Who would have thunk it?
(Gallup) Creating good jobs, reducing corruption in the federal government, and reducing the federal budget deficit score highest when Americans rate 12 issues as priorities for the next president to address. Americans assign much less importance to increasing taxes on wealthy Americans and dealing with environmental concerns.
Yeah, much less importance
….like dead last on importance. As The New Nostradamus of the North points out “In spite of all recent heat wave hype in the media, climate change and global warming are not among the major concerns for Americans.” And, after years of the Democrats class warfare meme, that’s dead last, too.
The interesting part is that both are dead last on the list for Obama voter’s concerns.
There’s a ton more that can be read into the whole poll, but, that’s for you, dear reader. I’m just highlighting these two.
What about reducing the size and scope of government? Or getting the government out of health care?
Wait. Something wrong here. We are told by silly john that EVERYONE cares and worries about catastrophic anthropogenic global warming. There is no other concern beyond that. Heck, even the unemployed 20% of persons who happen to be at the time located within the historical boundaries once called USA believe more taxes should be paid to solve the past warming of the 80’s.
Seriously… what good is a job when fluffy the soft cuddly polar bear has to swim an extra 5 miles to find food at the nearest starbucks?
oh man.. now I feel like getting drunk. Thinking about fluffy has made me so sad.
