Favoring of the Rich

“A CNN poll found that regardless of age, race, sex, or party affiliation, all Americans agreed that Mitt Romney ‘favors the rich’ over the middle class or poor.” See the breakdown of the state polls.


Mitt Romney seems to have an appeal to the wealthy class, as he loses the interest of those of the poor. The simple notion that he can win states just through the wealthy is shocking. “Romney dominated among the wealthy, capturing 46 percent of those making more than $100, 000 and a whopping 55 percent of those making more than $200,000. He lost among the middle –class voters, by 11 percent among those making $50,000-$100,000 and 6 percent for people earning $30,000-$50,000.”
                The wealthy control the money that flows in the country, by grabbing the interest of them it will be easier to be voted upon. This is what seems to be the logic behind this study. Our country was founded on the idea that everyone has a voice and a right to vote. We need someone that will capture the interests of all and be fair. A policy that favors the rich will get us nowhere.

We need to take a stand!
Tell the politicians what we want!
Use the voices we were given!
