greater than 60%. Which may be true but it pisses me off that he is saying this. He also said he might become a Democrat next time so he can get a free ride and a free meal on election day.
What do I say to this guy. He has already announced that he is a 1%'er. He is a pompous ass. Now they are doing everything they can to try an make Obama's win seem not such a big thing.
And does anyone know what % of the population voted this year? Because this guy and another one are trying to say that Obama was voted in with less than 25% of the population which means that less than 50% must have voted.
What cry babies they are.

(4,475 posts)We make nearly three times that much money in a year. We voted on social issues (as did nearly every other Obama voter we know - nobody gives a rat's ass about free "stuff" in our social circle). These people saying that freeloaders gave Obama a 2nd term are seriously so full of shit. They have no idea what the voters out there were actually thinking.

(811 posts)Does he REALLY want to make <30k a year?
Well, no one else does, either. But sometimes that's all that some people can get because the "job creators" won't pay them what they're worth in order to make more $$$ themselves. So that they can sneer at those making less.

(12,769 posts)Obama's first administration but they got even greedier and wanted even more so they ran a jackass that wanted to completely decimate the rest of us. Hopefully, Obama can really make them pay for all of it this time around.

Now, if he tried to cash that back-dated check, he'd probably find that it won't pay him anything because the account it was written on was closed 11/5 ... nsf ...

Zero Division
(1,135 posts)I still pay a significant portion of my income taxes, along with the rest of the payroll taxes. I have no dependents, so I get very little back from either the state or federal government, but assholes like this think every low wage earner is a "lucky ducky" that pays no taxes and gets "free stuff"--whatever the fuck that is in his reality-challenged mind. I'm certainly not receiving anything like that from the government, nor do I expect to.

(3,596 posts)It is truly disgusting for someone who has had the fortune to become wealthy (inherited, privilege, earned, who cares) to attack those that are at the lowest end of the income scale.
Sure, there are some in the lower income group that are lazy and try to milk the system for what it is worth. But I suggest that is a very, very small percentage of people in that income group.
But, we have decided as a nation, that some people deserve assistance. We have decided that families shouldn't go hungry (although the current "food stamp" program hardly provides for a bounteous or necessarily healthy diet), have adequate money for the essentials of life ("welfare" , etc.
I'm sure this 1% claims to be a Christian but hasn't learned anything from the Bible about charity and Jesus' charge to his followers.
