 People who hold a Ph.D are some of the least likely people EVER to vote republican.

I am not sure this should be all that surprising to anyone.  Anyone that attends a state school will be receiving a subsidy from the government.  If you go undergrad, to grad, to doctorate that is a lot of subsidies.  Then you have to do research which is probably funded by more subsidies.  At the end of this journey Ph.D's have received a lot of subsidies.  And they have spent a significant amount of time as part of institutions which some would suggest are very liberal.

It amazing Just how many of these hardcore Republicans on this forum are on the Government Dole and don’t see themselves as a burden on those of US who actually WORK!!

Everyone wants to cut subsidies, as long as it's not their subsidy.  It pretty sad really, and it's the reason things are unlikely to change.  Clearly it's also impacted by the fact that if politicians don't have subsidies to hand out they become considerably less important.  I also suspect they would gain a lot less wealth while receiving these low 6 figure incomes while in office.

You"re the one with the subservient union thing going on. :crazy:

If good wages, decent work rules, cheap Cadillac family health insurance, not being bullied by management, and lack of brown nosing are considered being subservient, oh well...

Wow! I see your point now! Why would anyone want these things? :sarcasm:

In other words if they pay you enough you'll do anything, what is that word???Escapes me right now ummmm... OH! I know! A Whore!

Except you pay someone to f'uc you, I guess you must like it :rofl:  :rofl:

20,000 hours of volunteering is the equivalent of working a full-time job for 10 years.  Hats off, this truly an amazing number.  

Or is this one of those fuzzy math calculations.

actually the hours accumulated in over 20 years; including weekends :angel:

Some interesting stats from the last election:
Those that voted for Obama:
73% earned under $15,000/yr
63% did not go to high school
65% were single

Yeah, these numbers don't seem to make sense.  Are you sure it wasn't phrased a little differently.

Instead of 73% of those that voted for Obama earned under $15,000/yr perhaps you mean 73% of those that earn under $15,000/yr voted for Obama?  That might make more sense.

And here I thought our votes were anonymous.  :)

You are right...I did phrase that wrong!
stats are taken from exit polls, I think our votes are still anonymous!

No, its called getting the most compensation for the work I do. You see my first responsibility is to my family and myself. It's my job to provide the most for them. So you can continue the name calling, it really does not bother me coming from the likes of you.
At least I don't claim to be an " independent, lone wolf" all while depending on my wife's job to provide my health insurance. I can think of several names for people like that, and none of them are very pleasant.  :thumbsup:

If I were to need too I am quite able to provide my own health ins.but my wife and I are a team, if she can get cheaper ins. why not? If a vendor offers me a better price on parts I'll buy from them, if one of my customers gets a better service from someone else they are free to switch. I work with market forces, you work with what your union tells you to do. We've gone down this road before. :deadhorse:

So its ok for you to get the best deal for your team but if someone else does it its wrong just because they happen to work in a union shop? You have said yourself you would be screwed if your wife's company dropped their insurance coverge. Now magically it is not a big deal??? Make up your mind before post.
The union does not " tell" me to do anything. I chose to work at a place where the employees are protected by a contract. I don't have to take the union insurance. It's my choice. If me and my fellow employees do not perform we lose customers and people get laid off. I'm free to leave for a better opportunity. So:
Our customers tell us what to do.
Our customers are free to go somewhere else.
Our vendors compete for our business.
Our employees have to perform to keep their jobs.
Market forces impact our company.

Your not special. You work in an industry that right now is desperate to put any warm butt in a drivers seat. You need to brush that big chip off your shoulder.
