Are You Employed?

Wrong question to be asking on The Island of Misfit ****-ups.

Question should read like this instead:

No, it's disheartening....the DUmmies are waiting for Obama to make their house payment and fill their cars with gas.

Along the same line;

How many are on disability or some other permanent gov't handout.

How many are actively TRYING to get on disability or some other gov't handout.

Those are the questions I would really like to see asked over there.

Hey, no fair!  The "unemployeds" are having their vote split four ways!

(http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s233/ignitethefire65/untitled-1.jpg)

Right now, the "employeds" have edged ahead with  37% of the vote, with the combined total of the "unemployeds" breathing down their work-a-day brothers necks at 31% of the vote. 

I haven't decided what to make of the "I am underemployed (at a job below my skill/education level)" tally yet.  I figured this choice alone would have clenched the votes of all 33 of the of the employed DUmmies votes.  :uhsure:

14. I was working in a gift shop when my dad got sick. He and my mom needed someone to
   
run errands and cook. So I quit and now my parents pay me to work for them 5 days a week. The other two days I cook for them for free. Since I never had a family of my own it is my chance to be nurturing, etc. I feel lucky.

Isn't this something that you would do for free?

Not by DUmmie rules. They brought the DUmmie into the world and they're supposed to take care of the DUmmie until they die.....then the government takes over.

Seriously.  I can't see charging my parents for helping out when one of them is sick.  That is expected behavior  :mental:
