take it away. >> ah, what will it take for people to trust government? maybe hell could freeze over, pigs could fly. by dana's argument, then all americans, if we care about poll, all 29 polls i just read all things, taxes should be raised on the wealthiest. a lot of people understand government doesn't work for the people. i agree with dana on that point. i think it works for are the corporation
