If I was voting I would vote for Obama(even though if Paul ran I would vote for him instead).

Why?

Simple, he's not a silver spoon, I can't respect a trust fund baby or someone who made millions and at the same time took his money to a another bank in another county to avoid taxes, who made money off the backs of others while he sat at a desk doing next to nothing.Who says that 47% of people are lazy, that we are freeloaders, Mitt better never come around my part of town, he get a left hook!

Wants to end corporate subsidies and strengthen Medicare and social Security. She wants to end banks creating money , restore Glass-Steagall (sorry), wants to reform healthcare through Medicare for all (I love that idea), repeal the Patriot Act (Love that), I entirely love her foreign policy, she is in line with my thinking on immigration (let them stay here) ... I could go on and on.

I think they could be a breathe of fresh air myself and they would actually make Congress and the Senate work for a change. They would be forced through public opinion to tackle the tough issues instead of tabling them.

But we see so much Obama and Romney talk here and I think they will change little to nothing. Obama maybe a bit better on foreign policy and Romney perhaps a bit better on the economy - but no big swing either way regardless of who wins. Thus I was hoping for responses.

Its not anyone's fault for being born into a rich family, but when you start acting like your above everyone else, that you have all the answers and that if you can do it anyone can, is when I start to have a problem.

Its like a game of Monopoly, we all start off with the same amount of money, makes the game fair right? Well lets say instead of making it fair and giving everyone a fair shot, we instead give two players 50k and the other 2 1k, now what do you think is gonna happen? Who do you think is going to win? Is it because the other 2 are smarter then the other 2? Or is its because they had a hand up before the game even started?

Being born rich, is a handup! You have no right if you rich to talk about handouts or doing things the hard way or doing it all by myself.

I respect people that earn their money, that come from nothing and make something, I will never respect people that get it handed to them....
