I thought the same poll went on to say that they make less $ than the average joe and jane also. Prime candidates to benefit from plan.

Making less than the average doesn't neccessarily mean that they'll benefit from the plan. They may work hard to just get by without government assistance and are afraid about being taxed more. A lot of people are nervous because they don't know how it's going to affect them.

Don't necessarily disagree with you.

I saw some interviews with Reno protest this past weekend and some of the folks they interviewed were unemployed and getting benefits including foodstamps. I didn't bring them up b/c the sample was so small it was meaningless.

Didn't read the poll but does it mention if they are on welfare or have jobs?
Are they paid by a union to appear at rallies or are they paying there own way?
Did they get off an Acorn bus or drive themselfs?

Such a large group to be only made up of hardworking, poor,uneducated, right wing nuts. Now add in the educated independent voters, wealthy hardworking people and the self employed entrepeneurs and Obama and the Dems are clearly in deeeeep sh$t.

The only way to balance that out is..................Amnesty.
