Related: About this forumDear White Working Class Voters Who Don't Support Obama....
For various reasons (which I won't get into here), you do not like Obama, and you plan to vote against him. However, you are getting older. You will NEED Medicare and SS when you do. If you're lucky, you have either a pension or some sort of retirement fund, yet even if you have that, without Medicare, your retirement plans are cooked. Paul Ryan's plan threatens Medicare. It replaces it with a coupon to buy health insurance, and that coupon AINT GONNA BE ENOUGH.
We are all different races, sexes, sexual orientation, ethnic groups, religious affiliations, national origins, etc. The one thing that we all have in common is that we all get old if we are lucky, and we have to protect ourselves as one group.
You need to vote for Obama this fall to protect yourself as you age.
Thank you.

(305 posts)It boggles my mind that working class whites want to support a candidate in romney who is hell-bent on passing policies that will negatively affect them...he only wants to help the top 1%
In my eyes their support for him is based on their hatred for obama and they only care about having a white man reside in the white house....they are voting purely on the basis of their racist beliefs
