Low information voters

The last election proved to me that there are many citizens who don’t follow current issues facing our country: the low information voter. Are you one? You may be a low information voter if:

• You think the “Bush tax cuts” caused the economic collapse in 2008

• You think “tax cuts for the rich” caused the $16 trillion deficit

• You think Obamacare will reduce premiums and is free

• You think massive spending will reduce the deficit

• You think food stamps create jobs

• You think global warming is the greatest threat to our country

• You think equal outcomes is the same as equal opportunity

• You think massive regulation creates jobs

• You think passing laws restricting guns will reduce crime

• You think the “fiscal cliff” deal just passed means only the “rich” got their taxes raised

• You are a progressive because it is “cool” to do so without knowing the full history of progressive socialism

• You brag that the unemployment rate is going down without knowing the only reason it is falling is that millions of jobseekers gave up looking for jobs

• You get your news from Jon Stewart and Entertainment tonight

• You think the Constitution isn’t applicable anymore because it was written a long time ago

• You think you are poor because someone else is rich

• You think ATM’s and other electronic kiosks are the reason unemployment is so high

• You know who Snookie is but don’t know who your representative is

• You voted for Obama because he is “hip”
