I remember how proud Lyin Ryan was about that secretary (I think it was) who got $1.50 per week increase. WOW, That ought to help a whole lot, especially since her insurance probably when up a whole lot more.
Name your #1 concern. Whatever it is — accountability, aging, agriculture, animal welfare, children, climate change, drugs, economic growth, energy independence, the environment, fair elections, free markets, guns, health care, homeland security, hunger and nutrition, immigration, jobs, mass incarceration, militarism, minority rights, national debt, net neutrality, pensions, population, poverty, privacy, religious liberty, schools, tax policy, veterans, waste disposal, water, worker safety, you name it — it’s a lost cause as long as the super-rich can buy public policy with their giant, expensive megaphones that drown out the voices of the common people.
Isn’t it time for all of us to get together and shift our priorities to the real underlying problem with American society today? That would be campaign-finance reform. And the only way to get it, and guarantee that it sticks, is with a Constitutional amendment declaring, in terms so crystal clear that even Anthony Kennedy can’t misinterpret them, that:
(1) only actual human beings have human rights,
(2) free spending doesn’t count as free speech, and
(3) campaign financing can be reasonably and fairly regulated by any level of government.
