341. what we can do now and in the near future

It was called a tax by Mr. Roberts as a weasel worded token to his corrupt republican legislators to allow them to say Obama raised taxes, even on the poor. I have no idea whether or not you are truly low income but I recognize many people who have lost their jobs are having to choose between food and housing or health insurance. If you favor the public options or medicare for all which would be supported more directly as a tax and more directly administered by the federal government, and you have the resources to work for this things (many low income do not have the resources -time, money, education etc) you believe in, I would say find a progressive candidate to support in the democratic primary and push the debate and the selection towards your goals which appear consistent with Progressive ideals. This works very well in primaries because the number of voters is usually small and the very committed have the chance to greatly influence the results. That is what I am going to do. But until we can do better -until we select and elect those with the goals you have, lets not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Work for the President and election of Democrats everywhere.
