A man in a suit is in a quarantine tent labeled "Money in Politics." Person: We decided to quarantine only the real threats to America. Lobbyist: Let me out... I have an election to buy!
We have to organize, and put initiatives up for referendum, to completely overhaul the U.S. electioneering system. We must vote it in; obviously those affected will not pass any such legislation. Until we get the money out of the system, we have no hope. The Scotus is currently on their side..ps: If we ever get that far, we must also establish very stiff fines/penalties agianst taking bribes, of any kind.
32 individuals contributed more money in the last presidential election than all other donors combined. That makes it seem like it is impossible for the middle class to have any say in what happens in this country. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those 32 people only have 32 votes. The Middle Class has millions………………………………………………………………………………The only thing that is going to save the Middle Class is the Middle Class. We are the 99%—- that means we have the votes to elect people who will actually represent middle class workers and provide a safety net for those who are trying to get into the middle class.We all need to know WHO is supporting the candidates. That is who they will be working for. They have no choice if they want to stay in office. You have to do the bidding of whoever is paying your way, just the same as we all do in our jobs. So, before going to vote, look it up on the internet. Open Secrets is a good site, but there are plenty ………………………………………………………………………………………….. If the candidate is getting their money from small donors or from unions, they are going to be working for middle class working people. If their donations are from corporations or from 1%ers, that’s who their votes are going to be working for. They are not going to go against them and do anything to help the middle class……………………………………
This cartoon is astonishingly ignorant. -In our current wold and throughout history political systems that allow the use of money to support political campaigns are without exception more free than those political systems that bar the use of money for campaigns.-On the other hand, societies that are able to quarantine people infected with deadly diseases tend to lose fewer people to said diseases than societies that do not practice quarantine.
Since you quote FOX I know where you get your mis-information. Join the real world and look at facts instead of fabrication and you might stop being the harlequin, Harleyquinn

Returning medical volunteers should wear “Don’t Tread On ME” T-shirts so the right-wingers might note their hipocrisy?

You mean Steyer and Soros-the water snatcher and the currency speculator?
