[gatorboy]

3. Hey where did that cat pic come from, Arcane1?

10. That's one smart cat! Never underestimate Kitty Power!! n/m

[arcane1]

11. it's Bush. I found it on the net somewhere...

4. 7% don't understand basic economics

Probably the same people who think the word "huge" is spelled "HUGH!11!1!"

[Warpy]

14. That 7% represents franchise owners who are horrified

at the thought of having to pay their counter and fry cook help a living wage, not realizing it will be translated into enough of an increase of business to buy them that new Lexus they've been looking at.

Those are the people who don't understand economics, the people who only see a small dip in their earnings in the very short term until business picks up enough to give them a huge raise.

That rising tide that lifts all boats has to start at the bottom.

[Booster]

5. That may be the stupidest question yet.

[Oceansaway]

6. Done...n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. Is this a trick question?

Sheesh!

[liberal N proud]

8. It doesn't take an economics professor to deduce that one

He who makes money spends money

But the elite in this country seem to have forgotten that

13. The Golden Era was when a single breadwinner made enough

to support the family..and buy cars and houses and vacations and send kids to college and could afford medical care..etc..

Surely the "recipe" for that era still exists somewhere :)..Oh wait.. reagan shredded the recipe:(

15. Baby did good!!

I have noticed these kind of polls more and more on CNN. It's the piling on poll, where viewers are asked to pile on an issue the show is promoting, like this one.

they should say

DO YOU AGREE WITH LOU DOBBS THAT ...?

It still makes a good point, though. We need to take care of each other here in the good old U S of A.
