I suspect that most voters want more money to make ends meet, not to fund politicians. Raising the minimum wage would be good for the economy, good for the poor, and also good for the rich.
While I love the idea and the comments. I find it ironic that the comic features what’s presumably a Republican congressman when it’s Democrats who would be most affected by this. They receive far more contributions from groups/PACs and corporations than Republicans. Source: https://www.opensecrets.org/overview/topcontribs.php
Moderate FOR a Republican, not moderate in general. After all, George W. Bush introduced the Barroom Principle of Warfare: waging war on someone who looked at us funny.
And don’t forget I said “to the right of Nixon,” who seriously considered declaring martial law because of campus rebellion and explored the possibility of pardoning himself. (He only avoided the latter because it wouldn’t prevent him being impeached — as it would be immediate evidence of an inappropriate use of Presidential power. So he got Ford to do it for him.)
