Heard In Georgia: Psssst. Hey Buddy. Listen Up. Wanna Know How To Make An Easy $1200.00?....

Just vote for the two Dem candidates for the U.S. Senate in the Jan 5th election. You get them elected and they along with Kamala and the rest of the Dem Senate will pass the Hero's Act - and that means a $1200.00 check will be put in the mail to you compliments of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Dems in Congress.

Just know that Trump and the Repugs won't do that for you. The Dems will.

Yes, I want the Dem's to win but I'm not sure I am comfortable with the "pay to vote". Perhaps I don't understand this fully.

longer be majority leader of the Senate (if the 2 Georgia senators are elected) and be able to block everything. Most people in the US will receive another stimulus check of $1200.00

The one-per-centers "got paid" when they voted for Chump and when they donated to his presidential campaigns. He "paid" them with monster tax cuts, and their wealth has grown exponentially because of it. Yeah, no. Not the same thing at all.

there is a difference between paying someone to vote a certain way and telling them that if a certain candidate gets elected that they will most likely receive benefits. big difference.

Republicans have made a living blaming Dems for raising taxes, so this is a way that Democrats can raise the ante, beat them at their own game while giving the voters and the economy a nice boost.
