Why vote for some rich A$hole that doesn't care about you?

Question

They don't care about you they have never cared about you. You work for them the minimum wage goes up $.75every 10 years while inflation rises 4%in the good years 12% this year. When was the last time you had a cost of living ajustment to offset the price gas and fuel? They deregulate every law that was designed to protect you from the real crooks (see Smoot Hawley act). I have been mugged once $80 but I couldnt tell you how much has been lost trust the bank, direct debit, insurance, lousy investments by 401 k managers and hidden taxes and fees. I am not afraid of crime I carry a gun but you can't fight city hall.

Neither of these guys is going to do anything for you because you are not in the club, you know the club of CEOs and Soveriegn Wealth fund Managers and politicians who get obscenely rich off the companies that hire you and erode your rights as a consumer and employee and then tell you that they will regulate themselves and their industries now that they are in charge and save you from the last guy, remember Bush was going to save us from CLinton he from Bush, Reagan was going to save us from Carter and on and on. Wake up!

Answer 1

THERE ARE NICE RICH FOLKS TOO.BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

Answer 2

I like this post. It is good to see somebody else is on the same page as me. They are all corrupt. The only hope of change there is is to revolt against the tyranny of a corrupt system. The two things that have me thinking McCain, if I even waste my time to go and vote, is he isn't as socialist as Obama and isn't as much of a liar as Obama.  

Answer 3

how right you are.

Answer 4

Name me a poor candidate to ever win the presidency in the last hundred years.

News flash.  They are all rich.

Answer 5

Well yeah.  The thing about America is that there are still a lot of naive ppl in this country.  Since the corruption and collusion of systems of government/business are not in the open like in many other countries.  In Russia, for example, ppl are what Americans would call very "pessimistic", but it is just bc they are realistic.  All the politicians are corrupt, police forces are corrupt, army is corrupt and all the organized crime runs on the FSB's (former KGB) say so.  People there know this.  In America it is less obvious, unless you pay attention.

Now another point is - you really don't want a poor person running the country.  History has seen many poor ppl getting to power, many of whom had the best of intentions, but the reality is most of them ran their countries into poverty and disarray.  Some of them get corrupt, others just can't handle the money and resources well.  A good rich candidate for president is someone who has already accomplished more than enough for himself, so he doesn't care about personal gain as much.  That is why I would favor someone like Bloomberg or Ramney over the 2 left over fools.  The bottom line is they know how to manage and they have plenty of money already.  Most electable candidates are corrupt, otherwise they couldn't get to where they are in most cases - it is just a matter of picking the lesser evil.  Stubborn idiots like Bush Jr. are the most dangerous of all, they don't have enough intelligence to understand what is going on and make dangerous moves.

Answer 6

Because no poor people are on the ballot.
