Calm down Obama won, By a hole lot of votes, A change we can believe on. Justice was made yesterday, and Im still celebrating all the way from Panama city Panama.
Actually Mccain popular vote was only 20,000 less tha obama. So it was half in half however it was where all these voters lived at. I think america needs to elect a president on the popular vote not some stupid ass electoral vote.
its racist to call obama a black man when he is equally white. Anytime a person is mixed, they can never be identified as being white, but rather the opposing race.

Obama is born under the combined astrological signs of LEO in the Chinese year of the METAL OX!
This is as Unfeeling,Cold-blooded,Calculating, Robotic,ARROGANT and Phony as any sign can ever get.A TRUE danger to our AMERICAN LIBERTIES, as he needs TOTAL CONTROL Of every thought and action!A TRUE DICTATOR!!!!!!
Only the LUMPEN PROLETARIAT will vote for him! as it is a racial issue for them!
We can't vote for Nader until America will recognize a third party . Amerika still only has two parties Demo and redumlicans. two classes the rich and the richers ///and poor and pooers. oh and illegals poor immigrants,por imigrants contribute to a 4th class willing to work for any money while the law looks the other way, letting them get taken advantage of. 35 million californians' more than half are hispanic , Mexifornia
I find it funny McCain is having a problem with the states that are usually in the bag for the right. i give it by the next election Texas will be a problem for the right as well.
$50K a year does not strike me as poor or working class, unless you are talking about a family of four. I think that it is important to revive the terms poor and working class, though. The greatest income gap is between working class and upper middle class now. There really is a much smaller middle class.
If wages had kept up with inflation after 1960, the average hourly wage would be over $90/hr. That is a fact. If you consider that the media house price right now is still around $200K, $50K/yr is nowhere near middle class. It's lower middle class at best, working poor is more accurate. Middle class SHOULD be defined as making more than $100K/yr. Unfortunately, 75% of US makes less than $50K/yr & 90% make less than $90K/yr.
Most middle class families have two wage earners, though. So two adults making $50 K a year puts a family of four squarely in the middle class. I would even say one would be able to afford to buy a house if married to a working spouse and making somewhat less.
2 spouses making $50K/yr is not norm or else stat would not be %75 of working class makes less than $50K/yr. Do the math. If only 25% of US is making $50K/yr or more, & you coupled that 25% together, you'd only have 12.5% of US households making what you're saying they're making. That's nowhere near 'most'. 'Most' US families are lucky to have ONE wage earner making that much. With child care costing as much as $400/wk, many families are not that much better off having wife work.
my sister out of college even with field experience had to beg for $25,000 a yr salary and she's an accountant(went back to graduate school for another degree now and plans on leaving the country like I did). Its ridiculious. I say if you're young and not tied down. GEt an education now!! Its a global job market if you have a higher education degree!!
And, if she's like most college students, she's already to tied down with debt, that she'll be lucky to ever recover from it. I tell people now to avoid college. It's a scam. Pick a trade, one that's in high demand. You might make less than a college grad (although that's debatable now!) but you'll be farther ahead down the road since you won't have $100K in debt to pay off with your $40K/yr college grad salary. Unless you're going to be a doctor or lawyer, learn a skill/trade.
yea, I'm not tied down with debt right now. But my sister graduated from Oxford University. You see Oklahoma city is quite racist, and they usually ask her about the authencity of her degree during job interviews. So she is in Graduate school now. Also picking a trade based on an economic trend isn't very smart. Do something you are interested in, and plan on looking for opportunities in other countries. Its worse to get tied down into something that you hate, and it drains your soul.
also I am planning on working in Singapore once I graduate. A company already hired me, and they are giving me 2 yrs to finish my degree then I go there, and get my residency card. My sister plans on doing the same because she is getting her masters in accounting and getting her license for it. Singapore, and many other southeast asian countries with growing economies need economist and accountants, and immigrants. Also singapore is a developed nation. So :d *cheers*
That's great. i'm not sure i could live in Singapore tho. They have some pretty crazy laws there. Plus, I'm pretty much a country-boy/red-neck so, I'm not sure I could live without being able to hunt/fish/camp/etc.
What I'd REALLY like to see is the working class in THIS country get some long overdue respect & just compensation. Of all the increased wealth & productivity that's taken place over the last 30-40 yrs, 90% of it has gone to the top 5% of our society. That just isn't right.
Plus, you then have a whole generation of kids being raised by strangers. And, conservatives wonder what happened to family values? Hello! I'm a mech. engineer w/10yrs exp & I barely make $60K/yr. We bought a double-wide trailer on 5 acres in the sticks four years ago for $150K, and that was a steal! So, how well do you think 'most' of the country is doing when an engineer is barely scraping by? Unless wages come up, and dramatically, in this country, no amount of 'bailout' is going to work.
But, no one wants to talk wages in this country 'cause that's 'socialist'. BS. People simply cannot afford cost of living anymore in this country & throwing more credit at them isn't going to fix problem. My dad worked in mill, my mom stayed home to raise us, & they paid CASH for everything, including autos, never had debt, had a fat savings, & paid their house off in less than 10 yrs! THAT is the American dream. THAT is what made this country strong. Not a debtor society like we've become.
that's what my grandparents did man. My grandad had his own mechanic shop, and worked hard to support his family. This allowed my mom to goto college. Which has allowed me to goto college, and now I live in Japan. (still in college XD) After college I will be working in Singapore. I am from oklahoma city btw. Where when I was a kid I was told this would never be possible for any of us(this teacher told the whole class to forget the dreams of seeing the world outside of the military).thank you :D
I am not clear on what we are arguing about here. I think that we agree. There is a large income gap between working class (<$50 K household income) and upper middle class. Less than 25% of U.S. households are above the $50 K threshold in what used to be considered the middle class relative to the expense of buying a house, etc....
Sorry. I guess I misread or misunderstood your comment. I guess the point I was trying to make is that two people earning $50K/yr actually puts them in the top 10%, which should be considered middle class but, since less than 10% actually make that much, it puts them in the upper class of wage earners.
I believe you are right; Obama gets 300+ electoral votes if I was a betting man... probaly more like 330. As a Libertarian, I'm not thrilled about a Democrat Congress w/ a Democrat Executive branch, but the Neo-Conservatives need to be run out of office and politics in general...
Yes, but I am skeptical. However, I shall refraim from making any hasty judgments at this time. At this point it is a game of "hurry up & wait" untill the dust clears on November 5th...
I am skeptical as well, not of Obama's intentions but of what he will be able to acclomplish. I am happy that he is a constitutional scholar though. You take the constitution for granted until the government "ignores" it and does what it wants.
