Reply #4: The DNC sent me an email begging for a donation [View All]

Here's what I sent them:

I'm the wrong person to be asking for a donation. There are only a handful of Democrats in Congress that are worthy of my support, and I will be giving directly to those who align with my progressive principles.

Every single person in Congress and the White House that howls about the budget deficit should immediately vote to cut their pay to one third of what it is, along with their staff, pay for their own health insurance (like ordinary Americans do), and fund their own retirement. That's what you ask Americans to do - you do it first.

Frankly, there is such a disconnect between what is the true problem with out budget deficit, it's ridiculous. Most Americans know what the problem is - rampant waste in the defense budget, too many tax cuts for the wealthy, too many corporate subsidies and corporations that pay no taxes.

We give bailouts to banks, which then pay little to no taxes, no one goes to jail, and meanwhile, inflation is rampant. The problem isn't just Republicans, it's Democrats, too. Both have turned into little more than corporate mouth pieces intent on getting their own, competing for lobbyist dollars, while essentially turning our government over completely to the wealthy.
