2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Major Robert Dump]

Personal anecdote != reality

Of those that don't pay income tax, the majority pay payroll tax as well as state and local taxes such as sales tax. Obviously, these people are lazy at their jobs because they are not making enough to be taxed. Of the remaining ~1/3 that don't pay income or payroll tax, it is composed of people making under $20,000 a year and senior citizens who are retired.

In other words, PJ is a cynical ass because he deals with the worst people every day and assumes that since he meets so many for his job that the actual statistics must be representative of his interactions.

I worked at McDonalds all this summer. I got called "uncivilized" due to taking too much time to provide change, I was able to memorize the names and orders of six different regulars who came every day at a specific time. I was cursed at, called names and once almost had food thrown at me. But I don't come home and say, "gee 90% of people who make things difficult are those 40-65 years old (which was true), **** all the Baby Boomers, who are so entitled."

You worked at McDonalds?? You are just like Paul Ryan!! When I saw that Paul Ryan worked at McDonalds, just like me, and that Ann and Mitt lived in their parents basement, just like my nephew that we lock down there, I totally knew I ws voting for these guys. Since we both worked at McDonalds, ACIN, we should totally hang out and tell McDonalds stories, but I am afraid with you and your liberal sensitivities you will think of me as an elistist because when I worked at McDonalds I was a Birthday Clown.
