We pay politicians to manage our money, and they give it away to the rich

[Csainvestor]

It our tax dollars that we pay politicians to manage.
Its our sovereign currency that we pay politicians to print.

Since the US has run a deficit for decades, what's the difference between printing 500 billion for the deficit or 600 billion. We should all have a say on what we spend printed money on.

Why are we paying politicians to enrich themselves, and to impose austerity on the rest of us?

Democrats have gotten away with blood hell for decades, No More.

For example with did it take Obama 7.5 years to increase overtime rules? Notice he did not need republicans to change OT rules. So then, why was he so damn selfish, why did it take Obama so long to help the hardworking and poorest American workers?

There is no excuse for horrible schools, expensive medical costs, and crappy paying jobs.


We pay politicians 175,000 to manage the country, and they are punishing us with starvation wages, while they favor the rich.

1. How about we stop paying politicans to manage our money?

Social Security is a wonderful program, but it's also about the worst investment someone could make from a return perspective. Noone with even a hint of financial competency would choose (if we were given a choice) to give someone else the right to hold that much money, for that long, for that kind of return.

And that's just Social Security.

But what do we do? At least the government has some sense of transparency. The private sector is even worse.

9. SS is not an investment program. It's an insurance program.

Let that sink in for a while. Now do you get it?

2. With the $1 trillion dollars going to Lockheed Martin which has been spent on the F-35 program, just

think how far this amount could have gone to correct a lot of problems but instead it has gone to this program in which a functioning plane has been delivered.

3. As an example we spend more on no fly zones than we do on food stamps

Elected officials manage trillions of dollars, and they use the bulk of that money to engorge the rich billionaire class. The working class has to suffer more than in any other developed nation, this is the richest country in the history of the world, and the country is falling apart, and the working class has been abandoned, by politicians.

4. Sanders continues to fund Lockheed Martin, we pay congressional members $175,000 a year and they are

in session around 130 days, yes, they are enhancing themselves.

5. This isn't just about military spending

As i said, we use deficit spending every single year. We can use that money for any reason. Sanders wants to use that money to help the working class. The billionaires want to use that money for warfare and to enrich multinational corporations.

The corporate funded politicians are imposing austerity and punishing the working class for no good reason.

[Thinkingabout]

6. Every dollar spent on one program is one dollar less to be spent on other programs. If

Sanders wanted to spend the money helping the working class then he would not continue to vote to fund the F-35 program. Check on the number of times Sanders has voted for military action, he says over and over about Hillary voting for IWR, see how many times he has voted for military action, ergo warfare, enriching MIC's, I do not hear him talking about the military action votes he has voted.

7. Corporate funded democrats discard seniors

Corporate funded politicians discard the working class.

We pay politicians to manage our sovereign currency, and they use it to enrich multinational corporations.

Deficit spending means we can spend as much as we deem necessary to provide a basic standard of living. How much we spend isn't an either or, we can deficit spend as much as we like, we can tax the rich at a much higher rate.

The people should get to decide how we spend our own sovereign currency. Corporate funded politicians need to answer to ordinary working class citizens, not just corporate donors.

We pay these parasites, and they print money to give away to their rich campaign donors. No more, we need to change the system.

11. Maybe we should eliminate the middlemen (politicians) and negotiate with their bosses directly.
