And there are more.
In reality there are plenty of people who are working to help ordinary working class people. Not all politicians are in it simply for their own selfish purposes.
Let me guess - all Democrats. You mean only helping certain people get more "freebies" while the real "working class" works like dogs to pay for it all? Where's my cut? I don't see anyone saying that they will pay for my education. Why? Because I have a decent paying job, but that doesn't mean that I don't have school debt just like everyone else.
Mostly yeah, but I'm liberal so what do you expect. I had respect for Ron Paul when he was in office. I didn't always agree with him but he always seemed honest and up front about what he believed. I unfortunately don't feel the same way about his son.
I don't know what "freebies" you are talking about. We pay for every service the government offers. Another thing is people who are too destitute and don't pay income taxes still pay a variety of other taxes.
I also don't understand what you're getting at with the school debt thing. I think college should be available to anyone who wants to go for should have their tuition played through tax dollars. I would probably also support a jubilee on all student debt or at the very least allow people to discharge the debt through bankruptcy. And with the way things are I would actually support lowering taxes on the middle class and raise them for the people who can comfortably afford it. Also we can add trade barriers like tariffs or a VAT tax and pull out of the various trade deals we've entered into. That will help lower the trade deficit and make it harder for US companies to make money by keeping manufacturing out of the country. This country has all of the resources we need to educate and offer the bare essentials to everyone. We just need to figure out how to use those resources more effectively.
I know that this all might just sound crazy to you. We are pretty far apart on our political worldviews.
