About as perfect of summation as one can read about why the economies and lives of the working class in red states are in the crapper. The thieving foxes in their own statehouses are killing them economically bit by bit and year after year, yet many of those same working class people gasping and grasping for help as they and their communities are drowning in ever increasing poverty blame Joe Biden instead of their own state representatives, state senators and governors who are robbing them blind of any kind of economic well-being.
So, instead of electing people at the state level who’ll actually enact policies that’ll help them take the journey up and out of poverty and despair, they look at freaking Trump to “save” them, when he’s multiple times worse than the members of their own statehouses in regards to not giving a shit about them, and will only exacerbate their problems with his worthless policies which are fueled by his own ginormous personal greed for wealth/power and his cold, dead, uncaring heart.
As always thank you David. Allowing these companies to ship the product production to southern states that are right to work, which keeps wages low and or taking the production lines out of the country has been one of the biggest contributors to our poverty rates. Lose of jobs also has an effect on drug use. IMO. I’m just hoping that the democrats have some great candidates lined up to run for the state next year. We have to get Sherrod Brown re-elected to keep the majority in the Senate. We can’t have Frank LaRose elected to Congress. Or Jon Husted to governor.
I believe one of the main factors behind this mess is term limits. I know, I know, career politicians and all that. But as someone once said ( I wish I could remember who that sage was! ), with term limits, the members are always looking elsewhere, which allows the lobbyists to run the show. Maybe it's time for Ohio to re-think the term limit laws, and get rid of the lobbyists. Might help to stem the tide?
Would you say that all U.S. states operate similarly? Or are there are some regions or states less repugnantly grasping? Does that depend on the degree of understanding and involvement of local citizens in local politics?
