Dont ask how are you now in relation to the past, but think about where you might be in four more years
Will you have maybe been diagnosed with a disease that will cost thousands to treat?
Will your sickness force you to quit working and go on Medicaid/Medicare?
Will you have a sick spouse?
Will you have a sick child?
Will you be nearing what you thought was your retirement age?
Do you want the crew that will turn government assistance into a coupon program (think Groupon coupons at Olive Garden) when you might be needing it the most?
I didnt know 4 years ago that I would be diagnosed with an incurable disease, forced to quit working, go on disability....all at the age of 36.
I'd like there to be a safety net in place just in case I fall because I'm not a millionaire or billionaire. You can vote for the guy who has worked to make things better (with no help from Congress), or you can vote for the guys who break apart companies and ship jobs overseas, hide millions of their private wealth offshore so they dont pay taxes here on it, have received millions from foreign investors and domestic investors who are under international investigation for criminal money laundering, and ......lie about the time they once ran a marathon.
If there are "undecideds", I am seriously concerned for their mental well being. It's like asking "would you rather have an ice cream sundae or be ran over by a Mac truck and left for dead on the side of the highway"?
