Thread: My Mantra at My Office Today.

I had a sign outside my office that said "Those who work should not vote because it is not fair to everyone else."

I did get some flack for this, but after explaining everyone seemed to take a deeper thought. I even went to the bank today and said the same thing to the Teller.

I am a working person and will be for a long time to come. I would say I get about a 30% chance to vote. Even if the polls close after I leave the office I still have to go through traffic. So I am upset that someone gets to vote my hard work, late nights, education, etc. just for themselves. It is often difficult for people that work to get a chance to vote whereas those who do not work..unemployed, housewives/hubbies, retired, etc. have easy access.

This just seems wrong to me. My hats off to the retired, but those on welfare, or those playing the system get a chance to take away my goals and ambitions because I have to take care of myself and them.

...Thanks for the vent!!

Good point ArticleVI.

You can make time for it or absentee vote. No excuses.

Touche' Miss Dixie.. Great point!!

I thought by law you are allowed to leave your work for up to two hours to vote without losing pay. I never did that but I could swear that's the law.

I didn't have to skip work to vote, but I skipped one class, because I don't think that you're allowed to be tardy for class if you want to vote.
