Papantonio: Public Says Romney Only Cares for the Wealthy

One of the biggest questions that voters will have to ask themselves this coming November is "who will take of my interests better." The latest polls tell us that voters have already asked themselves that question, and the answer for most of the 99% is Obama. But for those in the top 1%, they overwhelmingly support Republicans like Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Mike Papantonio talks about how voters' perceptions of who is the friendliest to Wall Street will play out this year with John Sides, political science professor and contributor to The American Prospect.

BUT he doesn't own his own business, makes under $100,000 a year, pays up the whazoo for employer sponsored health insurance, is a Senior, and will NEED Social Security and Medicare in a couple of years.

Is this LOGICAL? How the hell does Romney and/or Republican policies benefit HIM???? Plus, I, our daughter, and son-in-law work in Public Education, and our older daughter is Gay. Hello? Can you say CLUELESS?
