Middle class people don’t have money to buy politicians, but with a little work we can attain something much better- an informed vote. The only thing that is going to save the Middle Class is the Middle Class. We are the 99%—- that means we have the votes to elect people who will actually represent middle class workers and provide a safety net for those who are trying to get into the middle class ………………………………………….We all need to know who is supporting the candidates. That is who they will be working for. They have no choice if they want to stay in office. You have to do the bidding of whoever is paying your way, just the same as we all do in our jobs. So, before going to vote, look it up on the internet. Open Secrets is a good site, but there are plenty. If your rep is voting for the Middle Class, keep him, otherwise try the other party’s candidate. Keep at it until you find one who will actually vote for the Middle Class. If enough people did that, eventually there would be no selling out to the rich folks, because they would know it would mean they were getting voted out next election
……………………………………………………………………………………… If the candidate is getting their money from small donors or from unions, they are going to be working for middle class working people. If their donations are from corporations or from 1%ers, that’s who their votes are going to be working for. They are not going to go against them and do anything to help the middle class.
……………………………………………………………………………………It would be political suicide.

Be more concerned about where it will keep you.

Maybe if you plant it deep enough, it will just stay quiet.

Your new politician won’t stay at your house. They prefer luxury accomodations. Preferably where their wife and kids can’t see what they’re doing.

Don’t get one. They smell from too many smoke-filled room meetings, emit large volumes of hot air from both ends and are impossible to potty train.

Not .much of an issue – most politicians don’t STAY bought for very long anyway.
