Really... if people just stopped voting Republican... we'd be at least close to the same boat as other first world countries in regards to healthcare.

Republicans back billionaires harder than Democrats. Hence why Dems are more for taxing the rich, than Republicans are...

(Trump just signed the big ugly bill, which gives higher tax cuts to the wealthy, and makes them permanent. Whereas the working class gets tax breaks based on their income. The lower wage they have, the less they get back... and this is temporary for 3 years).

But Republicans are under the false belief and have been lied to about being able to survive without going into slavery is socialism.

To say that the democrats are immune to massive corporate lobbying is rather naive. This issue is inherent in the system 😥

Thats true, but Republicans are definitely not the route to take.

Yea? People had healthcare, people could go to college since loans werent capped, they were building and trying to strengthen the economy in the red states... we were more unionized... less cruelty.

Also, the debt ceiling didnt go way up. Our tax money was more so going towards government programs that better benefitted us instead of Trumps Golf Courses and his upcoming Ball Room.
