I just want to be represented as equally as the guy who own 5 houses, 3 businesses, and has 5,000,000 in the bank which is the way it should be. Those are my thoughts anyways.
You (we) are represented more than equally. The guy makin millions is payin way more taxes than I am. If I make say 50k a year I'll pay around 15k. Guy makes 5 million pays ??? 1 million after finding buncha loopholes?? Now what does the millionaire dude get that I don't? We use the same roads, same firefighters, cops, hospitals, .....
Thing is he's got 5 million bucks and people around him are willing to upsell to him so they can get some a his cash too. So he can afford better doctors, lawyers, neighborhood... But hey he busted his ass to get that shit so I ain't gonna hold it against him. We all play by the same rules, some just play the game better. Just depends on what your into.
It used to be that when rich peeps got richer the middle class got richer. But now the rich folks have taken their marbles to China, India, South America........ So all us back here are fucked no matter who seems to run things. You can't keep a country this large functioning on a service oriented economy forever.
The folks that really run things are gonna take their game where they can make the most profit. No such thing as patriotism or loyalty to the folks that got them there in the first place just profit. So now some of the 3rd world counties are experiencing their industrial revolution, and we left back here, need to find a new way to get by.
Hey I know lets legalize pot, get some hemp growin, start makin stufff outa it, create jobs, people make more money, can pay their bills and taxes so that the politicians can give themselves a raise. And some more peeps get rich sellin their hemp and herb and they create jobs so that other peeps can afford a little of the extra stuff available like better doctors and such. thing is with government health care the folks with more money are gonna buy better care anyway. Do you really think the government would want to get in the health-care biz if it wasn't profitable for them? And hell this just scratches the surface....
