When I drive to visit my daughter in Pittsburgh, the trip is 100 miles, I drive through a lot of rural Pa. There is this one homemade billboard sign that speaks of what I am saying. The billboard says that, "I work, pay taxes, and Democrats take." The house where that sign sits is pretty run down. I doubt that the person who made the sign has decent healthcare, I doubt that he has the means to save money to put his kids through college. His attitude is that Democrats are the problem for his poverty.
My thread is about attitude. name me a dozen more politicians who talk about raising the minimum wage, who talk about taxing the rich, other than Bernie Sanders?
Bill Clinton is a good example of what I am saying, but I can't say any more.
Krasnov and his billionaire pals are gutting the social safety net to give billionaires a tax break and unwashed Magats are blaming Democrats. Just wait until Dec. 1, 2026 when the big cuts take effect.
I understand your opinion about doing a political fix. There are rabid unwashed Magats who will never change but I believe that a significant number of unwashed Magats are going to join with us, are going to put pressure on their Congressional Reps to throw the billionaires out. Before we do the things you suggest, we need to change peoples' attitudes as to understanding what our real problem is.
