Non-elites should turn out and vote against policies favoring super rich

Why is it that when a Democrat in Congress is accused to sexual misconduct he is pressured into resigning while Republicans refer their own to get lost in the Ethics Committee process?

Why is it that Congress – constitutionally the branch of government that declares war – is silent while we have won the present Iran war weekly since February –  and more money yet it being requested for it?

Why is it that the total cumulative debt in 1986 before tax cuts was $2.125 trillion but now that is $37.64 trillion  In 1986 the middle class share of Federal revenues – 40% to 50 % on  spending that helps them – has decreased from 39% of revenues to 25%.

Why did the Republican in charge of protecting elections from foreign and electronic interference in 2020 give that election a clean bill of health while we now are told that undisclosed assessment show the machines were hacked. Didn’t Fox News already pay the firms providing our machines over a billion dollars for claiming that? (Same for illegals’ voting and voting by mail.)

Why is it that Republican campaign coffers are overflowing with huge contributions to anonymous PACs while the DNC is having to mortgage their building to raise funds for the fall?

Why do we need an Arch De Triumph type structure over the M Street Bridge or a Ball Room to hold more of the rich and famous in addition to officials needed to attend State Dinners.  (I happened to like the former East Wing that no one ever complained about.)  (And I detest all the solid gold ending up on everything including While House toilets.)

The answers are simple if you want do not want your grocery bill or gas prices to keep spiraling upwards.

So, married women be sure to have your birth certificates and marriage licenses handy in case those proposals are imposed by executive order. Naturalized Canadians and others have those papers with you. Blacks, in former black districts, look for the officials at the state and federal level who will give you back your rightful voting power.

And anyone who is not in the top 1,000 monied elite, who now help rung Washington, vote your pocket book – but remember that will mean shedding old ideas and bad math which is cherry picked just to convince get your vote helping someone else. All turn out!
