Started off as a Conservative because my family had a lot of money -- at least for where I live -- which even though for most of my life I thought I would inherit a bit of it; however, that didn't pan out after about 25 years of being led to believe it would. When that didn't pan out and some of the schemes that I came up with to try to live on the same level that I had earlier in my life didn't work out so well either, I had to get jobs where I had to work my way up from the bottom.
And, I discovered that trying to work one's way up from the bottom is tainted with quite a bit of favoritism in the work place determining who moves up the ladder the quickest and that with the current minimum wage if you're on the bottom and your bosses don't have any intentions of moving you up very quickly, then you're doomed to stay there.
So I will be voting for Obama again over the religious cult member; however, increasing the minimum wage to a living wage for all Americans that work 40 hours a week so that they would be payed $17,500 if their bosses are going to pay for them to have a good insurance policy or $22,500 if one's bosses aren't going to pay for their insurance plan would work about as well as some of the plans Obama should have shoved through when he had a chance and be a nice place to start.
