I mean I live in one of the cheapest places to live in america and our union went on strike last year because appearently $16/hr is not enough for unskilled labor that anyone with a functioning brain and a minimal work ethic could perform. Maybe this is also the problem with our education system. I mean why work hard when you can just party your life away and still make triple minimum wage.

There's nothing wrong with having an elitist run for president. I don't want Joe the Fry Cook running for president. I want someone who aspires to be and considers himself to be elite. God forbid we have an elitist running for the most elite job in the entire world!

I am bitter and pray to God every night that things will get better for American. America is in a rough state right now…and there is NO denying it. The economy is horrible and every other day, another person I know has been laid off and struggling to pay their bills.

He is the scion of military royalty. Both Dad and Grandad were admirals. He had an easy ride to Annapolis (where he was a lousy student). He leaves his first wife when the going gets tough to marry an heiress. He has 6 homes and is worth hundreds of millions. So, what does he have in common with 95% of us?? Of course he is the elitist. His policies favor his friends, his advisors are a bunch of lobbyists, and in the last several months he has flipped on his positions to appease his new "masters". He is not a maverick, he is a politician. How hard can this be?

He's also 30 years older, so why wouldn't you expect that? If you want to cast stones, start with Edwards, Kennedy, and Kerry; all of whom are worth more than McCain. How is it that just a few years after paying off his college loans, Obama is a millionaire with a multimillion dollar house? So, Obama ONLY earns $1 million/year. It sure doesn't seem like he's eating many leftovers. The fact of the matter is that more US Senators are millionaires than not. what's Obama's plan to save social security? Let me guess, raise taxes. So McCain's net worth is more than Obama's. He's also 30 years older, so why wouldn't you expect that?

Let us see the net worths of the two candidates, the home value of one versus the home values of the other. Let us see which candidate wasn't able to pay off his college loan until he was 40? Elite? Of course McCain is. There's no necessary harm in that UNLESS he is attacking his non-elite opponent for being elite. That is why McCain has a very large HYPOCRISY problem.
