Why Don't Barack Obama and John McCain Talk About the Working Class?

With the economy the number one issue on the campaign trail, major party candidates John McCain and Barack Obama discuss their tax plans, jobs and the financial bailout on the stump. But are they really addressing the needs of the working class? A new study from the Center for the Study of Working Class Life suggests that neither McCain nor Obama have adequately spoken to the needs of one-fifth of the population-the 60 million Americans who are barely surviving in this economy.

They do not speak about us because we are beneath them. We are the poor and barely surviving people. They do not care about us. This is made true by the fact that they both are going to increase the amounts we have to pay to just survive.

Neither of them have a clue about real life. They both live in their insulated privileged bubbles. The fact that Sarah Palin does pretty much live a normal working class life gives the McCain camp a small dose of reality but that's about it.

I wonder if they will start to campaign in two years like this last time. This two years of campaigning can really get one down.

This is not the fault of Obama or McCain, this is the fault of every American that votes. Instead of voting intelligently they vote based on popularity. Therefore they are casting a vote in ignorance.
