ELECTION: The right priorities

A new wave of hopefully common-sense Democrats coming into office might just be what is needed to override the goofballs like Pelosi and Waters who think they are being paid to obstruct and stagnate government.

Don’t fight over gun control or immigration. Those are politically irreconcilable gaps that will do nothing but waste your time and our money to pay your exorbitant salaries. Focus on health care improvements, tax cuts for the middle class and other issues that can be mutually agreed upon and enacted upon.

I urge all politicians to review their documented job descriptions and focus on helping to accomplish results that will actually help improve the lives of the true middle-class American people with salaries less than $100,000 a year. The (million dollar-plus) wealthy business people are going to have to hire people for their business with or without tax breaks. Let’s see if the wealthy can survive on their own without subsidization from the government.
