I've been watching the comments on those that could possibly be on the fence of voting Dem or Trump on this issue and it is a tough topic. Sadly, I think the one asshole Rethug congressman (can't stand the SOB and am too lazy to look his name up) really hit one of the most commonly felt thoughts about this topic by working-class whites by pointing out how he did not feel people of today should have to pay for what others did 150 years ago. My point is, too often in the US, collective historical ignorance rules the day and ends all sorts of needed discussions over so many topics. But what really pisses me off about Dems is how quick they are to form that so-called circular firing squad and start shooting at full automatic.There are so many other things they could throw out there to help out working Americans. For example, the Child Tax Credit ends when your child hits 17. Make that so you get it for as long as your child lives at home. Next, there is a 3k Tax credit for retired Public Safety employees when it comes to Health Care Premiums. Raise that and make it more accessible for others.Next, really do something about Healthcare premiums in America. It is terrible that the richest country it the world has such high healthcare costs.
