Anyway, under the Republicans, the rich always get richer while the poor get poorer. The best example, under Bush and his oil family friends and cronies gasoline is now over $3.00 a gallon if you live in an area of the US that has no jobs and you have to drive 60 miles round trip to work each day while only making slightly above minimum wage, all of the money that you make from your work goes into your daily transportation. When Bill Clinton was President, gasoline was only about a dollar a gallon, and middle income families were much better off in comparison to the rich, and those are facts.
Oh yes, one more thing, mrstickball, I looked at those lists you posted of why you don't want to vote for Obama, and one thing that I think I can read about your character from those lists is that it seems as if faith and quite possibly being a person of Christian faith is a major reason that you don't want to vote for Obama. All I really have to add to that is that Jesus and Jehoavah are both mythical beings. There is no validity for creationism and no moral reason to be opposed to abortion or stem cell research. And if there was any kind of intelligent design involved in the creation of the world now it was done by grey cow molesting, cornograph drawning, anal probing aliens from the planet Nibiru and not yahweh or Yoda or whatever that diety's name is supposed to be. |
Ok, you are clearly not speaking from experience. I actually worked a manufacturing job for two years, and now I am in a much higher paying job that involves being in charge of a division of a small business. While I worked hard physically in the manufacturing job, the better paying job involves much longer hours, TONS more stress due to a high level of responsibility (manufacturing was not high stress, just tiring), and I would honestly say I work much harder than I did in manufactuing, just in a different way. The vast majority of Rich people put in significantly more than a 40 hour workweek and have far more responsibility than those at the bottom. I actually know a few millionaires personally, and they are the most down to earth, hard working people I've ever met, and most of them started out poor. They've WORKED there way up, and they (for the most part) work way harder than you could possibly understand.
But thanks for speaking out of ignorance.
