Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee, plans to unveil a new 'pension and
family security' plan while campaigning in the Pennsylvania on Tuesday. According to an outline of his proposal released by the McCain campaign, it is aimed at seniors, workers and homeowners – 'those who are currently hurting the most' due to the ongoing fiscal crisis.
I'm curious as to how "seniors, workers, and homeowners" are the groups of people who are "currently hurting the most". I'm appalled that there hasn't been much talk of anyone living at or below the poverty line. Do politicians honestly believe that this downward turn in the economy doesn't effect them adversly as well? Or do you have to have money to be effected?
They may not be politically active in the sense of engaging in politics as most Americans see fit, but they will engage in their own form of politics if things go completely against them. I'm not too sure I would like to see a recap of the Watts Riots of '65 or the LA Riots of '92... History repeats itself when we don't learn from it.... And hey, that was only California.
