MAGAts at the cancer center today [View all]

Exact same couple I've run into twice already, they say their piece about tariffman and then turn their backs
to me like "that's all we're gonna say now that we owned a libtard, end of conversation."

Had no one else to talk to so plenty of time for gears turning upstairs. Was hoping the nurse would call my
name first and she obliged.

Got up, walking past the MAGAts I told them "Boy I sure hope our great President tRump kills Social Security
and Medicare like the super wealthy want him to do, they shouldn't have to help pay for our hospital bills, they
need all their money" then showed them my backside walking away.

Have never talked to an R like that before and never will again, just felt like giving them a taste of their own
medicine they like to dish out to Liberals. These 2 are true loyalists who worship Der orange Fuhrer.

The shocked look on their faces was worth it plus they were speechless.

So anyway I'm hooked up getting my hourly drip drip drip and thinking what I just did when it dawned on me
what should be our party's message going forward and it's so simple some of you will laugh at me and
dismiss it.......FOLLOW THE MONEY should be our rallying cry.

Isn't that the problem today? The 600? wealthiest families control most of the money, they use it to buy
R politicians who will write laws favorable to the super rich only. Plus it's the Rs who always want to cut
Social Security and Medicare while our side would love to increase them.

Rs give them huge tax breaks then our Government turns around and borrows it back from them with interest.

Some of the wealthiest pay no income tax but the IRS pays them money because of loop holes. Hey Mr & Mrs
poor R voter is that fair?

I truly believe if we make the next 2 elections about poor vs rich and if we had more money to spend because
of a higher minimum wage, we would be spending it creating more factory jobs to fill demand. The economy
would boom under our leadership.

And then there's follow the Epstein money to the really rich people who Rs are doing their best to keep secret
from the public, PEDOPHILE PROTECTORS because the rich have the money they want.

Donvict was billions in debt when elected, now he's billions to the good, FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Going forward my response to anyone wanting to talk politics will be FOLLOW THE MONEY if you want to know
how to improve this Democracy plus informational bits like millionaires on our side say tax me more while
millionaires on the R side say give me more money and loop holes.

FOLLOW THE MONEY needs to be repeated over and over again by all our Politicians and ourselves to get the
poor R voters to vote their pocketbook.

Some on our side already talk about wealth inequality, let's get everyone on board with the rallying cry
FOLLOW THE MONEY, you'll be glad you did. The rich don't need millions more to live comfortable.
