There is an election coming up on Tuesday. Surely, you’ve heard or seen. Since I’ve been alive for many decades and have seen elections come and go, the process is similar every time:
VOTE FOR ME. THE OTHER GUY SUCKS. HE (SHE) TAKES MONEY FROM BIG BUSINESS AND DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR PROBLEMS.
Meanwhile, Election Day after Election Day goes by and ... do things ever get better? No, not really. They keep taxing and spending, and when they cut taxes (so they say) we wonder where the cuts are and how much we really get. That’s the illusion - making us believe we are getting something when we are really getting nothing. It’s politics 101.
So, here we are in 2018 - with another mid-term election that “they” say is the most important in recent times. OK then, show me. Show me that the person I vote for will actually make things easier for me, because I pay your salary and all.
Ronald Reagan said he would “take government off our backs,” but he was so old and senile that I don’t think he realized what the fuck was going on. Government is more on our backs than ever.
Go ahead and vote. It’s your right, and kind of a privilege. But, don’t expect anything to get better for YOU because you aren’t voting for YOU - you are voting for THEM.
