I do think there are some here, like you, that give a damn about the country, some...
you are not speaking for me, for sure.
Why, thank you. I’ve always thought that the problem is that the Cheap Labor Express sways too many true conservatives because nobody studies economics anymore. And, yeah, the loudest are quite likely in the upper echelons. They tend to regard labor costs as an expense to be avoided rather than as a necessity to maintain a middle class and aspirations to improve ones situation.
You've decided wrong. Even if you were right, do you not think that many of these "retirees" have children and grandchildren whose futures they care about? My friends who do not have kids do seem to be of the run the clock out mentality and and tend to vote Dim as a result, but my friends with kids are definitely concerned about the future of this country.
Not speaking for/about me...
Take the Tea Party....while it had its laudable genesis in the epic Santelli rant, it quickly became in many places an anti Obama care gaggle....but not because they were for a “free market”, rather they didn’t want anyone to screw with their Medicare. It’s an uncomfortable truth that “conservatives” want their free crap from the government same as most liberals.
It won’t change until the checks stop for everyone.
Or it could be that you spout populist nonsense which has no basis in reality, presents no workable solutions, and is just generally BS.
