Those that do vote republican tend to be those who believe that getting a good education, applying oneself and having a positive attitude will get you somewhere in this country. These people come here from depressed parts of the world to become successful through their hard work and responsibility. Success is not guaranteed by any govenment nor should it be.Agreed.

Me too. Hard work and education is important. Less government control is good.
- JackoliciousLegs - 11-03-2008
That's not what I was agreeing too. Maybe you didn't read it. It had nothing to do with govt control and everything to do with how much a govt should help. It's never said anything was guaranteed. I just think that we need to do our best to have a level playing field.

I saw a pretty good op ed piece in the washington post yesterday by Jeff Flake about where he sees the future of the republican party.

Wow, maybe Obama becoming president wasn't a bad idea. As long as he doesn't raise my taxes.

That guy is pretty much on the money. If you've got the Republicans on one side who are going to spend us into bankruptcy, and the Democrats on the other side who are going to spend us into bankruptcy, that's not much of a choice.
The "neocons" have hijacked the Republican party, creating a socially conservative but economically liberal party, which is dumb. Maybe we'll get a new republican party, one worth supporting.

I think you're safe unless you are seriously ballin', hell my step-dad will be seeing increased taxes and he still voted Obama because he believes in him.
CaptainHenreh: What you said is exactly right, this is especially apparent if you are from any rural area. It's very tough to deal with any "republicans" these days who have no idea what the original republican party was actually about.

You dont have to be seriously ballin' to have two people in the house with a combined $200-250k income.

I was assuming he was <30 years old and for a couple to make $250k at that age would be impressive to me.

Did you really just say that? Regardless of the high cost of living in this area, a couple making a quarter million is fairly significant. I know it's not THAT hard after both are in the market for 10-25 years, but it's still pretty much ballin'.
- .RJ - 11-07-2008
Its significant, but its not some lofty unattainable figure for a 2 income household.

No... but only 5% of households in America achieve it and I don't anyone here has... which was the point.

I am less than 30 yrs old, and making 250,000$ combined household income in Northern Virginia, is approx = to making $173,762 in San Antonio, which is much more possible after 5-10 years, than 250,000$ in either place.
But you are right, most people even in NOVA are not making 250,000$ combined household income.

These are median income figures - that means there are a signficant number of people both above, and below the mark.
20 Highest income Communities in th United States:
1 Fairfax County, Virginia $100,318
2 Loudoun County, Virginia $99,371
3 Howard County, Maryland $94,260
4 Hunterdon County, New Jersey $93,297
5 Douglas County, Colorado $92,125
6 Somerset County, New Jersey $91,688
7 Morris County, New Jersey $89,587

18 Williamson County, Tennessee $81,449
19 Prince William County, Virginia $80,783
20 Alexandria City, Virginia $80,449
With two college educated adults under the same roof $250K isn't unrealistic at all... I'm not quite sure I understand why so many college kids (income potential IS why most folks go to school) think it's stratospheric.
