I vote for the Democrats, because they believe in affirmative action programs (this program gives qualified blacks a chance); as well as programs that help the poor. I like unions ( without them we wouldn't have overtime pay, weekends). I like the fact that unemployment insurance is available for those who lose their jobs. I am glad that poor students can get Pell grants to attend school; and student loans are available; as well. The whole pull yourself up by your bootstraps is a bunch of crap. Some of you guys proved that when you applied for FEMA aid. I don't know why other blacks vote for Democrats, am I supposed to?
