Insight Into Low Info Voters Psyche (or why we are in deep trouble)
vanity | January 29, 2015 | Self

Yesterday on the network radio news they were reporting how many dollars cash on hand Apple Corporation had earned. They reported Apple could give every American $550 in cash were the cash to be distributed. In contrast, if the cash of Microsoft corporation was distributed, there would be only $150 per American (not sure of this number).

KEYWORDS: liv; media; news
Does anyone besides me think this way of reporting is incredibly weird? Why would I expect anything as an American citizen from Apple, except for good products? Is the entitlement culture everywhere? If I want a share of the Apple cash, I can buy Apple stock. I have no right or expectations for any of it. Are we next to liquidate the assets of corporations, to get ourselves some quick cash?

Maybe I am over reacting, but was this not weird? Are we becoming a nation of socialists? What is next?

Low info voters should look at that and conclude “hey, we could do Communism and dismantle one of the world’s wealthiest companies and redistribute their wealth, and I wouldn’t even get enough to pay this month’s rent”.

Should look at it that way, but they won’t.

“Are we becoming a nation of socialists?”

Yes, the gibmedats are finding they can vote money for themselves from the treasury and vote for the politician who promises to take the most from other people and give it to them.

Yes. And if you do too, why not change it? You provide no link to who it is you think is doing the weird reporting. So it must be you.

I think we turned the corner when that stupid Julia cartoon actually worked for Obama.

For a long time, I’ve suggested the best way to get low/no info voters and the poor to understand how the system here is SUPPOSED TO WORK, let fedzilla buy them share in a stock index fund. The smarter ones will figure it out pretty quickly. The stupid ones will probably sell it for a few pints of Ripple and be right back in the soup!

It’s an attempt to explain to the low-infos how much cash Apple has, not an offer to give it to them. What people should be alarmed about is the difference between what those stupid I-phones cost to make and what Apple charges for them, plus the billions they charge for using them.

What is in the mind of the “ObamaPhone Lady”, and the rest of the “low information voters”?

Little, exceeding little.

And what is in their below 85 IQ minds can be summed up in these three words: “Heart Of Darkness”.

WHelped in industrail quantities by welfare sluts who “Birthed Bastards For Bucks”, they never had fathers, their mothers were often alcholics, druggies, ad nauseam.

Unprepared, unproductive, and unacculturated, they have reverted to a savage “Urban Tribalsim”.

Our tax dollars paid for these modern day barbarians.

I have no link. It was on the news yesterday; I think it was ABC, NBC or one of the network stations. Struck me the wrong way. Maybe it is only me. I am weird in my on ways, but they are not socialistic ways.
