I’ve been around the planet just long enough to have allowed at least 10,000 politicians to tell me things that I knew were untrue and I was sure they knew it too. Not just Democrats and Republicans but Independents, Greenies, and Nut-bags. I’ve watched more than my share of debates, listen to the all-knowing Mainstream Media television pundits, and was assured that the polls they all quoted were legitimate. Am I stupid or what?

The following list was put together some time ago by a disgruntled voter who actually had the gall to ask politicians for their thoughts on these topics. The list hasn’t changed in 15 years and yet we still never get answers.

• You can get arrested for expired tags on your car but not for being in the country illegally.

• Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more of our money.

• Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while children of “underprivileged” drug addicts are left to rot in filthy surroundings.

• Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, and subsidized housing.

• The government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide endless weeks of unemployment checks (to not work).

*****

• Some politicians think that stripping away the amendments to the Constitution is really protecting the rights of the people.

• The rights of the government come before the rights of the individual.

• Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you “safe” (gun ownership).

• You have to have your parent signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion.

• And 80-year-old woman can be strip-searched by the TSA but a Muslim woman wearing a burka is only subject to having her neck and head searched.

Elections are coming. Question the government inequities and closely examine every word that comes out of the mouth of every candidate. Double speak is the tool of the untrustworthy.

INFLATION IS NOT OUR FRIEND MR. BIDEN
