Senator Bernie Sanders seems to be one of the few fighting for the middle class and the poor. The Republicans would like to see Social Security privatized or cut. How, I ask, can you cut the people that get $3oo or $400 or even $500? These are the people who made the low wages and now we ask that they take a cut? If it is privatized, when the stock market drops, they lose. On the other hand, the mega rich don't need social security. Shouldn't there be a means test for them. Should we consign those who are poor to starvation so the rich can own 4 homes, 6 cars, etc. I want to know how you can live in 4 homes anyway.
This is just a sample of the way many of our representatives think. They are bought by the big industries and the big banks and big oil to name just a few. Isn't it time that we think of a way to keep big money out of the elections. I don't know how we can do it. But we need to try. Maybe it we each give a dollar to support elections - or two - we can have a fair election of the president and Congress. The people in Washington would work for us.
I think the real issue is this.
