It's crazy, assuming that putting your employer out of business is the best way to get ahead. Some people believe that punishing business owners like ourselves is NOT the best thing thing the people we employ. It's crazy if you believe that $4 gas and $12 light bulbs are better for poor people than $2 gas and 25 cent light bulbs.
For poor people, only makes sense to vote republican if you think that having a job is neuter than having a job, or if you think that being able to afford things (like gas, food) is better than not being able to afford things.
In January of 2009, the food price index was 127.89. Thanks to Obama's ethanol policy, today's food price is 174.01. That's 27% increase in the cost of food in just three years. Only crazy people think that's bad, right?
Today, there are 25% more people out of work than when Obama took office. I guess losing ones job is always good if you're poor, right?
