Elections matter

And keep feeding your family...



 Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer this week vetoed republican efforts to end the $300 supplement the federal government has been adding to our unemployment benefits...just as news broke that the red states who have ended the extra benefits have done nothing other than to deprive their economies of the extra dollars that could have been spent by its citizens had they left well enough alone.  And that's what they deserve for trying to score political points instead of looking out for the best interests of their states and their citizens.

And this is just another in a long line of reasons why elections matter--instead of being at the beck and call of corporations that won't pay their employees a living wage or the notoriously worker unfriendly Chamber of Commerce like republican leaders, Democrats are out there making sure that the people on whose backs this country is carried are getting enough to feed their families until they can find decent paying jobs in industries they've spent their lives preparing for.

There very well might be forty percent of this country who are happy to screw themselves financially to own the libs, but the other sixty percent are firmly in the Screw That Bullshit Camp.

And those are the voters we need to be reaching out to in the 2022 elections and beyond.


Taxing the Wealthy Is Good Politics for the Democratic Party
