National exit polls confirm:
"Additionally, the exit poll data shows a growing perception that the U.S. economic system is unfair. Sixty-three percent of voters said they believe that it generally favors the wealthy, compared to 32 percent who say it is fair to most Americans."
But yet they voted for the people that will make things even worse. If we could ever educate these fools, republicans wouldn't have a chance, but the republicans are very adept at lying, cheating, stealing, and rigging the vote. Fuck the idiots that can't think their way out of a paper bag!
