Wow, the people in the most economic need are doing the worst in a bad recession.

Isn't that a "No **** sherlock" moment?

Obviously what they should have done is vote for Romeny who made the comments that he didn't represent the 47% of the people (the ones using assistance), and Ryans budget that would have completed elimiated help for those who needed it most. Obviously the ones that voted for Obama were the smart ones because they knew how shafted they would get if Romney won.

It's like being a patient in a hospital with a team (Obama) that's trying things to make the patient (people in economic distress) better. Sometimes it turns out to be a good idea, sometimes a bad idea. The alternative team (Romney) wants to throw these people into the street and wash their hands of them to help patients that don't need as much help.

That doesn't make sense.

So, they should vote for the person whose policies keep them on assistance and out of a good job so they can remain the lowest class?

Well, actually I guess they would.

I can see a ballot in front of them when they are at the union meeting to vote on what they want to do in terms of their employer, Widgets Inc.:

John Doe is the millionaire who owns Widgets Inc. He lives in a mansion and drives really expensive cars and takes extremely nice vacations. Widgets Inc. employees 973 employees. 724 of those employees work in the shop and are part of our wonderful union. The shop pay averages $23.75 per hour, not including benefits. Please circle the choice on your vote in regards to the future of the company.
1. Widgets Inc. continues to operate as it does today.
2. Widgets Inc. is closed down and has it's assets liquidated and dispersed to the workers. We feel that each worker will be issue a check for approximate $26,233.18.

My guess is that there would be a whole bunch of Democrat supporters voting for option 2. Sure, they'd eventually go through that money and start trying to figure out how to get another job, but they can worry about that when the money runs out.

I spend much more money than I bring in. I woke up this morning broke. I wonder if there is a connection. No, it's just like the sun coming up.

Sure..all the people that were going to get "saved by the government" if they just voted for the person with the promises.
Maybe they'll wake up by 2016 but I doubt it.

Well, this settles it. If his policies benefit the rich to the detriment of everyone else, Obama is the worst socialist ever.

What takes years to get into, takes a few years to get out of.

Recessions aren't declared over and everything instantly recovers.
