In reply to the discussion: Interesting Opinion Piece ... Actually, a series of OP ... [View all]psychmommy
(1,739 posts)73. I am not asking you to vote for anything.
If you think that the establishment you are voting for is going to try to make everyone pay their fair share you are mistaken. Though you are affluent, if you have kids-they are still black. if you have sons they are in danger. You are not as affluent as the top 10% and it is their issues being met by the establishment in each party. Do you want clean air to breathe and water to drink-no matter what country you are in? Do you want to know whats in your food and where it comes from? i want toys and cars to be safe. If any of these are your concern, then you are voting against your interests.

Please do not define others as "not progressive" because they do not support your candidate.

Reading simple and obvious headers at the top of a thread page must be so very difficult.
