Refreshing

Yep to both commenters

Noble and uplifting words. Yet why do I not feel the least bit in charge?
If I fail to pay property taxes on my fully-owned home it will be foreclosed upon by government officials and auctioned for a percentage to Larry (((Fink))) of (((Blackrock)))–or some other (((schuyster))).
In a New York minute.
Our citizens are massively overtaxed, regulated up the wazoo.
Then we read about where our money has gone, how is is wasted, how a segment of our society becomes shamelessly rich (the ruling class & their friends).
We only have the power to vote. And even that is usurped constantly, our votes flipped, uncounted, discarded, the opposition’s (demo-communist party) votes counted multiple times.
No, I do not feel even a “smidgen” of “power” lodged in my chest for all the work, taxes and honest dealings with my fellow citizens over half a century.
Color me “black-pilled.”
