when I see that exit polls showed the economy

as being one of the main causes for the outcomes, I wonder why the media doesn't go

further and state that the general population is tired of all the wealth accumulating at the top

instead of being shared as it should be.

On the other hand, I wonder why anyone would vote for someone that would continue the same

policies of squashing the working class.
