They know they got screwed. And they know who screwed them.
They're rational human beings. So, why would they do as you suggest?
Or were you assigned to play the "hopeless" role tonight?
It really stinks that they had their pensions taken away, an agreement was illegally broken. They should get some legal recourse but probably won't with Obama and Geithner involved in making them lose what they had. But the writing was clearly on the wall after the '70's. Any "rational" human being would have gotten out of there regardless of what was promised at the time. It was wishful thinking that the industry would ever come back, much less stronger to employ all of their kids. After Flint, did the rest think it would never happen to them? Same for the families of steel workers around the same time.
So the question is: Who knows who they will now vote for out of desperation and for whatever empty promises are made?
Witnessed the destruction of families first hand.
I will never forgive the Democrats (jealous suckers) BUT my ex still votes for Dems...
