“I would ask those retired people why they kept voting for their politicians, but I’m not looking to be popular. “

I asked an old friend of my mother’s who has since passed why she always voted Dem. She said it was cause her dad told her what an evil man Herbert Hoover was. A lifetime of never giving any thoughts to politics.I just shook my head. This woman was actually conservative the way she lived but when she got to the voting booth all thought processes stopped.

My point is that there is enough blame to go around. Some octogenarian complaining to me that they "paid" into SS is meaningless, when I'm paying into SS right now and probably won't see a dime of it.

I have know hundreds just like her over the years. Trying to change their minds is mission impossible.
