Really, since most property is actually owned by the banks, almost none of us get to vote, no matter how much land we call our own. We don't "hold title".
So the rich get to cast all the votes. Based on the leanings of most of the rich, I don't see much change for the better there.
While I don't own my 1/2 acre with a house on it, I and my wife work every week to make it our own, and we have everything to lose. Our skin is definitely in the game. I am self-employed, getting every FRN with my own hands.
I don't think anybody "on the tit", should vote, as it's patently obvious where their votes will fall.
While I still vote, I no longer think it matters, and haven't for awhile. As we all know, they do as they wish, we be damned. They will continue this path, as they put the last few bricks into place to seal the wall of tyranny in on us. Then, they will send their guns in to take out those who will not knuckle under, and convince those who will of their fate.
I no longer believe our voices will change anything, and that they simply laugh while they put those last bricks up, as we are diverted.
I don't propose to have the answer, and quit trying to follow all the "protests". Do what you will if you think it helps.
But "it" is coming. They have come way too close to let it go now.
So I am left with but one course.
To be as ready as I can,
and to wait ..............
The immediate solution with regards to your post is to break the control they have on the political system.
The corporations and unions want to be treated as individuals?
Okay, limit their campaign contributions to the same amount as private citizens.
We still can't prevent them from doing whatever Ads they want to put out on their own but we can limit their control somewhat. Prevent what they consider their 'investment' in the politicians.
