Politics: The Poor

After watching the first episode of "30 Days" that's hosted by the maker of the movie "Supersize Me", I have had my eyes opened in a way to the hard lives of people earning minimum wage.

Rant #1:For years I've taken the stance that most of these people are idiots and losers that dropped out of highschool and are just paying for their idiocy. But there must be at least a minority that are good, upstanding, hardworking people that just could not afford college (I barely can). I'm by no means supporting welfare which I think is a horrid breaucracy, but I would think that raising the minimum wage would aid in helping the average Joe make a better life for himself without crippling businesses. Small businesses would be hurt by the move, but they would adjust just like every other time they raised the minimum wage. Unfortunately, the worst Democrat on earth came up with this idea (Kennedy), but it goes to show that even a murdering silverspooner can have some level of common sense. Oh and Republicans...WAKE UP...morons... the Republican Party has been hijacked by big business for decades too long. Instead of relying on rich conservative businessmen to finance the campaigns, Republicans should turn to the huge amount of willing people...middle class mostly...that would finance a party that would genuinely fight for them and it would also bring many Southern Democrats and union into the party.

Rant #2: The nation is majorly middle class. Every President has been an elite member of society, with a select few being from the middle class. Why on earth don't we have a President who has been where we have been? Why can't there be a President from the lower class? No one knows how to fix our problems who hasn't been there before and I think that's the major problem with modern America since the elite politicians have no clue how to help us, but only guess. Go to the people and wholeheartedly asked them how you can fix their problems! Then do it! Not very complicated...pretty flippin' easy if I do say so myself. Vote for Jude, I'll kick everyone's a** and turn this country around with a Republican in one armlock and a Democrat in the other...Nader's my cleaning lady...
