People Watching Episode 2: Voters


Hi folks. Today in America, we vote! Here is a chilling fact that I cannot wrap my head around:

Both Obama and Romney each raised well over 800 million dollars for their campaign. The sad part is, one of these dudes is gonna loose, and that’s over 800 million dollars that was wasted. What can we even do with that much money?

We can buy every American an ice cream cone!
We can pay off 20,000 student loan debts of $40,000 or less (We could probably create the same amount of jobs…)
We could pay over 1 million people’s rent this month.
We could hire 8 million people to kick Michelle Bachman in the face for 100 dollars a pop. Or! Everyone in America could do it for about 2 dollars a pop.
We could feed some starving kids.
We could pay off a puny portion of the national debt.
Save jillions of feral kitties and doggies and build huge fun house complexes for them.
Which loser am I going to vote for? Jill Stein of course! I just can’t bring myself to vote for someone I don’t agree with. Its not like my vote counts anyway no matter who I vote for.
What else could we do with 800 million dollars?
