(23,156 posts)on how certain people were voting. It profiled more than one person who planned to vote for Reagan, even against their own self-interest, as clearly stated in the magazine. I remember reading the article and being horrified. Nothing has changed since then. If anything, it's gotten so more and more people will ignorantly vote against their own self interest.

I say "unseen" because it won't be seen by the general public, and especially, the ones who NEED to see it!!

(17,199 posts)I mean, weve seen the people at the Tea Party rallies; theyre not wealthy. How come their agenda is exactly the same as the Koch Brothers? How come, in their minds, the problem with our economy isnt banks that are too big to fail, or CEOs making 500 times what the average worker makes, or lobbyists who write the laws. Literally.

Its funny also that the people who hate socialism so much are the FIRST ONES online for government giveaways. Tea Party people love Medicare. They love social Security. Its perks. Thats what Government is; its giving people free sh*t, and people love free sh*t.
