Polls are for pollsters. If you want to know what America is thinking, go to a shopping center parking lot and look into their eyes as the people hustle in and out of the stores. Pay close attention to their stride and ages. Notice the bent backs and legs that are hard to lift.

But that money might rub off on you in some inexplicable manner. And anyway, the richest guy in the room might give you a minimum wage job and it might even offer health insurance that you can afford — if you don’t mind being dragged below the poverty line.
Poverty is good, Ken. It makes a man good and pure. And it weeds out the wheat from the chaff if you know what I mean.
God smiles upon those who are financially prosperous. There is plenty opportunity, as long as people are willing to go and and make their own boot-straps, instead of buying luxury homes with their welfare checks.
