I've been around 60 years now. I can tell you, shit rolls down hill.
You have your choice.....
Pick a Dem. lib-loon and have your pockets picked for those who
do not work for a living through forced tax contributions.
Pick a Rep. schemer and have you pockets picked by their trickle-
down theory; which of course is total BS as well.
Nobody elects a real person because 80% of the population is too
stupid to see the BS in front of them. So election after election
we all hear the chant "we need a CHANGE...".
We end up electing whoever is the cutest, or the funniest. No one
of "substance" and/or "backbone" ever makes it in. There ARE
candidates out there that do not have hidden agendas, but they
never run. And if they do, they never get voted in.
Nothing changes and the average worker gets screwed again.
