GIMME GIMME GIMME that's all I here for the left.
.....A
"gimme" by any name is still a
"gimme" TwoBi .... you can call it whatever you wish ... welfare, entitlements, tax cuts, exemptions, whatever ... the thing is, the wealthiest Americans & corporations control the legislation thus continue slicing themselves off the largest pieces of the pie. And, Republicans intend on keeping it that way by chipping away at the one corridor of authority that each person holds ... the
VOTE. There's no reason why one person's vote should carry more authority than the next vote, but it does, and you know that. Here in NC, due to the extreme gerrymandering of our Republican legislators, it takes 1.3 Democrat votes to equal 1 Republican vote ... it takes fewer voters turning up at the poles for Republicans to obtain/gain public office. Also, our legislators, here, are actually trying to take away from the powers of the Governorship ... isn't it a coincident that the current governor (as of last election) is Democrat? They don't even want the governor to have the power to name state judges ... Republicans want to take that authority as well.
.....The
'wealthy' benefit the most from the federal governments ... it only makes sense that the wealthy contribute more for the services they get. If you desire to cut or limit the type of
"gimmes" the poor receive from government, pay them a fair wage. Its no doubt that Republican "trickle down" has devastated the middle class over the past 35 years ... hell, even the tariffs that Trump is implementing are not hurting China, they're hurting the poor and the veterans more. Trump seems to think that when you apply tariffs to China goods, you're hurting China, not the US ... wrong! And, the poor & middleclass are the ones who are hurt the most.
