9. I'm not speaking from the standpoint of the Republican view of we pay our tax money

I'm speaking from the majority of people what is the majority of the country vote for
When they do polls for abortion what do the majority of the countries say they want?
When they do polls for healthcare what do the majority always say they want they want?


If the polling data is so important how come it's always ignored by one particular party?

What I am saying is as we the people the primary investors, and the majority voters, The government should be bending more to our will. Instead of treating us as if we are welfare recipients when we need some of our money back


Because if we are considered as investors, An investor can go to a corporation and ask for its investment back. And that's all that happens when someone needs welfare, or healthcare, or whatever the case may be. It's having our investment work better for us and having our money work better for us than we do for it.


I hope that separates me from the Republican thought process on individual taxpayers I'm not talking about yes just the individual I'm also speaking about how that relate to the majority of the country.

Does that clarify anything for you or you or at least relieve you Of other concerns you may have had
