You said — “We are the employers, the citizens of the United States.”
No, actually I would say, in light of an (1) employer, (2) employee, and (3) the “hiring process” — it’s the *American Voter* who is the employer — and furthermore — only the American voter who *did vote*.
They said — “You’re hired!”

And they hired him by a greater margin of votes than either Bill Clinton got or George Bush got.
It would seem that your “employer argument” is a bit lacking, since the “employer” hired Obama by a great margin...

If you don’t get it yet... you’re on a *employer committee* and *you’ve been outvoted*... That’s the reality of the situation, although I do know that several posters have a problem recognizing the reality of it...
[... just for the record, I didn’t vote for Obama, and I campaigned for the Republican ticket and against Obama..., there are some “crazies” out there that make up stories, so I have to qualify this... LOL...]
Not the voter, who may not pay a net of anything, but the Taxpayer.
How many of the voters who cast their ballot for Obama are net taxpayers (after refundable credits and 'entitlements', and how many who voted for McCain?
I think that alone would change your equation substantially.
