One more punch. Punch! Obama’s guy would be who? McCain took Joe the Plumber. Sarah took Joe the six-pack, (how nice) Obama might pick, Joe the middle class. Not one of the republican’s strong points is the middle class. Middle class is the backbone of America. It is the majority, hello? Homer Simpson? The middle class is Homer Simpson. Middle Class has been castrated. I really think that with a lack of representation, any class will diminish and fall into oblivion. The wealthy can always call a lawyer, and for anyone with everything to loose, it is up to powers of the government to regulate. But the middle class is a “stand up for you kind of people”! This past American business making more than $250,000.00 has taken its business elsewhere to make a profit. If we had National health care (which most other developed countries have) we would be able to compete on a world market. And if we didn’t have corporate welfare we would have a handle on competition in a world market, and better management. Just as people that sit on their couch and eat potato chips without a care in the world, which we despise, corporations are status quo in American capitalistic ideologies, and are lax. Wow, poor Homer Simpson.
Let’s get back to middle class. Lost and forgotten, abused and forsaken. The middle class has lost it’s income and it’s opportunity, but not without a fight. Obama will get the vote of the middle class. It is not about color. It is not about moral obligation. It is about regaining their status.
