re: #104 WindUpBird

Things that make America strong, class mobility, creating a strong middle class, encouraging small business growth and innovation (and I mean SMALL, smaller more agile self-started business is the future of the middle class of america) , encouraging strides in education, people-centered policy, policy that takes into account the struggles of individuals and their desire tor each their full potential

these are the things that make me interested in politics

and these are the reasons I tend to vote Democrat, because they make better noises on these issues than Republicans do

I used to vote for the person I thought would do the better job. I have been voting a straight Dem ticket for quite a while. I’m not happy with many politicians anymore. They all seem to be in someone’s pocket. We desperately need campaign finance reform. Corporate America seems to have control of our government and neither party will make a difference until we change that.
