re: #273 Aceofwhat?

I think the actual charge that can be made is that a lot of the people who vote for what they percieve to be their best self-interests are actually voting against them, and people are calling that stupid. I do not find that stupid, and I don’t see the use of calling it stupid anyway.

I do think that both parties, but, on economic issues the GOP far more than the Democrats, work to confuse people as to what their economic self-interest actually is, or even what their situation actually is.

Is someone who’s taxes have gone down under Obama but who claims they’ve gone up ‘dumb’? I don’t find it a useful label to slap on them— but they’re definitely wrong, and it’s worthwhile to note that.
