Typical bitter middle aged white man. His answer to solve America's problems is to bring everyone's wage down to his level. Rather than aspire to raise the middle class standard of living he want's to tear it down. He votes FOR the party that MOST favors the rich. He votes FOR the party the MOST favors outsourcing jobs. He votes FOR the party that MOST favors leaving workers defensless to whatever corporations can get away with.

Survival of the fittest.... Dog eat dog.

He thinks by bringing your wage down he will win.

What you are incorrectly calling "broke" is merely a State cutting spending to match revenues. ( nothing apparently makes you happy)

[This is been yet another addition of middle school level economics for right wingers.]
The only thing funnier than your response is the fact that you pretended to be schooling based upon economics.. haha.. ooh brother you never stop..

tell me when people arent working, how much tax revenue do they pay?

Your "broke" so they are cutting back kinda describes businesses, but that doesnt mean they arent broke, it just means they need to do something about it.
