The poll revealed three demographic groups in which Obama still has support:
- American voters who are not required to pay federal income taxes (roughly 36 million people)
- Voters in the New England region (7 million people)
- Voters age 18-29 years old (24 million people)
Contrasted to the White House and their surrogates' consistent message that has become more strident in the last month, that those who do not support Obama are racists. By extension, the essential charge being made in regard to the racism of Americans who oppose his government policies apply to the majority of all groups not included in the above three.
Specifically named in the poll, describing those who oppose Obama:
- Taxpayers
- Gun Owners
- Evangelical Christians
- Business Owners
The question it raises for me is simply this: If everybody who pays taxes opposes the Obama agenda, presumably because they understand it's designed to increase their tax burden, in what way does that make them racist?
If the answer is because most folks in the #1 Obama supporting group (non-taxpayers) are non-white, then which side is racist - those who don't think the federal government should pursue an agenda that robs those who produce to "redistribute" to those who don't, or those who have concluded that these government dependents are helpless for no reason other than their skin color?
The young may not deserve their own category, since they're suffering the highest unemployment rate of all groups under the Obama economy. They just have the added burden of sitting in classrooms listening to communist instructors every day, and have to await "real life" experience later on that will teach them the truth about intrusive and oppressive government.
