this economy you keep screaming about does not affect the majority of the voters, either way they live in poverty.
so you want the guys in rural areas, or slums to give a damn about stocks and bears and bulls, or about more taxes.
Economic disaster will only hit the middle class, who will have to put a check on their spending, maybe downgrade their kids schools, avoid frequenting the java's ... but disaster, in kenya you are dreaming. Remember we are a poor third world country don't be blinded by your middle income to think that the majority of the country is like you.
