Cutting Waste, Not Lives
Cutting Waste, Not Lives
I am a Democrat and to many of you what I am about to say will surprise you. Look I am all for cutting waste out of the government, in fact, I think it should have been done years ago. Yes, we also need to clean house of corrupt government officials and all the money and cutbacks they receive. I believe that yes, we can save billions of dollars in waste.
I also believe in sending back Illegal people. If you want to come here, do it legally like our grandparents did. You don't get to sneak into the county.
So yes, we agree on this.
Where this ends is that I believe in rights for everyone. Despite their color, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation. I want to help the poor, I want children to get a hot meal at school because I know this may be their only meal of the day. I want the elderly to have the care they worked for, paid for, and deserve. This is not a Ponzi scheme! The only Ponzi scheme is that all those years with interest that the government is holding on to their money, they should be getting more not less. I believe they shouldn't have to worry about choosing between their medications or eating.
I want the brave veterans to come home and have a home and the physical and mental health care they need and deserve for putting their lives on the line for our freedoms. They shouldn't have to fight here as well for basic needs, that they should be entitled to.
I don't believe the top 1 percent should have the most tax breaks while the rest of the 99% are struggling just to buy groceries.
I believe in freedom of speech and a right to a trial and due process for everyone, illegal or legal. Everyone deserves their day in court in front of a jury of their peers because this is the United States of America and this is what and who we are. The land of the free and of fair justice.
You don't get to block reporters who don't talk well about you, and kick them out of the press section in the white house. You don't get to arrest and deport people who are peacefully protesting because you don'tlike what they are saying. You don't get to kidnap and send people to foreign prisons without due process. That is not America, that is a dictatorship.
So today my friends, yes I do believe we need change but not on the backs of hard-working Americans. Let's cut taxes on billionaires, pharmaceutical companies, government officials, and companies making billions of dollars, not the elderly, the poor, children, people with disabilities, and families just trying to get by. I'm all for doing it the right way but this way is not making America great again, we need to cut waste not lives.
We all need to be the change we want to see.
