Let the government shut down! Let every single one of them get a taste of what it feels like to be forced out of a job and a livelihood!
WE THE PEOPLE FUND EVERY SINGLE LAST PENNY
These career politicians that we've elected to "represent" US and to faithfully carry out the duties of government, are among the wealthiest people in America. How is it that sitting members of Congress can exponentially increase their own net worth, while at the same time be so derelict in their duties when it comes to spending OUR money?
Whether it's about covid stimulus or being able to fund the government to avoid a shutdown, the core issue remains the same: they are still collecting their salaries. They are all still employed. They arent being forced to shutter their businesses or wait in food lines or sleep on a fu***ng city street in the cold! And its OUR MONEY that keeping THEM warm at night.
This problem doesnt start and stop in Congress either. Governors who live in the PEOPLE'S mansions that WE PAY FOR, are clueless as to how their authoritatian power grabs are, literally, killing the same people who they rely upon for their taxpayer funded privileged lifestyles! They're too enamored by the personal benefits, profits, and perks dangled in from of them by the lobbyist sugar daddies, that they've lost all touch with who they are, and more importantly, who they're supposed to represent... WE, THEIR EMPLOYERS.
While the private sector struggles to barely survive under the dictatorships of elected officials at both the state and federal levels, the public sector is thriving without any perceived threat to their comfort. What does it matter that our kids cant learn in a classroom, when the teachers are still getting paid and the teacher's unions are demanding even more of our scarce, hard earned money - never mind the fact that many parents dont even have a job or business to return to.
As long as they can keep us begging them for bits of their table scraps, they're going to continue feasting on every tender morsel we provide them. So, I say, let the government shut down. Show each and every one of them that without us, they are irrelevant and we're no longer going to enrich their lifestyles as they devise more ways to destroy our lives.
