Are you middle class? Vote Democrat
Are you upper class? Vote Republican
Maybe I'm just silly for voting w/ my wallet
I don't believe people who say "I haven't made up my mind yet"
Can anyone convince me I am wrong?
You're really trying to make two points here.
1) Everyone votes with their wallet (and thus should have decided by now)
2) There is an "obvious" choice depending on your economic status
I think the first is obviously wrong. Just because YOU vote with your wallet doesn't mean everyone does. Rich folks may tend to vote Republican, but not all of them do, a very significant minority vote Democratic on a regular basis. And for that matter, a lot of lower to middle class folks are fire breathing Republicans.
Your second argument kind of misses the point. Not only does everyone NOT vote just for economic interests, but they don't always do it for THEIR economic interests. There are plenty of folks who want to vote for more handouts and/or less taxes for them personally, but I think plenty of people look for policies that will benefit the economy as a whole, rather than just them personally.
That said, I think "undecided" voters, at least if they are STILL undecided, are pretty stupid. Your logic of who to vote for is kind of silly, but I think by this point most reasonable people should have been able to come up with SOME kind of reason to vote for one candidate or the other. You're not going to get any new information between here and election day, if you haven't made up your mind by now, I start to wonder.
