Economic Concerns

Just for one moment put aside your political affiliation and favoritism toward either presidential candidate and ask yourself, " Have I prospered in the past four years"? "Or have I struggled to make ends meet and wonder more often than not if my job will exist in the future"?

Are you currently employed?

If not employed, are you currently seeking employment or have you given up the search?

At any time during the past four years have you been collecting unemployment?

Do you have family or friends out of work now or in the past four years?

Have you tightened your budget and put off major purchases?

If you are not a home owner but would like to be, are you fearful that the "dream" of home ownership might just be an illusion?

If you are currently a home owner are you concerned about meeting those monthly mortgage payments?

If you are a small business owner, have you put on hold any major decisions concerning your business until after the election?

If taxes on capital gains and dividends do increase next year, how likely is it that you will make changes to your stock portfolios?

If you are a recent college graduate and have not been able to find employment, do you feel hopeful that in the foreseeable future the prospect of finding a job will improve?

As for health insurance, premiums continue to escalate. Are you concerned that in the future the quality of care may be compromised regardless of the added cost for coverage?

Do you think that malpractice suits are largely responsible for the exorbitant cost of medical care in our country?

Do you feel that maybe there should be a "cap" on the amount of money awarded in medical malpractice suits?

If you are covered by Medicare or will be soon, how concerned are you that the program will exist in the future?

Do you think that Medicare is in need of an "overhaul" in order to survive?

How concerned are you that taxes might go up in the future and not just for the rich?

Do you feel that welfare and food stamps should be available in times of need and not a way of life?

Have you put off plans of retiring due to the current economy?

Lately have you been harboring feelings that our government has failed to promote a climate conducive to economic security?

Which candidate do you feel is better equipped to handle the above issues?

How old are you?
