MSN poll asked: Who would you like to see worst hit by the government's forthcoming spending cuts?

[sandyRoe]

56% said 'the elderly' and 31% 'The poor'.
The milk of human kindness is overflowing among MSN voters. How would we vote here on AB?

[Bbbananas]

I can;t believe only 6% said the 'well off'.

The ones who voted must have been well off?

[Greedyfly]

I vote 1 then
Seeing I have been in most of the other catagories at one point or another lol

[B00]

But if we're to understand that the title of this question and the one from the poll is the same- it's basically asking who we'd like to see become worse off financially- right?
