We were eating pancakes and bacon in Central Lunch, the little restaurant by the railroad tracks in Weissport, and it hit me that not a single resident of Weissport was in the 1%. Weissport is a small borough of about 800 people, and none of them would qualify. Then I thought about Carbon County itself. Obviously I don’t know even half of the 62,000+ residents, but I would bet that we don’t have 620 people in the 1%. I’m fairly sure we don’t even have 62, or one-tenth of 1%.
So isn’t it amazing that we have thousands of residents registered in a party that doesn’t represent them. Why would anyone in Weissport support a party that backs policies dedicated to helping the richest 1%? I don’t get it.
By the way, the Central Lunch makes great pancakes.
P.S.: I did credit the wrong Bush for endorsing Chicken Poop Romney. Thanks to Geojr for the correction.
