A new study busts harmful myths about white working class men and women.http://www.alternet.org/corporate-accountability-and-workplace/beyond-god-and-guns-why-gop-may-lose-white-working-class?akid=9427.276861.B7PnOQ&rd=1&src=newsletter714105&t=1
What is “the white working class,” that much discussed, often criticized demographic group that many say will decide this election? You know them: They’re “bitter” and “cling” to “guns and religion,”  in the (otherwise sympathetic) words of 2008 candidate Barack Obama . Many are members of “the 47 percent” of Americans dependent on government  derided by Mitt Romney , who the Republican insists will vote for Obama – except many don’t know they’re in that moocher class, and plan to vote for Romney.
