if you mak 60k a year or less and vote republican why?

**KingJD31** · 07-02-12, 04:53 PM

Because it sends the right message, even though I make a little over 60 the message is work on life and you get rewarded

**Boner_18** · 07-02-12, 04:54 PM

Hate to break it to you dude but 60k a year is NOT low income. It's greater than 60% the rest of the country.

**Boner_18** · 07-02-12, 04:55 PM

42500 is about the halfway point. And this is for HOUSEHOLDS.

**SBR_John** · 07-02-12, 04:57 PM

If you desire to make $60k a year or more you want to vote in whoever gives economic expansion the best chance. If you are a career burger flipper and have no other aspirations then no need to worry about the economy. There will always be folks ordering a burger with frys.

Well I live in the DC metro area.... average income in my area is 2nd or 3rd highest in the country arounnd $110k a year I believe and $60k a year is a little less than I make and pretty much middle-lower middles class. Everyone here living in $500-600k homes or better driving 40k cars or close. I am comfortable but not secure I guess is the best way to put it. So in lower income areas guess the title is more geared toward 40k a year households.

Interested in whyyou would say this? i know massive amounts of high income libs and low income repubs.... think it is a legit question...

**The Kraken** · 07-02-12, 05:03 PM

If you're not in the top 5% and you vote republican, you're a moron.

If you're in the top 5% and vote democrate, you're a moron.

Numbers are arbitrary, see the big picture.

lol Mayan you think 60k is alot in NY? Armed corporate guards in Manhattan avg 65 a year just to sit on your ass and watch surveillance cameras, 60 is nothing here

**rkelly110** · 07-02-12, 05:33 PM

All good questions topgame. Let's take income out of the equation and just use upbringing.

I believe if your parents were Repub you might be and vise versa. If you had no influence, I believe you would turn
Dem. Why? Most people are compassionate and root for the little guy, which the Dem party is for.

**The Kraken** · 07-02-12, 05:35 PM

60k is obviously arbitrary and relative. 60k in OKC goes ALONG ways. 60k in any of the larger cities puts you in an apartment on the fringe.

For congress, we need random drawings. Just pick a name out of a hat and put them in there. This will eliminate career politicians. Just normal Joe's and Jo's in congress. We'd get some real characters in there. But they'd represent the people. Would be honest and entertaining. We need to return to a God first country. All Godless empires fall.

**MonkeyF0cker** · 07-02-12, 05:39 PM

A "God first country?" Ugh.

Which fairy tale are we all gonna buy into?

Yes exactly, because of God

God is a Republican, so I vote down-the-line Republican even though at times sure it may be against my own economic self-interest

Money isn't everything. I'm not going to pretend money doesn't matter because it does, but God comes first, and if God is a Republican, then that's how I'm going to vote, end of conversation

**rkelly110** · 07-02-12, 05:46 PM

Repubs use god to scare you, Dems act like god wanted.

**rsnnh12** · 07-02-12, 05:47 PM

Fiscally conservative, socially moderate. I believe strongly that the government is inefficient as fuk, and the less control they have, the better off we all are. The free market works if we let it... with a little regulation of workers rights and keeping monopolies and oligopolies from dominating and essentially ruining society, we can create a very efficient market. People create long lasting jobs, not the government (generally speaking).

Democrats aren't exactly in agreement with this, for the most part

**MonkeyF0cker** · 07-02-12, 05:50 PM

I overheard some guy on his phone while on the strip yesterday. He was arguing with his girlfriend or wife. He said to her, "Don't ask me. Ask God."

I chuckled.

With you here. Consider myself fiscally conservative and socially left of center.

**shady610** · 07-02-12, 06:27 PM

Because i believe in being responsible for supporting and protecting my family and me.

At the heart of all republican beliefs it all comes down to being responsible and self reliant.

We bear arms to protect ourselves.

We work to support our family not others who refuse to.

We dont want to see illegals reap benefits of our resources after breakig the law for years.

We want to have free will to make our own choices and not be forced to buy something because government wants us too.

Its easy to appear like a liberal since all you have to do is say something that sounds like nice and sweet. And being republican generally makes you sound bitter. However , the republican way is responsibilty for yourself and less governemnt.

You vote Rep period to save the nation

Obama has destroyed USA

**ChalkyDog** · 07-02-12, 07:21 PM

Interesting question.

If you make 250K per year or over, i.e. High-Middle-Class, why would you vote for Obama?

Gold, the dems and republicans have not put out a candidate in a while that can save anything, nation included. Dems have slightly better candidates lately. Bush, McCain, Romney. That is a fukkin' joke.

If the republicans get close in this race, Obama will tap Hilary for VP, and a landslide will ensue. Repubs don't have a chance in hell.

I still think the guy who sees a hundred on the floor, and picks it up and quickly asks who dropped it is a goddamn moron.

But, good for you.

The Office of Barack and Michelle Obama

http://www.barackobama.com/romney/economics/

As President Obama has said, the change we seek will take longer than one term or one presidency. Real change—big change—takes many years and requires each generation to embrace the obligations and opportunities that come with the title of Citizen.

"Mitt Romney promised to bring his experience from the corporate boardroom to Massachusetts, the same promise he’s making now as a presidential candidate. But Romney economics isn’t about creating jobs or helping the middle class. By the time Romney left office, state debt had increased, the size of government had grown, and Massachusetts had fallen behind almost every other state in job creation."

What is his slogan again?

**SteelRain** · 07-02-12, 07:51 PM

Obama has the destroyed USA but Bush starting trillion dollar wars on the orders of neo-con jews is ok

lol I can't wait until your shit nation goes bankrupt you dumb ******* stooges.

Aren't you a felon and limo dispatcher? Are you blowing the drivers on the side? Maybe working 80 hours a week?

Always wondered about low income workers who vote republican and high income people who vote democrat...... do we have any of those here? If so why? Wealthy Libs can say they want to help humanity and willing to pay more etc make sense I guess although i think they are strange but if you are poor why do you vote for republicans? Do you think you will be rich one day, do you think it is the right thing for the country to support wealthy job makers, do you know you would be making less than the already low 30k you make now if biz owners were getting bent over? Are you extremely socially conservative and willing to vote outside your social classs because you are anti-abortion, pro gun etc?........ Valid question. WHY? do you vote outside of your social class on eiyther side?

People who make $60k/annually or less want to keep their jobs and that is less likely with the democrats in control.

Please explain how the country supports wealthy job makers? These wealthy job makers use LESS than their average share of government services and pay the vast majority of income taxes collected in this country.

Also, if you're white and have children, you have to be brain-dead to vote democrat.

Most people are compassionate and root for the little guy, which the Dem party is for.

The democrat party is pure POISON to the middle class as they continuously try to lump in the middle class with the poor.

The average middle class Joe is going to lose their healthcare once Obama is fully implemented as $500 billion of ObamaCare is being paid through cutting out Medicare Advantage which is the senior "little guy" medical insurance.

The great misconception here is that economic expansion trickles down, it doesn't necessarily. It is entirely possible for the poor to get poorer, the rich to get richer, the middle class to become smaller and still have the economy expand.

This is exactly what has happened in American. Outside of the every 10 years or so recession in the economy we have had economy growth in the the US for the last 30 years, but the middle class is smaller today than it was 30 years ago, and the rich have more of the resources and the poor have less.
