If you want free stuff... vote Democrat!

What free stuff?

We pay taxes but we have little, or no say, on where they go.

We don't want endless war and the largest prison population in the history of the world. We don't want expensive healthcare and a huge population living in poverty. The list goes on.

We want lead free drinking water. We want our children educated and our people healthy. We want a better America than the one we were born in. We want progress.

The taxes we pay can cover it. It's about priorities.

Democrats don't want free stuff. We just want what we pay for.

the rich to pay back the money that our tax dollars gave them. I want the money that my taxes paid to corporations who pay no taxes and moved overseas.
I don't want free stuff. All the stuff that I want has been paid for, and ripped off from us by the 1%.
I want justice!

If you get "Free" money from the Federal government to go to school. What happens to it?
If you get "Free" money for food stamps from the Federal government . What happens to it?

Hint
The answer to the last question is: Lobsterman take it in return for lobsters.
