[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most middle class folk, with or without degrees, blue collar, white, and grey, all know we will never receive any freebies from any democrat program unless we have HHI at or below poverty. So, our best bet is on a guy who has a greater likelihood of improving job opportunities overall.[/quote]

But that's not the case.  Republicans have consistently failed to deliver on improved job opportunities.  They are also the ones who have promoted "trickle down economics" going back to the Reagan era - where nothing ever trickles down - it has meant that wages for the working class have remained stagnant since the 1980s when adjusted for inflation, even as worker productivity and output have consistently gone up, even as corporate profits have consistently gone up.  It's all being skimmed off of the top, with the richest people getting richer and not sharing the wealth with those who made it happen.[/quote]

Again, no democrat program will EVER "share wealth" with my middle class family. E-V-E-R. Ok? Not happening.  Total fail bye.

Secondly, in case you read twitter and facebook for your news, theres this stuff called outsourcing, H1-Bs, illegal immigrant labor, and relocation of manufacturing to china, mexico, etc. This ABSOLUTELY eliminates jobs for American workers. All of it.

Finally, remind me again what obama did to create jobs? Im drawing a blank. Oh, NOTHING. [/quote]

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act did a lot and probably could have done more if Republicans weren't so scared shitless of recovery and reinvestment.

There also would have been a lot of jobs coming out of the infrastructure projects Obama went begging for again and again.  And the Republicans response to that was what?  Oh right, vote again to repeal ACA and shut down the government. That really did help.[/quote]
