Problem:
This advertisement for Mitt Romney in 2012 attacked President Obama's plan to remove work requirements for welfare. How would critical thinkers evaluate this ad? (More than one answer is correct.) Group of answer choices Critical thinkers would decide it's best not to vote since you can't trust any politicians. If you vote you have likely been bamboozled by slick, deceitful ads. Above all else, critical thinkers do not want to be bamboozled. Critical thinkers would be appalled by Obama's actions and be sure to vote for Romney. Romney's ad claims that as president Romney will restore the work requirements because they work. Critical thinkers would want to know the evidence that supports this claim. Critical thinkers will research the work requirements for welfare that Romney says Obama has cut. The truth is likely more complex than suggested by the ad. One aim of Romney's ad is to suggest that Obama's actions promote unfairness by permitting some people to get money without working while others have to work for their money. Critical thinkers would want to examine the evidence before accepting the truth of this suggestion.
